News iconMore Ebay Issues

This News article was posted by Brekkee at 04:26 PM on January 14, 2005

Ebay has pulled any existing GamersCharity auctions because of the disclaimer Joe put in there about the 5% that does not go to charity that will cover his ebay fees.

You violated eBay's User Agreement by attempting to pass on to your winning bidders the fees associated with listing an item with eBay.

The following text is inconsistent with our User Agreement:

"The remaining 5 percent is to cover Ebay listing fees and paypal processing fees"

This is a violation of section 2 of the eBay User Agreement, which states, in part:

"Joining and bidding on items at eBay is free...You are responsible for paying all
fees associated with using our service and our website and all applicable taxes."
