Standard ad fee

[atomp3]

Why was I charged for an "Ad Fee Standard"? I don't recall requesting any special service for this item.

Is there a way to inquire about a refund for this fee?

Did you sign up for promoted listings?

Ad Fee Standard

would be Promoted Listing Fee based on the percentage you selected when you listed the item.

You can check to see if others are being promoted by listing your "Active Listings" 

There should either be a filter for or a column for Promoted Listings showing the info for that item.....

The amount is charged separately from the FVF and will show you which item number it is affiliated with....

Yup, that's a Promoted Listings fee.

I did not sign up for promoted listing. eBay states i was charged 4.1% extra. I did not want or request that.

How can I get a refund from eBay?

[simply-the-best-for-you]

You can follow the help menu to Customer Service.  I doubt they'll refund though, as somehow the item got promoted, which obviously helped it sell.

You should check your other listings to see if any goof them are promoted. Go to your active listings in sellers hub and check the Promoted Listings column.

Double check your listings, you may have clicked the promoted listing fee on an item or items.

Good luck!

None of my other items are being "promoted" and I've never used any promotions in the past. Oh well. Thanks anyways.

I have exactly the same problem. i have not opt it Standard Ads Fees and they took £15 pounds after selling the item.

Do you ever use "Sell Similar" to list, (using someone else's listing as a template?)  If that seller was promoting his listing, maybe that carried over? I'm just speculating, don't know if that can happen or not....

Your post about having it added, and the other people stating to check - so we did and none of ours have it BUT - the amounts that ebay suggests is hilarious!  Most funny part is they suggest three different amounts for what are basically the same items - a piece of paper with printing on it - which are all listed for the same price. Amounts ranges from 4.4% - 6.6% - 7.%.

Makes no sense to me.

Oh, it makes sense to me when you're talking "money grabs".

It sounds like you may be referring to seller fees that eBay charges on all items once they have been sold. This is the US board so I don’t know what the UK charges but you should be able to find out on the UK site.  Sign into that site, click on help and contact at the top of the page and type in selling fees to get that information.

I just had the same issue. I never signed up for ads and am being charged 15% on top of regular fees. Did you resolve this?
