EBAY IS IMPOSING SELLER FEES WITHOUT SELLER PERSMISSION

I NEVER PROMOTED ITEMS AND NOW BEING CHARGED CAMPAIGN FEES

I GUESS I HAVE TO STOP SELLING. 😞

Well, that's a smart move- cutting off your own nose instead of finding out what happened and/or fighting.

Contact reps at facebook (they can actually do something most times). They will be able to look up your account and see what's happening.

I have twice. First one said I added campaign ( I never did) and helped me last night to end them. No campaigns showing and now today a sale with regular fees and over $7.00 campaign fees. On phone with them all day. Said to cancel all and relist...LOL over 200 items BUT...believe it is the computer is AI assessing what it thinks I want and automatically changing it to promoted campaign. If I didn't do it? Why is it there? I just bought 2000 pcs to list and get into ebay again. On hold with them as I write. 2 sales over $15.00 in Campaign fees without my permission. It will be a class action suit if this is happening across the country.

Any thoughts? Other places to sell online?

If it was on there once and then 'ended' it will STILL remain for 30 days after a 'promoted item' was clicked on (even if wrong) so you'll have to just a.) eat it b.) relist

How about this ... you did by mistake without knowing it ... or are you one of those who are incapable of making mistakes?

Doing it by mistake is hundreds of thousands of times more likely than a computer glitch doing it by itself. And if a computer glitch did do it by itself the data would basically be random, none of it would make any sense, and it almost certainly wouldn't promote more than 1 item.

If you had 1 item promoted at 5983 percent with a campaign name of Fw0f88y, then that would be a believable computer glitch.

Why would eBay need your permission to charge fees for you to sell?
This is eBay's website, they make the rules and fee schedules.

Campaign fees are charged for up to 30days after the click. Halo effect is what they call it.

I thought of my mistake but not 26 times on 26 auctions. We did figure out the second one for now. Customer put in offer before we erased campaign so when she paid it must have been there already.

HALO EFFECT? For clicks someone may have made and then went back to make a purchase within 30 days?

I think this one just promoted it and charged fee if it sold. It wasn't per click. Over $15.00 for 2 items at sale.

See because I don't really know I don't promote. I see the "Promote Listing" button above my auctions but haven't looked into it all yet. Just wanted to get more listed and fix some older listing because just trying to get back selling again.
