so i got an invoice,and like the idiot i am i ignored it for a few days (im broke).today i get a suspention (fair enough) and my bill has doubled.

im a bit Hmm at the first bill anyway,as i think its pretty high for what ive sold.but doubled is insane.anyone know why its so high? what the hell have i done!

I have no idea. My fees come straight out of paypal balance or bank if nothing in paypal.
I would contact Ebay because double the fees is madness.

It depends on what price your listings started at, how many pictures you used per listing, whether you used any special features.

I tend to start mine at 99p (free), only add one picture (free) and have no extras so only pay the final values fee which is 10% of the final value.

£73 does sound very high and I'm not sure why it would have doubled overnight. Have you looked at the breakdown of fees on your account?

Mine was £21 which I was a bit shocked about as I mainly did 99p listings.
I don't really understand the final value fees but I think that's what makes it more expensive.

YOu can add extra photos for free to a listing by using Photobucket and using the html in the body of your listing.

YOu would have sold in excess of £700 depending on the category.

or just 'copy' the picture then 'paste' it onto your listing.
