What an absolute rort ebay fees are. The pretext of advertising that to list your item/s are free but then charge an exhorbitant insertion fee is an insult to anyone's intelligence. How does one list an item for sale without inserting it?  What a joke!!!!

Surely this blatant rort is criminal to say the least. Misleading to say the least.

 

To add insult to injury, to charge the percentage of FVF ( final value fee) is another criminal fee rort & to include any postage charges as part of that. Postage costs are not what goes in a seller's pocket, it goes to  Oz Post, it's not a profit that the seller makes.

 

I'd advise anyone who can rort ebay, the best of luck & hope every seller does it.

I am guessing you forgot to read the Terms and Conditions.

the free listing / insertion fee is for the FIRST CATEGORY you list in only.

if you choose to list in more than one Category, you will be charged the normal insertion fee on the 2nd category.

if you have used up all you monthly allocation of free insertions, then you will be charged 2 x insertion fees for listing in 2 categories, eBay see it as 2 separate listings for the same item.

always pays to read the small print first before using the site.
