<p>[QUOTE="vision, post: 1509628, member: 2775"]So my auctions have ended about 2 weeks ago, and have already received/cleared all payments to my PayPal account. I am a bit confused on the fees for eBay and PayPal. I know that eBay charges about 9% in fees and about 2 or 3% with PayPal... but I have added up all the numbers and none of them match what is posted or adds up to the account balance. For example, there is a very slight (off by a few cents) difference in the eBay account balance versus what I have added up manually on the fees (for both the listing and shipping). On the PayPal side, from transferring funds from the winning bidders to my PayPal account, there seems to be a small chunk of money missing. So naturally I thought the money missing was from the automatic deduction of PayPal's fees (the money missing was no where near the eBay "final value" and/or shipping fees), but when I added up each of the transaction fees for PayPal, it did not match the money that was missing (the fees added up to more than what was missing)?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I have not received the "official" invoice for the eBay fees yet, so maybe that would clear some things up.
