  • ;)on ebay, when you make your listing, before you confirm it it will give you a total fee.
    buy it now is an extra 10p on top of auction. auctions starting at that price would be about 10p to start each one.
    they would charge you a small anount in correspondance with how much you sell it for. you would get sent an invoice at the end of every month with all your ebay bills added up.
    paypal charge a small fee for sending money, not recieving it, as far as im aware. it would not go staright to your card however. it would go into your paypal acount, which is like a bank account. you can then transfer the money into you bank account or onto your card.
    you can only transfer £500 a month from paypal to your bank account if you have a free paypal account, or its unlimited if you pay for paypal account.

    that was a bit long winded, so you may want to read it twice ;) lol.
    hope that helped.
    thanks, leigh.

    Just to clarify it is NOT the sender who pays the paypal fees it is the recipient.

    Other fees are here:

    Not quite- you don't have to pay, you just need to be verified.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    Selling at £2.50 + £1.50 postage on a buy it now you will pay 65p to eBay and 34p to PayPal per item if you only sell one. If you do multi item and sell 10 for example the fees will be 29p to eBay and 34p to PayPal.
