EBAY MOTORS!!! SELLERS BEWARE!!!!

Ebay Motors just charged me $100 FVF for selling my jet ski.  It is usually $40.  They said it was because I was in a price testing and got my insertion fees for $8 instead of $30.  Well, this was a relist so I didn't have to pay the $8!!!!  You tell me how this makes any since??  I am now stuck paying 100 instead of 40!!!!  Even if it was my 1st listing then I'd rather pay 30 insertion fee + 40 FVF=$70 then $100!!!!  I tried and tried to explain this to the live chat and all they kept saying is that I was a picked ebayer to try out this pricing test!!!!!!   I won't be selling there anymore.  Going back to CRAIGSLIST!!!!!!

they cannot do that!!!!
they MUST inform you of their pricing change!
They are legally bound to inform their customers when their prices are changing.
Keep at em.
they are not doing right by you.

Thanks for the advice. I sent them an email last night and waiting on them to reply.

I thought it was a good sale too until I got the bill. Oh well. I'll keep bugging them. :)

Have a great day!!!! It's beautiful out here today.

As a Law student this sounds illegal to me - in your position I would get a legal opinion, but lets face it Ebay and PayPal seem to just do what they please these days and are completely unregulated!!! See my recent Posts for more...

I'm not even a big seller so I don't know why they wouldn't think I wouldn't notice??? They are saying that they sent out an email regarding this test. I can't find it. I'm sure that if I read that I would have waited until this price testing was done. They said that they have been doing it since April and it ends May 23rd.

I do NOT think that sounds right, I would be furious and not just threaten them with a lawyer but actually get one, that is just plain bull shit

Yep! I'm going to just keep sending them the same email over and over until they do something and start the threats. :)
