How Much Are Closing Costs For Amazon Auctions?

[Cedrick]

Thanks! I am selling a Lord of the Rings original board game by standard auction, with both a reserve price, and a buy it now price. Any idea how much losing costs are? I know with books it's almost prohibitive. Also I don't know what amazon-pay is? Thanks!
