Where do you sell to? Which market? In the UK you have to pay VAT at 20%. Whether you are based abroad doesn't matter, products are stored in warehouses in the UK, so you have to pay VAT.
France is 21%, Spain is 20%, Italy 20%, depends where you sell but seems normal.

Are you including any listing fees, listing enhancements, shipping charges in that 20%?

Yes little bit more than normal, eBay takes 10% and PayPal takes like 6-7% that's all.
Thank you all for response. I didnt insert any listing enhancement or anyrhing. When I listed I have 0 fees and when I sold these items I was charged about 20% . So hapend to more peoples??? Is any way can avoid these insane fees? Thank

Yes ebay UK you pay 10% + 2%vat + paypal fees = close to 20%
I'm getting out as it's way too high and the ebay customer is not exactly loose with their money.
