Dear sellers, We have sold some items on ebay and ebay is not able resolve our problem and they are taking too long. We first reported this to ebay on Feb 14, 2012 and still i.e om Mar 13, 2012 the answer is pending. Its about ebay final value fee.They have charged us a different fee(i.e 5%) compared to whats written in the ebay fee chart (i.e 2%). Not sure how to resolve it and what is the Ebay escalation procedure and problem resolution timeline. Please suggest and share your views.
Below is the latest chat that I had with customer support and the supervisor and still I am waiting for the call from ebay( where is 7:30 pm promise )
Dhanashree B Hello, Welcome to eBay Live Help. My name is Dhanashree. How may I assist you today? shoppers_paradise4u Hi,

Please allow me a moment while I check details from my end.
shoppers_paradise4u ok
Dhanashree B Can yu confirm what are the charges you ahve been charged?
Dhanashree B *have.
shoppers_paradise4u The items are listed in Consumer Electronics-> Electronic Gadgets ->Other Electronic Gadgets category. The items are voltage converters of 20 and 50 watt which are not "TV Accessories" so I assume the fee should be 2% however they have been charged 5%.
shoppers_paradise4u Last time I called ebay the customer support told me that the extra fee will be credited in the next invoice however, I do not see any credit in my invoice

When you start selling on ebay India just think that you are playing "Russian Roulette". If things go smoothly then it is fine, if you have some problems then just shoot yourself rather than suffer.
You seem to have high expectations from ebay India, like "escalation matrix" and "timelines to resolve issues"..........LOL.
Get real, nothing of that sort exists here and nothing will happen here, so sell at you own risk and never expect any help from ebay India.
.....just my two bit worth of info after being on ebay for 13 yrs now.
PS: I KNOW THAT MY THIS REPLY WILL ALSO BE DELETED BY EBAY SO READ IT QUICK.
