sellers fees

I have an email from ebay saying I owe them sellers fees. Does one still have to pay seller fees even if the item didn't sell ?

Clarification appreciated.

    Unfortunately even if an item does not sell the listing fees plus all upgrades still have to be paid.

    You still pay listing fees as stated when you started the auction whether the item sells or not, unfortunately.

    Edit: Soolin beat me to it! ;)
