Yup.
Ebay will charge you a flat fee (Listing fee) depending on what your listing price was. Sometimes they offer free listing deals, or if you list an auction starting under $1 there is no fee, on most if not all, categories.

Additionally every item that is sold, a "Final Value Fee" which is a percentage of the actual selling price, is also tacked on. As far as I can remember, Ebay has always functioned this way.

The thing that can be really frustrating is when Ebay starts to get involved with shipping. Telling you they have the right to dictate how much you're allowed to charge. Which i'v found has sometimes been actually less than what the actual cost was. How is that fair??

But then again it was designed to protect buyers from being over-charged for shipping. But how does it help the seller when it cost then $13 to ship, but Ebay said you were only allowed to collect up to $7. I dunno i'm sure it's worked out better now, but I just say "Free shipping" now
