Fees If Reserve Is Not Met

I have my car up for sale at the moment, which I have put a reserve on. If it has bids, but does not meet the reserve , do I have to pay a final value fee ? I couldn't find the answer on Ebay , so wondered if anyone could help - many thanks!

    If the car doesn't sell you will have to pay the listing fees plus all additions though. It is only the FVFs that you don't pay.
