Hi,
I am new to this forum. Usually I lurk around the premier designer forum, but I have stumble to a bit of problem here. Normally, I am a pretty good ebayer. I will do my research and etc before bidding or selling, but unfortunately yest I bought an item on whim which let me to a bit of glitch.
The credibility of the seller is in question. I have further communicate with her for more picture (just to let you know that I have already won the listing) and am waiting for her to response. It was after the listing only I did a search on the seller and found out that there are very unfavourable response. But there is a tpf-er that is in contact with the seller ( I think she might have bought something from them) I have contacted the tpf-er to shade some more light whether the seller is legit (Waiting for response).
Anyway, I was looking at the listing and notice something very strange. I never encounter such thing before. The Seller would like the buyer to pay an extra 7% to cover the 9% ebay fees and 5% paypal fees (apparently we are going with half so to be fair).
Is that even legit?
I mean I am a seller myself, I know that when I want to sell an item, there be fees incurring for me to list the item and also when I receive the money. I always thought these fees be absorb by the seller as they are the person who want their item to sell, so by going through ebay they get their item out there .
So my question is, if the seller is to demand the extra 7% fees must I pay? Or is there are rule on paypal and ebay said that the fees must come out from the seller pocket?
Sorry for all the confusion!
Any help you can provide be excellent!!
Thank you
