We will charge a final value fee when your item sells, and you don’t have to worry about third-party payment processing fees. This fee is calculated as a variable percentage of the total amount of the sale plus a transaction fee that varies in quantum depending on the eBay site your item is sold on (for example, on ebay.com the transaction fee is USD 0.30 per order).
Below are the two components to FVF:
This fee is calculated as a percentage of the total amount of the sale, including the item price, any handling charges, shipping service the buyer selects, and sales tax may be applicable*, The Variable or “%Category” varies by Category, Store Subscription, and the eBay Site that you sell. In short, sellers with Basic Store Subscription or higher will pay a lower %Category FVF than sellers with no stores or Starter Stores.
If you need to refund the buyer or cancel the sale, you may be eligible for a credit of the variable percentage portion of the final value fee provided that you refund the buyer in full in resolution of a return or cancellation request. The $0.30 per order fee will not be credited.

When you create listings or sell items on an international eBay site with a listing currency different to your payout currency, eBay may convert your funds to collect amounts owed by you to eBay, or to payout funds due to you. If eBay converts your funds, the conversion will be completed at the transaction exchange rate we set for the relevant currency exchange. eBay’s transaction exchange rate is composed of a base exchange rate plus a conversion charge.
“Other” fees are related to store subscription, insertions, and other marketing costs, such as Promoted Listings, and fees for optional listing upgrades.
