In my life i have used ebay,i purchased an item cost £3.65.I registered with ebay then paid with my debit card,it was a buy now item.I haven't set up a pay pal account yet and it said postage was free.So why when i checked my bank account has £4.65 gone out,is there a £1.00 charge for something.I know it only a quid but id like to know where its gone :-?

Yes, but not a £1.00, for such a small purchase... :) but there will also be pay pal charges, still seems ott to me though, given your original cost.. ::) Are you sure that this was not a p&p cost?

You pay a charge to use a debit card, that is why if you use a PAYPAL account there is no charge.
Using a Debit card for less than £5.00 invokes a £1.00 administration / handling fee when buying items on Ebay
If you have a Paypal account then they know it is a gaurnteed
payment and no charge will be incured even down to £0.01

I fell for that one 6 years ago when I started using Ebay, was only a week before I got Paypal.
There are loads of sites as well you can use Paypal, including gifting people money instantly to there paypal accounts..
Eg. If a member on here sell you something and they are going to post it out and they have a paypal account you can then send them the money instantly to there account by just putting in there email address into the Paypal payment box ;-)

I Buy on e-bay...I signed up for a PayPal account...costs nothing, and only ever pay the item price, with or without P&P. No hidden charges.
I only ever use the credit card with paypal, I never use a cash account or bank account with them, which they do ask you to sign up to, which makes you 'confirmed'.
Never had any problems so far and it makes paying a doddle :y

Not to buy.
The seller covers all the paypal charges.
You buy for £3 inc free post from china then £3 is all you pay. :y
