Selling fees

[1313ecarroll]

I have recently sold items on eBay but when I look k at them the difference between the selling cost and what I got was nearly a 3rd less then i received another invoice from eBay for selling. After post and packing paid for I have received only one third of selling price and that does not include petrol to go to the post office. Is this usual

The money that is taken straight away is paypals fee for processing the payment,

ebay invoice for their fees after the sale.

Paypal charge 3.4% (3.9% for overseas payments) plus 20p

ebay charge 10% of the total - item price plus P&P, as well as any listing fees you may have incurred
