Can I speak to a live person?

[thrifty.ness]

Why am I being charged fees when I post and I subscribe as a store?

First, you don't really want to speak to a live customer support agent.  They have a reputation for telling you what they think you want to hear, and just get you off the phone.

Second, we're more likely to be able to help.  What store level are you subscribed to?  What categories and types of listings are you creating (auctions or fixed price, and eBay category all matter potentially)? How much are you getting charged?  Have you looked at your account to see what exactly the charges were for (listing fees, upgrade fees, ad fees, etc)?

I don't see you have a store on this account.   Also, since your a new seller, a store won't be of much help.  All new sellers have listing limits.  Having a store won't let you list more until the limits come off.    You want to avoid the extra cost listing options.  Things like promoted listings and  reserve prices  just waste fees and don't help much with sales.

I'm not sure what your question actually is about posting, but yes, ebay charges fees to open a store. They also have other fees that include listing and selling on ebay. I'm providing two links with the explanations for the costs. The first explains the different types of stores and the monthly/yearly costs. The second is for the other fees to sell on here.

You aren't charged to post anything on these boards. If you are talking about listing your items, that is explained in the second link. Good luck to you.

You don't have a store subscription on this account.

When you use a reserve, there's an extra fee for using it and you have to pay the fee even if the item doesn't sell.

Just in case you missed it..... (thanks to @kensgiftshop )

"...When you use a reserve (like you have done on your recent auction listing), there's an extra fee for using it and you have to pay the fee even if the item doesn't sell..."

The OP does have a store on this account.

I don't see any store account on this ID.  Do you have another account? Seeing as you only have 4 things for sale, I wouldn't think a store would be necessary.  Perhaps you should post some more listings.  You have some nice clothing items for sale & your prices are good.  Perhaps get some more sales under your belt and consider a store later on.

Good luck to you & happy selling

Yup.

Odd stuff. Did not see it earlier, but now it appears😎

You're being charged a fee because you have a reserve price on one of your auctions. The fee for that is non refundable. 
Just an FYI having a store subscription will not give you more free insertion listings when you have monthly selling limits.

I don't think the OP had a store when I first looked at their account, shortly after they started this thread. I think it was opened afterwards.
