eBay Fees 101

Every eBay site such as ebay.com, ebay.co.uk or ebay.com.au will have different fees. In this article we will cover the fee structure for ebay.com.

When am I charged fees?

The costs to sell on eBay are broken down into two phases:

1

Pre Sales-Fees

  • Insertion fee – If you are a non store subscriber, after your 250th listing, an insertion fee will be charged when you list an item and will be charged again every 30 days. It is USD0.35 per listing per month. Once you reach above 250 listings, we recommend that you to subscribe to an eBay store for better savings.

2

Post Sales-Fees

  • Final value fee – Once an item is sold, you will be charged $0.30 + % of Final value fee (FVF). FVF % is dependent on the listing category. FVF % is charged based on total selling price + shipping cost. Percentage shown on the diagram above is based on most categories.
  • International fee – This fee is applicable to international sellers. For Southeast Asia seller it is 1.3%.
