Unexplained $4 charge

I had sold an item about 2 to 4 weeks ago and have not bought anything, I had 2 other items listed and then I get a random 4 dollar charge to my credit card. No explanation just a notification that I had been charged. I want to know why I was charged and I want my money back.

Might that be a surcharge from the shipping carrier? I understand UPS and FedEx like to tack on fees after shipment for various reasons. USPS can also charge for underpaid shipments (e.g. a package heavier than its declared weight).

not sure if it helps but I just had two charges on my card and had to think about what they were for

in my case the order numbers come after the asterisk so it was not hard to figure out

you can see the example below

eBay O*27-09655-02240 2535 North First Street San Jose 95131 CA USA

eBay O*10-09668-36064 2535 North First Street San Jose 95131 CA USA

When you list an item, the fee to do so (if any) is clearly visible right above the blue box where you list it. Sounds like a bold fee. You better check the listing in case it is set to renew, as you will be charged again.

Look before you list!

Is it still 'unexplained' or 'random' with no explanation?

or did you get your money back?

Did you add "Bold" to a listing priced under $150?

That would cause a $4 listing upgrade charge.
