Insertion fees on ebay query

I am a private seller and thought i got a certain amount of insertion fees for free in a month. I sold 7 items in Feb but each one incurred a 35p insertion fee according to my latest statement. Could it be because I schedule the auction start time - at another cost of 6p a time? Also when I list an item it always asks me to confirm the listing 'and above fees' - but I can never see where these fees are displayed. I am using a windows 10 laptop and the ebay website when listing items for sale.
Many thanks

    The fees should display right above the submit listing button when viewed on a desktop. 

    Schedule fees are Free for your first 1,000 (or 1,100 for private sellers with a Basic Shop) listings per month (excluding Property and Classified Ads). After that, 6p per listing

    If your listings are 1 or 3 days they appear to charge 35p for this if that could be the reason?

    this could well be it, as i did limit the auctions to 3 days. not very transparent when listing it (surprise surprise)
    many thanks.

    I just tried making a three day listing on the app and it clearly started £0.35 listing fee.

    Also remember there is an insertion fee if you have Auction (even if it is for 10 days) with BIN on the same listing.  I think it is 50p.
