Actually, for sales within the US, the fees are 2.90% plus a $0.30 transaction fee (for under $3k in sales per month). For outside the US (called cross border fees), the fee is 3.90% plus a $0.30 transaction fee.
The Seller also pays a listing fee and a final value fee (based on the selling price).
Final value fee for most items except cars:
For an auction style listing:
$0.01-$25.00 8.75%
$25.01-$1,000.00 3.50% (+ the 8.75% above)
$1,000.01 & over 1.50% (+ the 8.75% & 3.50% above)
For fixed price auctions:
$0.01-$50.00 12.00%
$25.01-$1,000.00 3.50% (+ the 12.00% above)
$1,000.01 & over 1.50% (+ the 12.00% & 3.50% above)
Some categories of items have slightly different fees, but the above covers most items. Cars have a completely different fee schedule.
