Just received papypal payment for my first sold item - have paypal already taken their fee? And questions re ebay fees too.

[SpideySenseTingling]

The received money is a bit less than the buyer has paid me, so is that the paypal fee? I thought they "saved up" all their fees and took them in one go once a month or something? Or is that ebay fees?

And how much ARE ebay fees? Is it 10% of sale price (plus any insertion fee)? And they just take their money from my paypal account don't theY, but how often and is there any where I can see how much I owe them, so I can keep track?

Thanks. Novice at this, as you can see!

BTW, I have googled this. Serached for "fees" on ebay and yes it told me what they were but not easily able to find how, so I thought the ebay MNers would be bound to know.

Use this for your fees

paypal take their fees straight away, your eBay invoice is produced once a month. From myeBay click on Account and then Seller Account to see your fees.

fergoose thank you very much, that's really helpful, especially the seller account area where I can see what my next invoice will be.

I clicked on your link and interestingly it offered to sell me their website! Wonder what the fees on that sale would be!
