    It's probably least confusing if you work each one out in a cell on the spreadsheet then add them on in another cell. So...

    For the Paypal fees (easy!) you just want the formula "=0.2+TOTAL*0.034", where total is a cell ref to the final value in £.

    The Ebay FVFs are a bit trickier. You will need to use some nested "if" statements... "=If(TOTAL<30, TOTAL*0.0525, If(TOTAL<600, 1.575+(TOTAL-30)*0.0325, 20.1+(TOTAL-600)*0.0175))"

    Hopefully you can see what I've done there. The if statement works like: If(TEST, DO THIS, ELSE DO THAT), so you can link them together for more than two options. The 1.575 is the total fees payable on the first £30 and the 20.1 is the total fees payable on the first £600 (if you ever get that high!)

    The listing fee will be in the same style as the FVF, but with more entries, so I'll leave you to ponder that! :eek:, eh!
