Standard US Account processing fees are 2.9% plus $.30 per transaction.
For example, if you sold an item priced at $10.00 - PayPal would charge you $.59 or 2.9% x $10.00 = $.29 +$.30 = $.59
PayPal then deducts the $.59 from your $10.00 and deposits the remaining balance of $9.41 into your PayPal Account.
