Well as some of you may have read on the new passionford forum, i was thinking about buying a personal plate from eBay, well tonight i bit the bullet and had a bid.

In the item description it said £105 transfer fees to be paid by buyer, i have just been sent an invoice and the seller has added the £105 fees, is this right? i thought i paid the £105 to DVLA?

Cheers

 

is the plate on retention if it is then the sellers allready paid the fees

 

£105 is to put a plate onto retention, its 80 odd to transfer one

 

Nah it's not on retention i have to pay gouvernment transfer fees

 

he probly wants the money for the tranferation or to put it on retention aswell as the money for the plate

 

if his plates on a car he will need the full £105 to remove it from his car then put it on retention before transferring it over to you

perfectly normal

if he has it on retention already, he's just trying to make more money

 

a plate does not have to go onto retention it can be transfered from one to another

 

80 quid is to transfer from 1 vehicle to another the 25 is for the retention certificate which if your putting it straight on your car you dont need the certificate

 

Thanks for the replies, i have since paid the full £105 as he sells loads of plates on ebay and has 100% feedback, so will see what happens

 

hes ripped you off by 25 quid then m8
