Then, if the auction sells, you have final value fees added on to your bill also. If the item does not sell, you can relist however you are charged again for the relist fees. If the item sells the 2nd go around, then you are credited back the 2nd set of relist fees but you of course still have the final value fees. Either way, eBay has you coming or going. As far as PayPal account, there are 2 types of PayPal accounts. There is the regular PayPal account and an upgraded version. With the regular PayPal account there is NO charge to accept payments however you can not accept credit card payments. If you have the "upgraded account" you can accept ALL payments, including credit cards, however the seller is charged for EACH transaction! That really blows because you are already getting charged eBay fees and now you have PayPal fees even if it's a $10 item... That's why many auctions state to pay additional fees if paying via Paypal (which is against eBays rules). I personally like to keep my money, so I don't "upgrade" my PayPal account to accept credit cards. :wink:
