Gotcha! Maybe it came from international seller? Yeah mine so far have had eBay authenticity so I felt more comfortable…dunno how I’d feel without it when they can send an unlimited Caterpie and we wouldn’t know for weeks lol
Just to add some more data from my experience so far, some of my stuff is live in auction now.
I was wondering why my seller net was lower than the bid amount (that bid amount does not include BP) despite every piece of documentation constantly advertising zero seller fees. Then I found this in the corner of their fee structure chart:
What this seems to mean is that they take $3 no matter what, and if the BP doesn’t get to the point of being $3 or more, the $3 comes out of what you get. I find it a little contradictory that the chart says you receive 100% of hammer price at $5-$49, yet you clearly don’t because the item needs to be $15 for the BP to cover the $3 that they take.
For the record, I understand that this only really impacts garbage items under $15, I just feel like it’s a little disingenuous to claim zero seller fees as well as state 100% of hammer price at $5 when that’s clearly not the case.
Just to update my previous post, it seems that $13 is the breakeven point where the seller payout equals what they bid. I guess this is due to the way they round.
