I have finally figured out a formula to figure out ebays charges and the resulting net payout to me.
Your actual sale price
Add tax rate for buyers locale - see
http://www.sale-tax.com/Now figure ebay fees - 12.35% (for most categories) plus $0.30 transaction fee
Deduct the ebay fees from the beginning actual sale price
Now you can subtract shipping charge
This will be your net - unless there are other circumstances as mention previously like the "International Fee".
This info is for sellers like me that don't have "a store" or other special arrangement with ebay.
$12.99 sale
.94 add tax from a rate table
$13.93 subtotal
$2.02 fee figure 12.35% plus $0.30
$12.99 sale price again
$2.02 subtract fee figure
$10.97 subtotal
$3.85 subtract shipping
$7.12 your net
