Keep in mind, that ebay enforces a delay on when money gets into your account, for me its typically been in the 1-2 week range (I guess this is so buyers have a chance to protest if there is a problem before the money actually gets to you), and they do take out their commission. Ebay has done a pretty good job of making the whole transaction pretty seamless.
