I'm just wanting to see if this has happend to you too, right, I've been selling stuff on eBay for about a month now, made about , £100 in 4x4 parts, but now mum's PayPal account has had over £40 pulled out of it by "eBay Europe sarl", just want to know if this has happened to you as well, as I only thought eBay/paypal just taken a certain percentage of the money from a item you've sold, eg, I sell a speaker for £5, eBay/paypal will take £0.90p, it seems that they charge you for a insertion fee, even If you don't sell an item, you will still get charged for an item that's listed but not selling. Has This ever happened to you? They also say they will take about £21 off at the end of this month, could this be a scam or someone's hacked into it?
