While I don't want to sell….  If anyone is interested I am willing to part with my size 30 Roy peanut pants.  I'll sell to you cheap....  $20K.  The recent eBay auction ended around $30K so this would be a steep discount!

^probably peanuts to some one out there.. 

is this for real? 30k?!?

[browniemcghee]

Whoa.  I can't wrap my head around that.

It was a joke, Roy posted on his Instagram that highest bidder got the pair for free.

Hope he managed to avoid the Seller Fees or it would be one hell of an expensive publicity stunt.

So who pays what eBay charges?

With a usual Business Shop the Seller has to pay 10% comission.

Even if the sale does not actually go through?  Roy is in for $1,000's if that's the case….

Technicly it went through, if it ended normal ebay sees the Auction as done, paying and everthing else is more or less the Sellers Problem if the Buyer doesn´t use Paypal. The Seller has 45 Days to Cancel the Auction after the End, if everything goes through he Receives the Comission back as far as i know but ebay will usually Rank him down to Hell for doing something like that.

Thank @Steffen

Roy can also ask the winner to agree to a transaction cancellation and he won't be charged with the commission. I'm sure the winner will accept his offer :).

The Buyer could cancel without consequenses, if the Seller cancels ebay always sees it as the Sellers fault as far as i know but I didn´t use Ebay for quite some time.

The Ebay thing aside, there are nicer Ways to give away a Free Pair of Jeans in General.

It got a shit load of attention though…..

[UnTucked]

[Steffen]

Yes but what kind of Attention, puked on the Table at a Party or saved a Kitten from a Tree, I tend to think in this case it is more the First Option.

[BloodnThunder]

No press is bad press I suppose.
