Can someone explain why the import fees are different in 2 these two screen shots?

Hi all members,

 

I bid on this item, and see no import charges when I click "Confirmed" (screen shot #1). However, a different import charge appears in the screen shot #2. Can anyone venture an explanation as to why there are 2 different import charges? Do I get taken for a ride here?

Thanks,

/Quelec

It looks like the first GSP estimate is based on zero since there are no bids.

The second GSP estimate appears to be be based you winning at your full bid.

 

GSP and auctions are a real pain since the selling price is not fixed until the end of the auction.

 

 

Check to see what it says in the Shipping and payments section for the listing.

 

eBay has been experimenting in how it displays GSP info (just to see which way confuses buyers most).

 

Also consider correcting your maximum bid downward.

 

How to retract a bid

If there are 12 or more hours remaining on an auction, you may be able to retract your bid in the following situations:

  • You made a mistake when you placed your bid, such as entering $50 instead of $5
  • The item description changed significantly after you placed your bid
