Why is my final value fee always slightly over 10 per cent?

I noticed that my final value fees are always slightly over 10 per cent and I can't figure out why.

Recent example: I sold some pins from Canada to Canada, auction style, for $26 CDN. There was no listing fee, no upgrades of any kind, no shipping costs. It was the most simple straightforward scenario I can imagine.

Anyway, my FVF was $2.73, a percentage of 10.5% - where is this 0.5% coming from? I can't find it anywhere on the eBay site.

I looked at some older auctions with the same simple scenario and again, there's always a few pennies tacked on at the end with no easy explanation. I am an Above Standard seller with no strikes to my name. I can't figure it out. Help?

That would make perfect sense - too bad it's not more clear in the fee tables. Thanks!

Would be nice if they showed the percent fee charged in each line item with any tax as a separate amount.Percents do vary per category. This would be kinda like the "concept" where you show your math.

It's relatively new, but if they can add the tax they should be able to show the tax as a line item.
