You are charged a percentage of the listing, plus surcharges for any extras you want, such as setting a reserve price, having more than 1 photo of the item, etc.

You will pay a LISTING FEE,how much IT'S A PERCENTAGE of what you put for a starting price plus if you put a RESERVE PRICE on the auction there is a extra fee for that and should your item/items sell you will pay a FINAL VALUE FEE it's a PERCENTAGE of what it sold for,should your item not sell all you pay is the LISTING FEE.BEWARE of starting your auction at a low STARTING PRICE as most buyers will always try to pay as little as possible for what they buy. ALSO EBAY REQUIRES THAT YOU PROVIDE THEM WITH A MAJOR CREDIT CARD TO OPEN YOUR ACCOUNT AND THEY CHARGE ALL THEIR FEES TO THAT CARD. A better way to sell things and you can direct what you are selling to your specific area is CRAIGSLIST www.craigslist.com CRAIGSLIST does not charge you anything to sell your items and being that your listing is directed to the city/area that you live in you don't have to deal with waiting for your money of shipping what you are selling as most buyers will pick up what they bought directly from you,personally I meet them at a public place like a mall or large stores parking lot and I insist that they PAY CASH

There are several fees depending on the amount your item sells for, whether you have a picture, set a reserve, and several other options. Go to Ebay's site and check it out. There should be a link there that goes through everything.

there's a listing fee, and then you pay like 1% of the final selling price. It tells you the exact price you'll have to pay when you set up your auction

They charge you by how much you start the bidding at and certain percentage when you sell. Check out their fees schedule.

It will cost a small fee to list it, depending on where you start the price. (Ex. if you start at .01 it will cost less than if you start it at 55.00) Plus a percentage of what it goes for.

It shouldn't cost you anything. Not unless you choose to pay the shipping, otherwise the buyer pays that.
