how on earth is it a scam?

you used ebay to sell things so you have to pay the fees for doing so

it said 'free to list'  listing isn't the same as selling

Only the insertion of the basic listing is free

when the item sells you are charged a 10% final value fee on the item price and the P&P paid

Also, if you add extras to your basic listings, such as buy it now, a reserve, a subtitle, or gallery plus you will incur fees which are payable even if the item doesn't sell. These fees are shown on the listing form, before you click 'list with displayed fees'

if you list during an 'offer' the offer is only valid for the first listing cycle, when the item auto relists the fees revert to the normal 10%

go to:-

my ebay >>> account tab >>> seller account >>> invoices

to see a break down of the ebay fees you have been charged.
