    Full amount has gone to Paypal, how do Ebay get their cut?

    You pay listing fees I think, I am just trying to work out how much I made on my item, it went for £90 I thought it was worth about £30 so I am a happy bunny.

    Edited to add: Look in the seller account bit it lists the fees that you pay!

    Here is a list of the fees hope it helps... blind leading the blind here LOL

    Al, you'll get an invoice from e-Bay for your fees. You can check if you look at your selling account.

    What I normally do is when my sales have finished, I check what I owe and then just pay it straight away by Paypal. Then withdraw the rest to my bank account.

    Saves thinking 'wooo hooo', withdrawing the lot, then thinking 'ah bummer' when e-Bay want their cut :)
