Energie Cottbus’ players will refund the entrance fee of their 600 fans who made the trip to Gelsenkirchen to watch their team lose 4-0 at Schalke 04, the Bundesliga club said last week.
“By refunding the cost of admission for their supporters, the red and whites would like to apologize for the pitiful performance which they displayed at the Veltins Arena,” explained the club in a press release entitled “Sorry.”
Roughly 600 fans traveled from Cottbus, in east Germany near the Polish border, on Friday night to Gelsenkirchen — a journey of some 610km — to see their team suffer their sixth defeat in their last seven league games.

德國甲級足球聯賽隊伍科特布斯隊上週表示，該隊以零比四輸給沙爾克04隊，球員將退票給當天到當天到蓋爾森基興看球賽的六百位球迷。
該球隊在一份標題為「抱歉」的新聞稿中解釋：「紅白代表色的科特布斯隊想藉由退入場費給支持球迷，為在菲爾廷斯球場的差勁表現道歉。」
上週五晚間，約有六百名球迷從德國東部靠近波蘭邊境的科特布斯前往蓋爾森基興，他們長途跋涉了約六百一十公里，結果卻看到球隊在最近七場比賽中第六度輸球。

科特布斯隊經理史提芬．海德利克說：「我們敗在沙爾克隊手下，但我們面對對手時非常畏縮。」（法新社╱翻譯：袁星塵）

The move means eBay’s UK sellers no longer have to pay transaction fees, except for cars, motorcycles and other vehicles. In April this year, eBay removed fees for private sellers of pre-owned clothes, and the company said it was “now evolving the experience even further.” The site said ditching seller fees for fashion had already led to a double-digit increase in listings for popular items such as jeans, shirts and dresses, while at
