eBay final valuation fee!

So I log in to my eBay and notice the payments that I owe them.
One listing were I listed my clubcard vouchers on there.
Buy-It-Now Listing Fee £0.25
Insertion fee £1.00
Reserve price auction fee £1.60
Final Value fee £9.99

Could anybody tell me where the final value fee came from?

    You obviously sold something worth £100. Its as Alyssa says normally 10% its all there in the pricing structure.

    I'm afraid ebay don't allow us to use their platform out of love we have to pay for it down the line somewhere

    FVfs are dearer, listing fees much cheaper.

    I used to pay 35p to list an itme with a gallery pic at £4.99, the same thing now costs me 15p. My books would cost a fortune to list, now i pay 10p per insertion regardless of start price.

    The explanations are above and the fee structure is on the Ebay pages which they give you links to as you list.
    If there is an error you should contact Ebay.
    It looks as though you have listed more than one item as you have been charged for a buy it now and a reserve price in auction, so at least two listings there.

    You can have both, although why you'd want to i'm not at all sure.

    I've seen several auctions where I assume seller is made of money. 99p start price, Reserve (so at least £50) plus a BIN of £90.
