Answer 1

It depends on which section you are selling in to what percentage you pay in fees.  For starting out this is a good website on how to list items:  http://ebayingtoearnmoney.blogspot.com/

Answer 4

all you should know is in this link, but its about 3% they take away for you. I just bought a xbox 360 for about $175, and they charged me 150. so not that much. here's the link..http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fvf.html

Answer 5

Around 3%

Answer 6

There's a table where you can see what percentage is going to be charged for the sale.

You'll see how much you'll be charged here:

For your example, if your listing sold for $100.00 that would be 8.75% for the first $25.00 and then add 3.50% for the remaining closing value. So that's:

.0875 * $25.00 = 2.19

plus

.035 * $75.00 = 2.63

which makes it:  $4.81

Well that's at least according to the table. If I calculated it correctly.. hehehe
