ioffer.com and Yahoo auction doesn't charge a listing fee, but if you do sell it they take a small percentage of what you sold it for....

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.

Yes, it is based on how much you are listing it for, if it has a reserve, a buy it now and if it sells. I recently sold something for $250.00 which had a reserve and a buy it now and I started it at $50.00. It cost me $4.00 to list it just to give you an example.

Yes, this is one of the ways they make money. They obvious don't run the site for free lol. They charge a percent of every listing. Visit their site and it explains everything.

it's a percentage of the selling price, sliding scale based on value, and also how often you sell, etc
