Now there is a way to make some money...................... 

 

We charge a buyer’s fee in addition to the final bid price effective March 21, 2023.  SEE BELOW 

Sale Price Under $999.00 =  $130.00

Sale Price from $1000 to $1999.00  = $170.00

Sale Price from $2000 to $2999.00  = $235.00

Sale Price from $3000 to $3999.00  = $300.00

Sale Price from $4000 to $4999.00  = $375.00

Sale Price from $5000 or higher = 9% of Final Bid Price

The buyer’s fee is non-negotiable. If you do not agree with the terms, please do not bid.

You could set up a specific handling fees to your shipping rules but it would be a set fee and does not change based on the selling price.

It's a vehicle dealer, who is selling vehicles donated for charity.

 

Since vehicles are not paid for on eBay (only the deposits) and the auction/sales are not binding, I am not sure that this would be considered a violation of policy.

Used-car dealers are just full of surprises.  Some buyers don't notice the terms and take issue with them:

The question I had about it.    Any pinks out there?

You can report any listings you see that violate policy.  Actual enforcement is up to eBay, but who knows whether they'll take action or not.  Otherwise, unless you're the one trying to buy it, I wouldn't worry too much.  They're just shooting themselves in the foot.

I was not purchasing.  I just wondered about it.
