I have recieved a letter from a debt collection agency on behalf of ebay threatening me with court proceedings for not paying listing fees of £30...the reason for not paying is not the point here...but can they really take me to court? apparantly i will get a court judgment and will affect my credit score.. is this just a threat to get payment or can they do this?

Yes they can I got the same thing once and paid immediatly eBay is A MULTINATIONAL Company with billions of pounds in profits and has all legal proceedings that enable them to get hold of debtors. They have a ballif system and they will chase up people who are owing them debt in terms of financial assets they are a very painfull comapny to deal with but have enourmous resouces to ctach evaders same as the tax system.
Either you will have to pay them or even if you get away from them for a month or so they have a sophisticated computer system which will keep you on their records if you do not pay up when the ballifs come after you sooner or later you will.
eBay have a legal binding contract with you please Read their fees policy carefully
http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/fees.html
I have provided you the link
ALSO READ A KEY NOTICE ABOUT THEIR FEES
A Note About eBay Fees
In the event your seller account is suspended for any reason, any amounts due on your Seller account will immediately become due and payable. eBay reserves the right to immediately charge any amounts you have not previously disputed to the billing method that you are using.
Fees pay for the right to sell on eBay. There are times when your listing may not appear when using a keyword or category search until several hours after you have created it. Therefore, eBay cannot guarantee exact listing durations.Sellers do not purchase exclusive rights to Web pages on eBay. We may, in our sole discretion, and without your consent or payment to you, place third-party advertisements on any Web page within our site.
Insertion fees and optional feature fees are charged at the time of listing and are non-refundable.
eBay requires payment in full each month on accounts with balances of £1.00 or greater. eBay may suspend your account for non-payment of eBay fees. If you have not paid your outstanding eBay fees after our reminders and warnings, eBay reserves the right to refer your account to an outside collection agency for collection of the outstanding eBay fees. Please note that the collection agency will also charge you a proportionate and reasonable fee for the collection of the unpaid eBay fees, which will vary according to the amount owed and which will be payable in addition to the outstanding eBay fees.
PLEASE DO NOT THINK THAT THE DEBT AGENCIES WILL NOT FOLLOW YOU UP I DID THE SAME THING AND THEY GOT ME. EBAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO GET BALLIFS TO YOUR RESIDENTIAL PROPERT AND SELL OF YOUR ASSETS TO MAKE UP FOR THE OUTSTANDING DEBT. ALSO THEY HAVE ALL THE LEGAL POWERS TO TAKE YOU TO COURT DO NOT FORGET ONCE YOU SIGNED ON TO EBAY YOU AGREED TO THEIR TERMS AND CONDITIONS ON THE LAST RESORT THEY WILL TAKE YOU TO COURT AND WIN ALSO YOU WILL BE MADE TO PAY FOR THE DEBT AND THE LEGAL FEES THATS LIFE THANK YOU

If they listed for you and you didn't pay they can and will take you to court and they will be granted a judgment. You'll end up paying them as well as all court cost.

I've been browsing the web more than 2 hours today seeking the answer to the same question, and I haven't found any interesting discussion like this. it's pretty worth enough for me.

I don't think so, for £30.00??
Imagine how much of legal fees they will spend to go to court..... It's not worth it.
But they can screw up your credit score.
Please pay it and avoid future headache. It's just £30.00!!!!
