Reserve fee

Absolutely scandalous add no a fee for a reserve price. **bleep** fuming I have just had to pay over £300 for reserve prices for items that never got sold or had any interest in whatsoever. **bleep** furious where can I go for this.

@cariadjewellerystore 

I erred in my previous reply. I mistakenly thought your first listing (ended earlier today) was another auction listing with a reserve. 

 

That previous listing was NOT an auction but was FP/BO, which is the better way you should have listed it. 

 

Now that you've already been charged for the reserve, let the auction run its course but if it doesn't sell or doesn't meet the reserve, relist it as you previously did. 

 

Note that if you don't want to deal with lowball offers (for the b.o. option), you can set an auto-decline amount and any offers less than that amount will be declined without you having to respond to them.

Guessing that the OP's listings can't be seen on the USA eBay.com site or were listed on a different account because I don't see any sold/completed listings in the past 90 days looking from here.  

Not saying this didn't happen, just that am not able to see the item being talked about. 


It's on the .co.uk site:

You can go to eBay.co.uk to see the seller's listings. They have one active auction with an opening bid of £1 and a BIN of 3500, and one ended listing that was fixed price with Best Offer, also at 3500.

The maximum reserve fee on eBay.co.uk is £150

During the process of creating a listing if I select to add a Reserve the reserve fee is shown. The total of all fees are shown before the listing is completed.  I can list many, many items at the same time and just before the final accept there is a message stating the fees.

 

Sometimes if you call eBay and convince them you did not understand the fees they will remove the fees.  Worth a try?


Doubt they'll get far with that attitude lol


 

They would probably be back complaining because CS keeps hanging up on them.

Have a great day.

Re: Reserve fee

Still, a big difference between 150 and over 300!
