In October, I sold some parts for around $1300.00, and the fees were $63.94. In December, I sold a Go-Kart for $525.00. The listing fees were $8.35, and today I get an invoice for $100.00. Do they have a yearly member's fee of some sort? According to their figures, the selling fees should have been about $27.00. A hundred dollars is such a random amount, I can't figure out what it is. I've already checked, and it isn't spam. Just seems odd. Any ideas, or similiar issues?

And I filed a "Not Delivered" resolution claim today with eBay and PayPal.

Sorta on topic ... it's eBay related, so ...

I think, after 10+ years of doing business on eBay, I've been burned.

I purchased an auto service cart from a guy with low feedback numbers, but everything was 100% positive. About 1/2 was him as a seller. The purchase occurred December 27th and I paid him on December 31st.

His communication is poor at best, going 3 and 4 days between excuses about how he is having issues, ranging from his brother in a motorcycle accident to UPS saying the package is too big.

The eBay and PayPal clock is 45 days from purchase and I'm fast approaching 30. But I know that all PayPal can do is lock his account and give me what balance he has in his fund and all eBay can do is cancel his account. So, I have very little recourse at all.

Not sure why I posted all that ... but it makes me feel better.

And I filed a "Not Delivered" resolution claim today with eBay and PayPal.

Update ...

The seller never responded to Paypal's request for input and they found in my favor on Monday, the 2nd. Unfortunately, there were no funds in the guy's account to transfer to my account. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) They went on to say they would monitor his account and do the "best that they could" in getting my funds returned.

So, I went back to eBay. I had contacted their customer service on the 12th, asking what would be considered enough time before filing a complaint. Their response was for me to be patient.

So, another week and a half goes by and I finally file a complaint with Paypal on the 23rd.

Armed with the eBay response, I sent another note to eBay CS yesterday morning and proceeded to accuse eBay of harboring the theif and giving him and others like him a safe and fertile ground in which to prey upon their victims with little or no consequences. I ranted on about how their "Buyer Protection" was a false sense of security and bordered on false advertising. I laid it on pretty thick.

Late yesterday, the full purchase/shipping amount was "reversed" into my Paypal account.
