So I sold an item on eBay last night, and it sold fairly quickly. The payment came about a minute later. Shortly after this, I received a message saying it was an unauthorised transaction and that the listing had been taken down. This was new for me so I went into PayPal to look at the case, went on and issued a full refund. I’d noticed underneath it stated that the product wasn’t as described, but I hadn’t sent the item by this point. When I looked at it this morning, it said the refund had been completed and the case closed, but I have to pay for the fees that I would have paid for selling the item. Why is it that I pay the fees for the sale when the money was refunded in full and I hadn’t even sent the item?
