@sharktoe That sounds frustrating.

Your "available funds" are a running total, so there may be other fees from other listings and sales intermingled. Each payout can cover multiple transactions.

If you click PayOut ID here, it will have a complete breakdown of that Payout:

From your gross sales (Price + Shipping, if any + Sales Tax) eBay will deduct

Sales Tax (remitted to the state)

Shipping labels

Final Value Fees FVF

Insertion fees (if any)

Promoted listing fees (if any)

Store Fees (if any)

etc.

There is a nice video on this page about how to find your fees: https://export.ebay.com/en/fees-and-payments/seller-fees/

Here is a help page where you can learn about selling fees:
