Above is teh auction. This woman won it and then says she gave birth 3 weeks early so she was caught up with birth and forgot to pay. Then when she contated me she siad she would pay the following Thuresday. Well I don't think it will suprize you to hear she didn't pay. Then she said he DH left her and she was onabout to pay me for 2 weeks and she understood if I left - feedback and relisted. I told her I would relist but that it sounded as tho she were haveing a tough time of it and would leave her nutral FB. So I do as I said I would, come to find out that she has been able to pay for other auctions then and since. Oh well, I guess I just learned a valuable lession. So, to make a long story short,( TOO LATE) I was charged by E-bay for the sale of this auction and now I want to relist it but don't know how to do it. It won;t let me directly relist it. What do I do? I tried calling e-bay but as they keep hours that are shorter then a bank they are closed. Got any advise??

TIA

I think you have to file a nonpaying bidder report to get your fees back. I've only had to do that once so far. It has to be 10 days after the sale I think. You should be able to get your fees back that way.

Check out this link

report an unpaid item dispute (http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?CreateDispute)

you may just be able to request to have your fees refunded.

Good luck !
