Ebay Monthly Fees Double Dipping again

[hidden-staircase]

In January Ebay charged the monthly fee for January and also charged for the February fee.  This is not the first time that they have shifted fees around to probably show more income to their investors.

Does your store renew in January? They always charge for the renewal month along with the next month. Not sure why, but that's what they do.

Yes; usually the month of 're upped subscription' does NOT have a charge, then double the next month.

Where might be the "Double Dipping?" 

verb

informal•North American

gerund or present participle: double-dipping

1. 1.

   obtain an income from two different sources, typically in an illicit way.

   "they compared notes and discovered that he was double-dipping"

   SMH

So what does the explanation say?  When mine came out it  notated the month:  

Mar 2, 2023 20:26:30

Store (Basic): Subscription Fee ID: 2-708352892-62-9 1 - 31 Mar Completed

I did....there is no "double-dipping" involved

do you see anything that was "double" anything?

If the OP paid February again in March, that might qualify....but that is not what happened AGAIN (added for emphasis).

OP has 

7.1K Items sold

122 Followers

and 6981 items listed........certainly has been through it prior...even so

it's March

why even bring it up? Jan is paid...Feb is paid....March is paid....it's all good

Good for her.

To some of us the improper use of language is the visual equivalent of the proverbial “fingernails on the blackboard”.

I see many posts on these boards where the poster uses inaccurate words leaving at least some of us unsure of what it is that they are really trying to say.

I cringe when I hear a reporter improperly declare that “the town was decimated by the tornado”, or a woman wrongly using “chauvinist” to criticize male supremacist views, or my brother saying “irregardless” (although frankly I think he does it because he enjoys displaying his faux ignorance).

No they're not. Please post screenshots and we can further help you.

Okay,  Why bring it up now?

We were unaware that we had paid no fee in the month of January.  Details as follows:

No Fee charged in the month of January

The January Fee was charged on Feb 3rd

The February Fee was charged on Feb 3rd

The March Fee was charged on March 3rd

Our mistake.  Looking back, the same pattern existed for 2022.

no harm...no foul.....

I just didn't get the headline....that's all

I get inexplicably frustrated when people say "two times" instead of "twice."

@anasazirose 

I believe what you meant was "I COULDN'T care less". To say "I could care less" indicates that there is some level of care below which you could still go. And I have no idea what you meant by "wasn't very pacific".

Thank you for proving my point.

Exactly what I was doing, lol.  I also have the pet peeves about proper language usage.  I used 2 of my favorites.  You picked up on 1, the other, well, haven't you ever heard someone use 'pacific' instead of 'specific'?

[toomuchstuffagain35]

The reason they give for doing it this way is that until the renewal date passes they don't know if you're going to renew or cancel.

Which (imho) is really weird considering they have no problem billing us for stuff other times.

eta: because I can't type tonight.
