Month added to Monthly Store Subscription When You Cancel Before Renewal Date!?!?!?

[1nicebuy]

What in the heck?  I went to cancel my monthly store subscription on Oct 25 which renews on Nov 1 and it added a another month saying my store subscription would end Dec 1 instead of Nov 1. Never seen any sort of monthly subscription service do this.  Makes no sense.

It's an early termination fee thing.

And I wouldn't waste my time contesting it.

Be thankful it's not a 'gym membership'  which are usually impossible to cancel.

Like any business it's in the fine print everyone agrees to without reading.  

eBay Stores Subscription Terms of Service | eBay.com

"If you have a yearly subscription and you cancel your Store prior to the last calendar month of your Subscription Term You’re charged an early termination fee. In addition, you’re billed at the current Store subscription fee rate for the calendar month during which you canceled."

The OP says he has a monthly store subscription, not an annual subscription; it should have ended on October 31. The subscription would have been extended IF this was their first month, due to the "Mandatory subscription period" (defined as " the period between the Subscription Start Date and the end of the first full calendar month of your current subscription".)

When canceling your Stores subscription:

• If you have a monthly subscription and you cancel your Store during the Mandatory Subscription Period:
  • You’re billed the current Store subscription fees for the Mandatory Subscription Period.
  • You receive the current Store subscription benefits for the Mandatory Subscription Period.
  • After the Mandatory Subscription Period, you pay standard fees for any new listings.
• If you have a monthly subscription and you cancel your Store after the Mandatory Subscription Period:
  • You’re billed the current Store subscription fees for the entire calendar month during which you cancel.
  • You receive Store benefits corresponding to the current subscription until the end of the calendar month during which you cancel.

Why is everybody talking about annual subscriptions and early termination fees when the seller said they’re on a monthly subscription?
