9% final value fee is for "auctions." Most ebay listing these days are fixed price listings, because sellers get ripped off like crazy with any item auction that doesn't have rabid demand, which is 13% up to $50 for videogames and 5% above that. Paypal fees is 2.9% plus $.30 for every transaction. I think a ton of people flipping stuff on ebay or amazon marketplace are losing money -- they're just so bad at accounting they don't realize it. A quick glance at the last 10 or so completed ebay Xenoblade transactions and nearly none of them are profitable.
