A few weeks ago ebay sent me an invoice for sellers fees of £13.71. I was going to pay this when I got paid. However, I then got another invoice sent to me last week requesting fees of £45. How could this has just gone up in a week when I hadnt sold anything extra? I have contacted ebay about it and they havent been any help. They just said that they've looked at my account and can see that I do owe £45 and to pay this asap.
I dont really want to pay this as I dont believe I owe this much. So I am planning on leaving it unpaid and closing my account. Firstly, will ebay pass every case onto a debt collection agency? And secondly, if I leave these fees unpaid, will interest be added onto them?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks x
do you reckon it's a good idea to just leave the fees unpaid?
 
make sure its not a fake email lots of them going round check your ebay account don't just go by the email.
 
Give best answer to Miss Glam, she nailed something I totally forgot about. Any EMAIL invoice from eBay is probably fraudulent. They're trying to make you freak out, click on the link in the email, which will go to a fake site that looks like eBay, and you'll type your email/password and BOOM they'll have it, and hack your account. NEVER click on a link in email, no matter how sure you are about who sent it. Email is a complete security disaster, it was designed for use within the US military and universities, they never designed it for the public internet and it has nothing in it to protect from abuse.


Assuming it's a POSTAL mail invoice...

Read the invoices closely, they'll tell you exactly what they're for. That's what invoices are for. You can also try looking online at transactions on your account, every charge will be accounted for.

Talking to eBay is probably a lost cause, since they don't provide good customer service in the first place, they expect you to help yourself, and no offense but it doesn't sound like you're too good at working this stuff out for yourself. So get better :)

The invoices you got will probably list a "due date". You should pay so they get it by the due date. If you don't, they can slap on extra fees, which may be what happened.
