    For a private seller, not making use of any offers,
    Total eBay + Paypal fees = (0.134 x total selling price, £) + 0.20

    That's Paypal's fee and that assumes a standard account rate.

    Ebay fees for final value charges will also be added - in most categories are 10%.

    Ebay bill you the fees. Paypal take them from source.

    No, it includes eBay's fee (to only calculate paypal's, replace 0.134 with 0.034 in the calculation).

    You're right that they are taken at different points and times, but for many, having a total overall amount taken for fees is sufficient knowledge.

    For private sellers, I believe FVF is a flat 10% in all categories if you're not making use of an offer.

    Apologies, I read that as .034 must get a bigger phone!
