How do you calculate ebay+paypal fees?

[Aguiluz]

So I have found two buy it now items clocked at $11.07 and $7.53 with free ships each. Totalling 18.60 CA. This Friday I'm going to plonk $25 +tax for a Mastercard Vanilla. Then the darn Mastercard takes $4.95 for activation (is it right?) giving me $20.05 to work with. Now I'm worried about the eBay+Paypal fees. I got CA$1.45 left over to pay any fees that the two companies will slap on.


Would I make it?


BTW: Both items are served by Power Sellers, if that really matters.

The activation charge for the Vanilla prepaid cards is paid for on top of the value of the card, so at the register when you buy it you will have to pay $30. I don't know how much the eBay and PayPal fees will be, but they'll probably be more than $1.45. But because the card will have the full $25, you might be okay as long as PayPal doesn't do that "$1 test charge, then refund 24 hours later" verification like some online retailers do.

Would it shoot within $25 vanilla though?

If you're buying, there's no fees. They only have the crazy high fees if you sell.

Yeah, no fees for buying....and so far for me anyway, there have been no fees from paypal either

The same goes with paypal; they only have fees for the sellers.
