I suspect your case is probably unusual (though that doesn't make it any
better for you), and unfortunately there may be a significant number using
(and abusing) the system to their advantage. I can understand why they've
had to implement this. I think (unless I've got it wrong) that there is a
£75 maximum final fee.......
It grates a bit when you see an ad where the seller is obviously getting
around the fees and just using it as a free advert service - eg a car for
1p, and when you read the ad they say if you bid you'll get a dustcap, but
please come around and see my car and buy it!!!! Unfortunately Ebay don't
seem to notice these? or do they get rid of a lot we don't see?

Always the way with ebay
They try to amend processes with ways to line their pockets
What if you do genuinely have your car nicked when up for sale?
About 6 years ago I was unlucky enough to crash a car that I had for
sale on ebay with about 3 days to go and bids up to £1200 (I can laugh
about it now ….. just) consequently I had to cancel the auction and
call the scrap man,
so in this instance I would be £120 out of pocket to add insult to
injury?
Hmm,

From another forum I’m on, it now seems that if you cancel and end an
auction that has bids on it you will now be charged a final value fee
based on the highest bid received.
I guess this is to close the loophole where people list an item and then
negotiate the sale off Ebay, then cancel any bids and end the auction.
