Cancelling/Removing a listing and fees

[horses101pink]

Hi, I am new to selling on e-bay. If I have to cancel or remove a listing what fees am I charged? I assume I am still charged a $0.30 fixed value fee. Am I still charged a variable percentage Final Value Fee of 12.9%?

If you cancel or remove a listing before the item is sold, there is no final value fee, no 30-cent fee, and no penalty.

The only exception is if you end an auction early after it has received one or more bids, and you choose to cancel all the bids and end with no sale rather than selling to the current high bidder; then you'll be charged a penalty fee which is equal to what the final value fee would have been.

Once in a while. eBay will charge a final value fee when a listing is ended early, IF they have reason to believe that this was done in order to take the transaction off-eBay, usually to avoid fees, usually based on content of messages exchanged about the item.

I am being charged by ebay but I just removed the item because I didnt want to sell it anymore.  How do I resolve this?

Was it an auction that had bids? If so, then there's nothing to "resolve," since eBay's policy is to charge you the final value fee.

The one other exception would be if you had a reserve on the item. If you cancel, even if there are no bids, I believe eBay will still charge you the FVF on the reserve price.

@z4coupe07,

In your situation, I suspect that you are being charged because of the last possibility that was mentioned by @nobody*s_perfect.

I reviewed your listings. You had a lot of watchers, so there was a lot of interest. I could not confirm whether you had received any bids or not, but the first auction listing ended without a buyer. Then it was relisted, but ended early after less than a day.

If you had received any messages with offers from interested buyers, then eBay may have concluded that you decided to take the sale off eBay.
