The buyer pays.
The seller. The seller is shipping it to the buyer, not vice versa.
Unless the buyer is fortunate to purchase an item where the seller has listed it as FREE shipping, the buyer pays the specific shipping costs for that item. A lot of the time the seller will give the buyer a choice of 2 or more shipping methods and/or carriers. I hope that helps!

If it doesn't sell, the seller can choose to relist it. If it sells, the buyer pays the seller, and then the seller ships the item.
FOB (Freight On Board) Destination and FOB Shipping specifies whether the buyer or seller owns the goods, and therefore, who pays for the shipping and includes the items in their inventory. FOB Destination means that the seller owns the goods until the buyer receives them. Therefore, the seller pays the shipping costs. FOB Shipping means that the buyer owns the goods once they are shipped. Therefore, the buyer pays the shipping costs.

Generally the buyer pays closing costs. Some closing costs legally MUST be paid by the buyer. However, the seller could offer to pay some costs if they want to, or the buyer could ask the seller to pay some of the closing costs. Ultimately the seller has to decide how badly they want to make the sale.
If someone place a bid on the item and there was no reserve (or the winning bid is passed the reserve), the buyer pays for the item. The seller then posts the item or sometimes the buyer collects the item. Then both the seller & the buyer can leave feedback.
