The listing fee you pay up front but you get it back if it sells (lost if you cancel or it does not sell)
The House cut, is only applied if the item sells, and they take a 'cut' of the amount you sold it for
So if it does not sell, you lose the listing fee
If it does sell, you lose the House cut (but you get refunded the listing fee)
