30 cents transaction fee plus 2.9% of $2.04= 36 cents.
If buyer uses a credit card issued by foreign bank,it is 4.4% plus 30 cents .
you can apply for micro payment 6% plus 6 cents if you sell mostly low priced items,read details on Paypal.
but be careful not to use that account for big ticket item 6% is a lot !
6cents plus 6% of $2.04 = $0.1824

I'm not surprised by this thread one bit.

Sooooo many people have no idea what their expenses really are. :(

Thanks I should have figured that out

Well I always just figured 4% for paypal and it is actually less than that, so yes 1974 I pretty know how much I make on my sales. My excel calculator takes into account ebay fees, (4%) pp fees, shipping envelope cost, label cost, and shipping fee, even put 5% for my time, even though I am now retired from working a real job.

How about a little research, going forward. These fees have been set in stone for ages!
