I recently sold two guitars but the 12% Final Value Fees mean that I have undersold both items. Effectively, my experience has been that I got the money back for one and gave the other away! At the time I had free listings and thought I would get all the money paid by the buyer (as happened through Paypal). I think it is misleading to give free listings without making much clearer that ebay still charge a Final Value Fee on a sold item. I would like ebay to refund me some of the £98-odd they took as a gesture of good will.

Time to get the brain in gear! Listing an item for sale is not the same as selling it. It is free to list items, but not to sell them.
Incidentally, PayPal didn't send you the full amount the buyer paid. They deducted their fees first.
EBay's new scale of charges is actually marginally less than eBay and Paypal's former combined fees. But it's amazing how many sellers have discovered that they never even realised what they were paying!
