eBay generates revenue from a number of fees. There are fees to list a product and fees when the product sells. The eBay fee system is quite complex, and in the US based ebay.com, takes $0.20 to $80 per listing and 2-8% of the final price (as of 2006). The Swiss based ebay.co.uk(ebay.co.uk offices) takes from GBP £0.15 to a maximum rate of GBP £3 per 100 for an ordinary listing and from 0.75% to 5.25% of the final price. In addition, eBay now owns the PayPal payment system which has fees of its own.
Under current U.S. law, a state cannot require sellers located outside the state to collect a sales tax, making deals more attractive to buyers.
The company's current business strategy includes increasing revenue by increasing international trade within the eBay system. eBay has already expanded to almost two dozen countries including China and India. The only places where expansion failed was Japan and Hong Kong where Yahoo! had a head start.

ebay is free for buyers.... I am not sure about sellers.... They might ask for a certain amount of what you sell. I know that paypal charges ebay sellers per transaction.

it depends on if you primarily sell or buy. I do both and they charge me if i have any kind of activity. i am not sure if they charge for buying at all, i doubt it. but either way, you should research on ebays website. they have a very decent help page that you can submit any kind of questions.

They charge you to sell things but I don't think its a monthly bill.

Ebay is free to buyers, it is the sellers who pay the charges.

No need to cancel your membership. If you have:
BUYER ACCOUNT :--- NO CHARGE
SELLER ACCOUNT:-- NO CHARGE
eBay charges only when you list items for selling.
