When you sell on eBay, you use the facility of two separate Companies, so there are two sets of fees to pay.

The first amount you see deducted are PayPal’s fees of 2.9% plus 30p per transaction. This is for their services in processing that payment for you.

Then, you receive a monthly invoice from eBay, for 10% on all monies received from sales, this is for using their worldwide site to sell from.

You could do what most sellers do, that is, calculate all these fees, and add them to your starting price, so in effect the buyer pays, and you are not out of pocket.

There are expensive optional listing upgrades you can use.  

Here is a list of the more common listing upgrades you can select, and they all have non-refundable fees, so payable sale or no sale.

A reserve will cost 4% of your set reserve.

Adding a Buy it Now to an auction listing, costs 50p.
