How do I turn over the MySql databases that my sites are running on? (I use Joomla for alot of my sites)[/b]

It depends upon how you are transferring your site to the new person.
If you are transferring just the code and web pages, then you will have to back up the database and give them a way to install it into their own databases, as well as point the code you are giving them to the new database (whether you are making the change or just telling them how to make that change).
Another way to transfer the website is to transfer the entire hosting account where the site currently resides. I don't know but I expect that this is the more common scenario. In that case, if the database is hosted locally with the webhost, then it should just be a matter of transferring the name and billing information on the hosting account over to the new person and making sure that they have a list of any users and passwords for the databases.

How do I actually transfer ownership of a domain to another owner? Do they pay the transfer fee's?

You can do a domain name transfer to a different person than is originally owning the rights to the domain. Usually, they will want to transfer it from your registrar to their registrar. Who pays for that should be part of the sale, whether it be you or them. Domain transfers are usually a fairly negligible fee; I've never spent more than $10 for the actual transfer of the domain. I imagine that buying a website will hopefully be getting you significantly more than that.
