Ebay took 39% of my money?
I recently sold my items for $705, as shown on my 90 day total, but my total funds are $444. Why did they take so much money? I understand there is a fee, but this cannot be it!

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.
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:

All of the deductions should be listed here:
https://www.ebay.com/sh/fin/transactions
Please look at the breakdown here of your payouts here:
https://www.ebay.com/sh/fin/summary
If you click PayOut ID here, it will have a complete breakdown of that Payout:

When "the Buyer pays for shipping", that money is given to you/the seller.
- Then you pay for the shipping label.
- The amount the buyer pays for shipping could be more or less than the actual final shipping cost, it is based on the settings chosen in your listing when you created it.
- The amount you pay for shipping is based on the actual final shipping details you enter before you click to print a label.
If you copy your numbers here we can help.
(PS did you buy extra shipping labels you didn't use? Did you "promote" any of your items?)

OP1 year agoI promoted some, but enough to have 40% taken from me, what do you mean by numbers?

Everything will be listed here, you could copy these numbers
https://www.ebay.com/sh/fin/transactions
Or these numbers from "financial overview"
https://www.ebay.com/sh/fin/reportslanding
Look at the deductions, they will all be there, in detail.
If you promoted at 10% + Final Value Fees of ~14% = 24% already
You have sold 14 items, but possible the Nintendo Switch was sold twice?

Be sure to always enter the correct weight and dimensions when you list your item.
--- New sellers sometimes buy to many shipping labels.
I can't tell anything without seeing your numbers.
