Your sales are classified as Teir 4 13.09% +33c GST included.
For low value sales, 33c can make a big difference when trying to calculate a total FVF.
For example, your $5 sales 13.09% of $5.00 = 65c
+33c = 98c (98c = 19.6% of $5.00)

You're selling virtual items
Electronically delivered items need to be listed in the Everything Else > Information Products category in the classified ad format
Electronically delivered items policy | eBay
And also using Promoted Listings? That costs extra
Promoted Listings Standard | eBay

8% + 3.9% + 2.6% (payment processing fee - that Paypal used to charge) + GST = 15.9%, near as.

Twynnie, if I may (ahem) correct you....it's $0.33c fixed charge, not $0.30 and electronically delivered means no postage.
When you sell an item on eBay, the final value fee is calculated as a percentage of the total sale amount per item (item price + postage and handling charges), plus a fixed charge of $0.33 (incl. GST) per order.
