It would be nice to get that much if it wasn't a joke
People are totally doing it for the laughs
Woo!:) just had a bid on mine £7000!:)
Yup he's right, your wrong. If you sell something but someone doesn't pay then eBay refunds the fee. But if the dispute goes on for a while then you may find your eBay account limited for a short while as they will see it as you not paying fees until the case is settled.
The fees will be set on your account then after 2 days you can go to resolution center and dispute the sale, and eventually get final value fee credited
2 days after the listing ended you can open unpaid item case
4 days after you opened the unpaid item (6 days after listing ended) you can close that case if the buyer doesn't pay (ebay contacts the buyer when you open the case, they have 4 days to pay it)
So after 6 days you request a final value fee credit.
eBay I believe does the fees monthly (afaik), so you have a month to pay outstanding fees (afaik), so it wouldn't limit your account unless you left it to last minute to open a case then last minute to close it.
So you'd get credited the final value fee, or second chance offer to another bidder, or relist item for free.
The buyer however will have been recorded for an unpaid item which could lead to limits or loss of buying privileges on the buyers behalf, but wouldn't effect the seller.
So long story short, he's wrong as they don't have to pay the 10% and will get it refunded 100% so sure as hell ain't putting anyone in debt by having a laugh.
(idk if you're saying I'm wrong or if you're agreeing with me, but either way thought I'd state why I'm right)
I bidded on the one that was going for 5mil, the listing was deleted though. :(
can someone explain to me the reason why they're going for so much, i rly don't understand.
