ebay: i won two of the same thing i wanted

[Nocturnal]

i won two impact wrenches

i didnt think i would win the brand new one for $250.00. weird, huh?

would it be BAD for me if i asked if i could pay their relisting fee for them to relist the item?

i KNOW i shouldnt have bid on both if i did not want them both, but i thought these things are well sought after.

what should I do?

Just a suggestion: If they take paypal, send the relisting fee amount plus a few dollars extra for compensation on wasting their time. Just send it, don't only say you're going to; people who say this to me never end up sending anything over so I won't believe them anymore.

do you know how much a relisting fee on a $200.00 item might be?

im thinking around $5.00? so i would send him probably like $8.00 for his troubles?

First, you need to know what the opening bid was. If <$10 then it's 35 cents, <$25 55 cents and I forgot what it is beyond that but it increments up a dollar to a max of $3.30 I believe. That's the listing fee.

The closing fee is 5.25% of the first $25 and 2.75% for the price between $25 and $1000.

I don't think $5 would cover it. Listing + final value fees would probably be around $10. If I were the seller, I'd still be pissed if you gave me $15. Were there any other bids besides yours?
