Ebay and Paypal fees?

eBay bill you monthly. If you have indicated that you want your monthly fees to come out of your Paypal account they will do that approximately a week after the monthly eBay bill. eBay will send you an email about 3 days after the monthly closeoff telling you what your fees are and give you another few days to pay it by another means if you so wish. If you do nothing the money just comes out of your Paypal account. eBay do not take the fees out every time you sell something but you can do it manually if you so wish by making a 'one time payment' after every transaction

eBay and PayPal are both essentially 'pay as you go' - that is, they're transaction-based - although eBay only actually collects once a month. Neither one charges any kind of monthly 'membership' or 'maintenance' fees. You only owe eBay money when you DO something (post a listing, sell an item) or on PayPal when you receive payments besides refunds (someone purchases from you or sends you money), and PayPal takes its cut from the money before you ever get it. eBay bills you once a month for any activity during the preceding month, and if you didn't do anything, you don't owe anything. Basically, once you've paid the fees for a given transaction, you won't be charged any fees again until you do another transaction. In the sense I think you're talking about, there are no 'hidden' fees.
