BEWARE eBay charging hidden fraudulent fees

[difficult_elk]

All sellers beware.

Under eBay’s new policies, eBay will charge a fee that you will not be able to see unless you scrutinise your fee breakdown. 

The fee is known as an “International Fee” and it is charged if the Buyer simply has a shipping address registered with eBay that is based overseas.

This fee will be charged even if:

1.Your listing was set up not to allow International bids
2. The Buyer provided a domestic address for shipping;

3. You post the item domestically;

4. The Buyer simply has an overseas address registered with eBay. 

How is it relevant to me as a Seller what addresses the Buyer registers with eBay?

How is this legal? I suspect it’s only legal because we agree to it when signing up to the new payment policies.

Any request for a refund will be denied and you will be directed to the policy page.

Baa.

If it's set out in the terms and conditions,  not sure how it's fraudulent or hidden, unless you didnt read the T&C's,  in which case it's your fault anyhow.  I could lend you my glasses?

Baa

I am still waiting for you to advise how you conclude it is fraudulent,  sheep or not, at least I know which way is up.

If you don;'t want to pay the fee,   It    is    really     simple,     just    cancell     any     international      sales     and     choose      something     wrong     with     buyers       address.

I can't seem to sell my magazines anywhere else. Or locally.

And I just about got bids on every item i listed recently. And some extraordinary bid wars happening.

Can't complain, I just factor in "any" fees.
