    Yes, you pay out of your own pocket to ship the item when you bring it to the Post Office, but you get reimbursed $3.99 of that money by Amazon. That's why you get $25.00 *plus* another $3.99 for shipping, even though the selling price of your item was only $25.

    As for the fees -- they make it VERY clear when you sign up to be an Amazon seller that they take their fees up front out of your selling price:

    They take 99 cents plus a certain percentage, which varies depending on what type of item you sold.
