Ebid platinum, getting billed for FVF

[QCPOTS]

We will change " Zero Final Value Fee" to "Option of Zero Final Value Fee"

Gazza

nice one Gazza, like the idea,

but in the mean time,???? is it free, or not free,

is my invoice right, or not right,

when I see a TV advert from an airline company which says
FLY TO MALTA one way £9.00

that what I expect,



so I think this whole free to list free to sell, needs looking at,

and BOLDLY say there will be charges for, ( whatever )


still fond of Ebid.

You do? Airlines seem to me to be the worst possible example for you to quote as there is always an asterisk and in very, very tiny print it says something like "not inclusive of airport taxes, government taxes, fuel surcharges...etc, etc, etc." An industry less WYSIWYG than the airline industry is difficult to think of.

If you want I will explain in words of 1 syllable if that will help???

My invoice today stated - 1 July - 31 July 2007

27 Jul 20:32 (GMT) ... Final Value Fee ... -0.72

Total Debits during period : £ 0.72
Total Credits during period : £ 0.00
Total Due for this period : £ 0.72
Of which VAT @ 17.5% : £ 0.11



I am fully aware that the £0.72 is for the gallery fee i.e. 2% of the selling price of £36.



36 x .02 = 0.72


Basic maths. Perhaps you need to get a calculator now as well as a spell checker???? Although it does say FVF, it obviously means FVF + any other charges such as gallery pictures etc.

Therefore by my book - charge for gallery = £0.72 FVF = £0.00, total to pay = £0.72. If I had not had the gallery picture my FVF would have been £0.00 (nowt to you)


Unfortunately it is all added together and called FVF, which theoretically is incorrect, perhaps Final Auction Fee ought to be more appropriate. But it would appear the majority of people understand what is meant anyway.


Just take everyone's advice and read what you are getting into before engaging brain.

By the way, well done on the sales, its a pity selling makes you so grumpy.


I've NOWT (nothing) more to say.

still getting sh*ty then, please try really hard to avoid replies
to my threads,

Hi Madelaine, late for you to join in,but welcome,

not inclusive of airport taxes, government taxes,

do they say this on the tv advert, NO

and like ebid announces free to list free to sell, no FVF


is it right that I should suspect this as its not true,

NO I take it at face value,

its a problem in the wording, but it is misleading,

I dont mind paying the charges, theres nothing to match Ebid,

but I like clear openness in the boasting,

I should imagine theres a few been encouraged to leave ebay and come here, because its free of FVFs,

BUT Gassa has been in, and there are changes to be made,

which will sort it ????

Have you got a passport ? and Who do I send the £9.00 to......?


With regard to replying to your threads, I thought this was a public forum for Ebidders to join in, what right have you to use offensive words to me and expect me to to avoid replying to your threads. There are a few comments on here about your nastiness, before I even added a post, so I cannot see that it is just me you have a problem with. I even congratulated you on the number of sales this month, but obviously you cannot cope with people being nice to you.

I've had my say on this thread, I am pleased that Gazza and Mark are going to make a change to accomodate you and your request. Perhaps they should add a few pictures to make sure you dont get too confused in the future.

Bye for now see you on another thread.

eBid is free to list. Let us know if we still state anywhere on the site it is free to sell and we will make changes.

Thanks

Gazza, considering if your a platinum seller, and you have the "option" for a free auction, which means, it is free if you sell, because the FVF is zero, then technically it is still free to sell

I think some people such as KPnuts, just dont read things before they click

You would have to pay for a platinum subscription though... Thats' why we don't say its free to sell.

You can argue the point either way really but we don't want to be seen as sneeky.

I don't think the current situation can be seen as sneaky and agree with manstomar.
