Displayed price higher than entered price
Summary: jaromlle-0 asked why the displayed price of her item was higher than the entered price, even though both were listed in euros. perfect-sally pointed out that the 19% VAT could be a factor, since eBay collects it on digital items.
Hello everyone,
I listed an item for €60 as a buy-it-now, plus €8.18 shipping with age verification. Now, after waiting a few weeks, I noticed that the price apparently shown in the listing is €71.40 without shipping, and on the one hand I’m now less surprised by the few views, but on the other hand I’m very confused about how something like this can happen. Does anyone have an answer for me as to where this difference in price comes from? It was definitely listed in €, so a currency conversion can’t really be the reason...
Best regards and thanks in advance!
