Yes, there is a listing fee, an image hosting fee, a final value fee, Paypal fee (if you accept Paypal payments), and shipping costs, although you can charge those to the buyer. There are fees for added enhancements like bold titles, 10 day listings, gallery etc. It can add up, so it's wise to cover yourself by adding a dollar or two to your shipping as a handling charge, and show it as a flat fee up front. Good luck! Ebay can be fun.

there is a Sellers fee you pay to Ebay. I believe it depends on the value of what you are selling. I would look on Ebay's site where it talks about selling items, any fees should be spelled out there.
My parents put their business equipment on Ebay when they retired and they had to pay 300 dollars as a seller's fee.
Also if you want pictures, or a box around it or add additional "key words" for people to search by, that also is additional in cost.

Yes, there is a small (like 30 cents) listing fee, a final value fee assessed on the selling price of the auction, and stuff like that. I sell all the time and am familiar with the site. If you sell something small, like $25 you should expect to pay around $2 in charges and fees.

You are charged a sellers fee which is based on how many upgrades you choose And then you are charged a final value fee if your item sells
