because it is in the 30 free listings - is it the 7.90% and what is the capped at $100 - does that mean the fee cannot be over $100

You pay 7.9% of the total of each individual sale.  The capped amount is for each sale not the total of all sales.

The paypal fee is 30cents plus 2.4% of the total amount transferred....item price + postage.

Whereabouts in PayPal do we find the total profit, after all of the eBay/PP fees?

it would be one sale of $850 plus $90 postage - maybe $120 postage - so does that mean that the fvf would not go over $100

so all in all it would be 10.3% across the board? +30c

The eBay fee, which is charged on sale price only, on a $890 sale would be $70.31. The PayPal fee is on the entire payment, so if $90 was charged for post, making a total of $980, the PayPal fee would be an additional $23.82, for $120 post the fee would be $24.54, making the total fees paid either $94.13 or $94.85.

Be aware that sudden activity with PayPal and unusually high amounts can sometimes cause alerts, which in turn can instigate ID checks and occasionally withholding of funds.

thanks heaps digital

Also, if you are planning to use this ID you will be most likely limited to listing 10 items or value of couple of thousands per month for first few months.  Especially if you are planning to list something that  could be fake.
