You do NOT want to *speak* to an ebay rep.

You will get the worthless overseas contractors that will tell you what you want to hear to get you off the phone.

Go to ebay's Facebook for Business page:

https://www.facebook.com/eBayForBusiness/

or twitter

You are trying to sell that HD motorcycle on ebay as a new user?

I know you have (15) for feedback....but you are going to be a scammers magnet.

I would not sell that here.

Just some seasoned advice.

I've had a logon to ebay probably since 1995 and have often purchased from it, but never listed anything to sell. What a freaking shock attempting to sell my motorcycle on ebay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had no idea they were going to charge me $79/week and continue my listing week after week.

I believe I agreed to 1 relisting and was shocked as **bleep** when they told I owed them $158.

Then minutes ago I got an email saying they relisted my item for a third week, and I have no idea how to stop it! $237 DOLLARS and no one to talk to? It took me about a half hour of clicking around and finally found where I can cancel my account. They sent me an email explaining the account cancelation process that had a link to where I can stop my motorcycle listing, so I did that. But I ain't paying these RIP OFF **bleep**s anything!

So, I take it you didn't read what eBay's fees are for listing a motorcycle before you listed it?

Fees for selling vehicles on eBay Motors

How did you think the selling fees for the motorcycle were computed? How much did you think it would cost?

Just out of curiousity I checked out that page for listing vehicles.

Fees for selling a vehicle on eBay Motors

The contact form was right at the bottom for them to chat or call me back.....

(nice bike) had a similar one

If you do not want it to relist , immediately end the listing. You are a new seller. Why are you selling this here? Ebay will hold your funds besides the fees. If you never sold anything before, start by selling cheap items and not expensive items. Anyway, I highly recommend that you sell this on a free website and accept ONLY cash. Goodluck. And yes, you owe those fees to ebay. It is NOT ebay's fault that you failed to read the fees. Keep in mind that Ebay is a big company and they will destroy your credit score if you do not pay ebay their fees. Hopefully you have learned this valuable lesson. Goodluck.

Maybe it's my age and eye sight, but I thought it cost $19.

rakocher5t2s · ‎03-18-2023

That wasn't the time I needed to speak to someone. It was almost 2 weeks later after an email said I owed $158 when I needed to speak to someone!

rakocher5t2s · ‎03-18-2023

I easily spent a half hour today clicking in circles on "contact us" with no phone numbers or chats in sight!

eBay Customer Service

dunno if that's for a seller or buyer

rakocher5t2s · ‎03-18-2023

Apparently I had no idea what I was getting into! I just assumed ebay was a good company. I didn't know how to end the listing! It wasn't until I stumbled upon where I can click on 'Cancel my account' and on a follow up email to cancel it had a link to where I could end my listing!

I also have it on Craigslist with REAL people really interested in the bike. For all I know no one ever even saw it on ebay!

I'm 68 years old and I don't **bleep** ebay or good credit anymore!
