The final fee depends on whether you sold the item in an auction (9% fee up to $250 max for an item) or in a Buy It Now ([B]BIN[/B]) format (various fees depending on the final sell value). In brief, 11% on first $50, 6% on the amount over $50 but less than $1000, and 2% on the amount over $1000. Don't forget that most BIN listings also cost $0.50 up front for listing, whereas auctions are usually free for sellers that don't list more than 50 items per month. The break even point for auctions versus BIN is an item that sells for $100. If you list an item for auction and it sells for < $100 then you will net more than a BIN listing. If you list an item for more than $100 BIN, then you will net more than an auction that ends at > $100. The calculations are: Auction: 9% of $100 = $9 fees. BIN: 11% of first $50 ($5.50) + 6% of 2nd $50 ($3) + $0.50 listing fee = $9 PayPal fees are also straightforward and are described [URL="https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/paypal-fees"]here[/URL].[/QUOTE]
