Ebay now don't charge any fees for selling if you are a Private seller. What they have now decided to do is add "Buyer Protection" to anything you buy. I believe this is like Vinted (never used it so not 100% sure). So basically they have moved the fees from the seller to the buyer. I assume the price shown is the seller price plus the "buyer protection" added on making it look like an odd price. I guess they changed as they were losing items to Vinted.

Business sellers still pay the % fee, hence I do see quite a few business sellers selling as Private sellers.

Well, my 250 Kat only cost approximately one and half times the price of that seat when I got it ten yrs ago!! With that came a frame, engine, wheels and I can go on!!

My 400 was slightly more expensive in 2014 at £700, though it was also £150 to get it shipped down from Aberdeen to Norwich.
I have a goal to get my 250 registered with DVLA this year, after owning it 5 years (mind you that goal has been each year of the last 5 years as well!)

And I thought it was just me that didn’t get round to registering it after years of owning? ❤️
