Looks like the seller pulled the auction and sold outside of eBay. I wonder what £ he achieved?

Yea ..real shame that J .. Why do eBay allow that when they are so Draconian on other stuff like giving out address and email/phone details etc. plus they must be missing out on good revenue, as time and time again this is happening. The max. I saw it at was £10.5k ... anyone see it go higher? I would guess his reserve was £15k+

I just attempted to sent an eBay sold item by UPS but the eBay PackLink delivery service has errored for over a day, so I had to do it manually but didn't have the buyers email or phone number ... GRRR!

As I posted on here recently ..when you complete the PackLink transaction it gives you the sellers 'phone number and email address ... worth sticking this info on here somewhere it can be readily accessed. The previous trick of attempting to issue a PayPal refund, in order to get the buyers email address, no longer works.

If you pull an auction with bids on it you still pay the fees on the final price it was sitting on
Up to £250..
They will let you off once but only once.

I found this out first hand .

Obviously if it's a classified you pay up front but have a way smaller final selling fee

That's interesting. What happens if a seller sells the bike elsewhere as many of them add within their description 'advertised elsewhere so may be withdrawn'. Would ebay still come after the seller for the fees?

[Woodside]

I believe this is correct after getting caught out before ...i then looked abit closer at fees.
If it's a classified add you pay a fee upfront.  So they already have their slice..  then they charge a tiny fee if someone presses buy it now.
If it's an all out auction they take 10% up to £2500 and its then capped at £250.

If you pull an auction with bids up to a grand they charge you a 100 quid .... for the help.

I found this out when I had a racing tribsa on auction sitting at about 3500 and then the original builder called me and let me have a shed load of history so I needed to reassess my options...
Ebay fees were £250 .
I did manage to call and i said I couldn't start it so advert was misleading...they let me off but said it was a one time exception...

It's a shame they dont go after the scammers with such vigor.  I have reported a scammer on three seperate occassions (the one with 2500 bikes and cars for sale), his add's get removed and a few days later he's back!
