I collect German beer glasses and have bid on a few from eBay Germany. I have noticed that lots of sellers there pass on the eBay fees to the buyers. They even state this in their auctions. Putting * buyer pays eBay fees*( but in German ) in description search, I came up with thousands of auctions with this passing on eBay fees. How do they get away with this or do they have different rules?

Yes, their rules are different.

Their laws are different (for example, credit card surcharges), so their rules on Ebay are not the same.







Edited for spelling

...do they have different rules?

Do a search to see the bidding patterns of a US buyer and then do a search to see the bidding patterns of a Germany buyer. One you can see and the other isn't displayed.

Yes there are different rules.

And we can't show swastikas either.

Even though it is an American Indian symbol.

capotasto LOL !!!!! Does any body know where on the U.S. eBay TOS it says we can't pass on fees to the buyer? I want to compare this to the German TOS.

Scroll down to the section on surcharges.
