When you sell on eBay, your items are visible to millions of potential buyers around the world. It's easy, safe, and generally free to list on eBay. You get a monthly allowance of free listings, and you only pay fees when your item sells and for any optional upgrades you choose to add.

Final value fees

We charge one 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 percentage of the total amount of the sale, plus a fixed fee per order. The variable final value fee is 11% for the portion of the total amount of the sale up to €1,990 and 2% for the portion of the total amount of the sale above €1,990. The fixed fee per order is €0.05 if the total amount of the order is below €10.00, otherwise €0.35.

The total amount of the sale includes the item price, any handling charges, the shipping service the buyer selects, VAT, and any other applicable fees.

An order is defined as any number of items purchased by the same buyer at checkout with the same shipment method.

Different fees apply to listings created in the Cars, Motorcycles & Vehicles category.

If your item doesn't sell, you usually don't pay a final value fee. However, if you offer or reference your contact information to another user or ask a buyer for their contact information in the context of buying or selling outside of eBay, we charge a final value fee for introducing you to the buyer. In this case, the final value fee is based on the higher of the fixed price, auction start price, Buy it now price, reserve price or the price identified between the buyer and seller.

See our fee credits article for information on the fee credits you'll receive when you issue a full refund to the buyer without eBay having to step in and help.

Your eBay selling fees and expenses are automatically deducted from your sales proceeds, and the remainder is paid out to your bank account.

Your final value fees will be displayed on your monthly invoice.

Listing fees

Each month you can create up to 150 listings for free, or more if you have an eBay Shop. You'll only pay listing fees if you've reached your monthly allowance and want to list more. Every listing created after your free monthly allocation has been used up costs €0.35. Different fees apply to listings created in the Cars, Motorcycles & Vehicles category. See the Fees for Basic eBay Shops section below for information on free listing allocations and listing fees when you subscribe to a Basic eBay Shop.

Listing fees are only charged once when the listing is originally created, unless you choose to manually relist your item. Auction-style listings that are automatically relisted using the auto-relist feature, and monthly renewals of Good 'Til Cancelled listings are not charged additional listing fees, and do not count towards your monthly allocation of free listings.

Selling limits apply and may prevent you from being able to use your entire allocation of free listings each month.

Fees for optional listing upgrades

Adding optional listing upgrades is a great way to help your listings stand out and attract more buyers. Certain features are free, like adding up to 12 photos for example, while others, like adding a subtitle, do require an additional fee.

We charge optional listing upgrade fees per listing regardless of whether your item sells, and only once when the listing is originally created, or if you choose to manually relist your item.

Please keep in mind that not all optional listing upgrades are available with every listing tool and not all optional listing upgrades may be displayed across all our sites, services, applications, and tools.

Fees for Basic eBay Shops

If you regularly list a large number of items you could save money with an eBay Shop. See the table below for more information on fees and free listings allocations when you subscribe to a Basic Shop. Fees for optional upgrades apply as per the table above.

Access to Selling manager and Selling manager Pro is also included in your Basic Shop subscription.

Dispute fee

When you are found responsible for a chargeback or other disputed amount as per eBay's policies, we charge a €19.68 dispute fee for each dispute.

International fee

If your registered address is in Ireland, we charge an international fee when the delivery address for the item (entered by the buyer during checkout) is outside the Eurozone and Sweden, as shown in the table below.

This fee is calculated on the total amount of the sale and is automatically deducted from your sales proceeds.

* Europe: Albania, Andorra, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Belarus, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Georgia, Vatican City, Hungary, Iceland, Kazakhstan, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Republic of Moldova, Montenegro, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, San Marino, Serbia, Svalbard and Jan Mayen, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, North Macedonia

If your registered address is not in Ireland, please refer to the fee page for your country or region of residence for your international fee information.

All fees displayed on this page up to this point are inclusive of VAT. Different VAT rates may apply to sellers not residing in Ireland

Seller currency conversion charge

This charge is levied by eBay S.à r.l. in connection with your use of managed payments.

When you create listings or sell items on an international eBay site, eBay may convert your funds to a different currency in order to collect amounts owed by you to eBay, or to payout funds due to you.

For example, if your registered address is in Ireland and you create a listing on eBay.com for which fees are due (such as listing and/or optional listing upgrade fees), eBay will convert your funds from EUR to USD using the transaction exchange rate applicable at the time of listing, in order to collect these fees. When the item sells on eBay.com, eBay will calculate your payout amount by converting the sales proceeds from USD to EUR using the transaction exchange rate applicable at the time of the sale.

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. The conversion charge is a fixed percentage applied to the base exchange rate and retained by eBay. The base exchange rate reflects rates within the wholesale currency markets applicable to the currency pairing on the day of the conversion, or the prior business day. If exchange rates are set by law or regulation, the base exchange rate reflects the government reference rates.

If your registered address is in Ireland, the seller currency conversion charge applied and retained by eBay is 3%. If your registered address is not in Ireland, please refer to the fee page for your country or region of residence for your seller currency conversion charge information.
