I have sold my fortnite acc on ebay the buyer must seem to be quite rich because he had 18,050 € bid as I come from rather simple (not so poor) conditions, I and my family were very happy. My question is I have to pay taxes and who yes how many and how much does eBay get as Verkausgebüren
No, it's a one-time sale. As long as you do not intend to sell commercial accounts.
However, if your family relies on Hartz4, you can quickly forget the money.
Do not be too happy:
A well-known bug of the eBay app, which has simply confused point and comma in bidding and will certainly challenge the purchase in the near future (with success).
No, you do not have to pay taxes as it was a one off private sale.
You only have to pay taxes if you do it regularly and the sale is profit-oriented, so if you want to make money from it. Then you would have to register a company and then pay the resulting taxes.
But in a sale, no matter how high the profit may be, no taxes are payable.
To be recommended to protect yourself, but in any case would be a contract of sale.
The sale is not allowed:

You can't sell property to a thing that is not yours.
In addition, @ NoName08154711 has pointed you to the error in bidding.
It would not have been that high without Bieterschlacht. There are other interested parties.
And by the way you have 15 years to look for anything on ebay. Ebay allows the registration only with 18 years. You logged in there with wrong data.
Would be funny, so from the outside.
I sold my Aion account 8 years ago for 550 euro and that was a lot.
As long as you only sell your "Fortnite acc" this is tax-free. You can certainly read the Ebay commission yourself.
Probably pays now with a 19000 euro check and asks you to remit the rest! Then you call the check fraud.
Or the police report after a week. Because not your buyer but a third party has paid…
So put it on a deposit account and let it together until Christmas. After that I would almost be sure that it remains your money
But I wish you good luck - make good use of the profit
