They charge 12.55% of your sale. They also charge 12.55% for the tax the buyer pays for your item. If you sell something for $280.00, you get $35.14 taken out, and that doesn't even begin to include the shipping you'll be paying if you're paying the shipping as the seller. I think 12.55% is quite high for something that isn't even theirs (eBay). But I guess they do it and don't care because they know people will still use it. EBay isn't trying to make alot of moneyoff your items,theyre doing it!
