Final value fees on a sale: 10% of what buyer paid (item+shipping) plus sales tax on the fees.

kijiji is owned by ebay.

It is important for anyone planning to sell on a site for first time to acquaint selves with all the selling information, policies, rules, including fees BEFORE listing an item. All that necessary information is made available whether it be selling on eBay or any other selling venue. For anyone who is not new to the site but has not been listing for some time, should never take anything for granted. Best to read up on things to be aware of any changes that may have taken place in one's absence. It is up to the seller to be informed of these things.

You paid 10% of the selling price.

10% of the shipping price.

30c plus 2.9% of the total payment to Paypal.

Your PP fees may have been higher if your customer was in the USA. (3.9% instead of 2.9%)

Tracked shipping is expensive and again you will pay 10% of the shipping price as an eBay fee.

There are also various non-refundable options offered when you list.  None are worth paying for. 
If you will be paying any listing fees they appear before you upload the listing.

Canadians pay Paypal 3.7% for US buyers, 3.9% for all other international transactions.
