“Commission on Postage”

written by Tandoorinights on 01/01/2015

I have been a loyal customer to ebay for many years. I have even refused to withdraw items from an auction and sell privately as I though this was not fair. Ebay now charges commission on postage which I believe is unfair. I wrap the sold goods extremely well and I only charge enough to cover the packing and postage as I do not believe in cheating buyers. If I paid commission I would be losing money. I was never notified prior to sales that ebay was going to charge this commission. Charging commission in this way is unlawful under UK, Irish and European law. In view of this I refused to pay the £4 commission on postage for the last sending. I have informed ebay on numerous occasions of the above and can never illicit a response other than to say that they are suspending my account. However I understand that they now intend to despatch all the goods on the vendors behalf, presumably to get around the law. I guess that they can see a profit to be made on charging extra for postage. I will no longer deal with ebay whether buying or selling nor will I use my Paypal account. In fact I have cancelled my account with Paypal as this is owned by ebay.
