Fees for selling on eBay
Fees for selling on eBay
When you sell on eBay, there are 3 types of fees:
- Insertion fees
- This fee is paid whenever you list an item on eBay, even if it doesn't sell
- The insertion fee varies, depending on the listing format you choose and the category you list the item under
- Final value fees
- When your item sells, you'll be charged a final value fee that's based on a percentage of the total cost to the buyer, including postage, packaging and any other related costs
- You'll only pay this fee when your item sells
- Feature fees
- This fee is only paid if you select optional features to increase your chances of a successful sale, e.g. international site visibility, subtitle or picture pack
Total cost of selling item = Insertion fee + Final value fee + Feature fees (if any)
Note: Stated eBay fees include 15% VAT for residents of the EU. Invoices sent to you will quote fees with VAT included. Find out why we use the Luxembourg rate of VAT
