I post a pair of shoes on here months ago. But when I realized eBay was charging my card $100+ I deleted the item. They have been charging me 54 for the past 5 months and I just found out and reposted my shoes for sale🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

This does not sound like the whole story....

$54 a month? for what?

Sorry, that sounds like maybe you signed up for an advanced store or something. Even if you took the most basic store subscription you would pay only $10 a month and get many free listings. If you don't sign up for a store you would get charged less then $1 for listing alone per month and then only get charged again if it sells.

Something off here

Those shoes sold for 520+shipping, could that $54 be an invoice for final value fees?

[loveyourimagination49]

You sold a pair of shoes on 11/17 for $520 +$12.90 shipping. Is that correct?

[reallynicestamps]

Without a Store you have 200 Free Listings.

You can opt for various PAID "upgrades" most of which are useless. If the item does not sell those upgrade fees are still due.

You will pay 10% of the selling price for Final Value Fees on Sold items.

You will pay 10% of the shipping price for Final Value Fees on shipped items.

You will also pay for payment processing.

Paypal charges you 30c plus 2.9% of the entire payment they process.

This covers checking that the customer has actually paid, clearing the banking system, and providing some seller protections (and more buyer protections) against fraud.

If the buy has a non-US PP account the 2.9% rises to 4.4%.

In addition, if your buyer lives in a state with sales tax, eBay will bill them by adding the tax to your invoice, collecting the tax and remitting to the appropriate state. While this is never touched by you, you will be charged the same 2.9% on the tax as you are on the rest of the buyer's payment.

No seller likes this, but it has been the industry standard for decades and yes, it is legal.

Just for fun, how did you think eBay and Paypal stayed in business?

??????

Have you been selling the shoes and not shipping them?  If you sell the shoes, cancel the order, relist and sell again you will pay about $54 for each 'sale'.
