For every item sold, eBay takes a percentage of the sales price. It's how they make money. The final value fee is eBay's cut of every sale.

How does eBay charge you?

No, there are no trick, or hidden, fees to using eBay but you do need to know where to look to be certain of what you will be charged. There is no charge whatsoever for using eBay as a buyer only. As a seller you will incur insertion fees, upgrade fees and final value fees. There are also subscription services you can select to use, such as subscribing to an eBay Store, using Selling Manager Pro, etc, and you will be charged a recurring monthly fee for these. If you accept payment through PayPal - and it is almost certain that you will have to do that - you also have to pay them a fee as well. All sites have different fees, based on the local currency, and they are liable to change at any time so it is not possible to give a precise reply here on WikiAnswers. So you should go to the help section on the eBay site where you intend to create your listings and search for "fees" to find the most up to date information.
