For the final value fee, 10% by the looks of it.

Does it not show the costs in your seller options in my ebay?

Listing fee £1 + 10% of price.

eBay fees due can be found by logging in, going to the summary page and clicking the Account tab, or this link might work if I haven't messed it up. PayPal will have already taken their cut, and you can see how much by checking the details of the transaction when you log into PayPal.

Usually it's:

• 10% of the winning bid to eBay
• 3.4% of the total paid (inc p&p) +20p to Paypal
• Listing fees (normally either free or just a few pence)

so roughly,10% of 66£ (6.60)
about £3 paypal fees

and listing fee ,
so roughly 11 £ would cover it ?so if i give him 55£ that will b in the ballpark?

Yeah, £55 sounds about right. Although if I was selling for someone else I'd be deducting my beer money too!

'generous'? You undersell yourself. If you offer him 55, he should be bloody grateful, never mind generous. You'll have made exactly naff all, for all that effort - where's the 'generosity'?

Yeah i forgot to check fees and had a nice 30 quid bill at the end off the month which was around the 10% mark
