That is a shared experience. The only way to know is to read the user
agreement carefully, then apply the math yourself. When I've done so, it
has always checked out. A trust but verify kinda thing.
I regularly check my account ledger as once in a while I'll find a random
charge that makes no sense, and will get it credited. eBay definitely
makes mistakes. That being said, they are quick to fix them when brought
to their attention, but I wonder how many people who aren't checking their
accounting are being screwed by spurious charges.

A year or so ago, I tried to figure out how to even see a detailed
breakdown of eBay's costs and commissions on several servers I'd sold
for a client. I gave up. I'm convinced it is purposefully opaque.
You get what you get.
