You can read eBay's fees for private selelrs here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/fees-credits-invoices/fees-private-sellers?id=4364&st=12&pos=1&q...

In future, many simple questions like this can be answered just by going to Help & Contact at top of page, and entering keywords (e.g. fees) in the search field.

Paypal charges 2.9% (3.4% for overseas payments) of the total selling price including postage, plus 30p.

A good rule of thumb is to allow about 15% of the price the buyer pays as fees - more if you use optional, paid for listing features.

By the way, do you realise that if an item is lost or damaged in the post you will be required to refund them in full? Unless you're happy to accept the risk, you need to use Royal Mail special delivery to get postal insurance for an item of that value.

Be aware that for seller protection you need to upload the tracking number before the latest estimated deliver date. For how to do this, see: https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/posting-items/tracking-items-youve-sold?id=4088

If you don't, eBay is liable to automatically enforce a refund if the buyer claims not to have received it. We recently heard of a buyer who claimed a refund for a £1,000+ just two hours after the estimated delivery date. If eBay doesn't have the tracking number when the claim is opened, it may be too late to provide it later.

Be careful, eBay is a very risky place to sell anything of value. Even following the rules to the letter won't protect you against several, easy scams.
