|
|
Here in the UK eBay adds a Buyer's Protection fee onto the bid amount.
In my imported watchlist, where I can make snipes, the current bid sometimes shows the current bid including the fee and sometimes it shows it excluding the fee. I suspect that Gixen is displaying whatever value eBay sends and eBay are not being consistent.
I just got stung badly because I did not realise that my maximum bid (my snipe) was excluding fees. So I just won an auction for ?100 but when I went to pay it was ?120 because fees.
It would be good if Gixen could take fees into account.
eBay says:
When purchasing from UK-based private sellers, the Buyer Protection fee is calculated as:
A flat fee of ?GBP 0.10 per item, and
7% of the item price up to ?GBP 20, and
4% of any portion of the item price from ?GBP 20 to ?GBP 300, and
2% of any portion of the item price from ?GBP 300 to ?GBP 4,000
There is a cap on the total fee amount you'll ever pay. Any portion of the item price over ?GBP 4,000 will not incur any additional fee. When purchasing multiple quantities within a listing, the flat fee is only charged once.
If you cannot do this then maybe have a big warning that snipe bids to not include fees. |
