Insert fee + commission + paypal fee. At the end of the day, ebay (+paypal) get around 10- 20% of your sale – most of the times that is your complete profit. And other thing is they do not clearly display the total fees when you sell something – you have to collect paypal fee from paypal – and add to ebay fees to figure out all the fees. I feel amazon is kind of easier to deal with than paypal – they display total fees and your earnings first and there are no insertion fee. And you don’t have make a complete page and upload photos (where ebay charge additional fees again). Only problem is amazon do not have a shipping system inbuilt like paypal USPS/UPS system.
