Store selling fees

For a monthly subscription, you can run your own eBay Store. The fees and benefits vary depending on the type of Store subscription you choose.

When you have an eBay Store, you get more listings with zero insertion fees and pay lower final value fees, compared to selling without a Store. You also get access to additional tools to manage and promote your business.

The rest of the fee structure is the same as for sellers who don't have an eBay Store. We charge an insertion fee when you create a listing, and a final value fee when your item sells.

The amount we charge when you have an eBay Store depends on the item price, the format and category you choose for your listing, any optional listing upgrades you add, your Store subscription package, and your seller conduct and performance.

Store subscription fees

When you open an eBay Store you'll choose a Store package: Starter, Basic, Premium, Anchor, or Enterprise. Visit our Seller Center - opens in new window or tab to learn more about the benefits of opening an eBay Store.

When you first subscribe, you'll choose between automatic monthly or yearly renewals. For either option, we charge the subscription fee on a monthly basis.

Store type Store subscription fee per month
Monthly renewal Yearly renewal
Starter $7.95 $4.95
Basic $27.95 $21.95
Premium $74.95 $59.95
Anchor $349.95 $299.95
Enterprise Not currently available $2,999.95

We'll charge you for your Store every month until you cancel your subscription. To find out how fees are charged when you change your Store level or cancel your subscription/close your Store, please read our Stores Subscription Terms of Service - opens in new window or tab.

Insertion fees

All sellers get a monthly allocation of zero insertion fee listings. When you have an eBay Store subscription, you get more zero insertion fee listings per month than sellers who don't have a Store. The number you get depends on the Store subscription package you choose. Keep in mind, selling limits apply and certain categories are excluded from the zero insertion fee listings offer. Learn more about how zero insertion fee listings work, including the terms and exclusions for those listings.

After you've used your zero insertion fee allowance, insertion fees are:

  • Nonrefundable if your item doesn't sell
  • Charged per listing and per category. So if you list your item in two categories, you'll pay an insertion fee for the second category too
  • Charged for the original listing and each time your item is relisted
  • Charged per listing if you create duplicate auction-style listings for identical items. Read more about our duplicate listings policy
  • Credited back for auction-style listings that end in a sale for Basic, Premium, Anchor, and Enterprise Store subscribers (exclusions apply)

Good 'Til Cancelled listings

Good 'Til Cancelled listings are fixed price listings that renew automatically once per calendar month. We charge an insertion fee and applicable optional listing upgrade fees when you list your item for the first time, and each time it renews. These listings count toward your monthly zero insertion fee listings. Insertion fee and listing upgrade fee amounts are based on the terms in effect when the listing goes live and when it renews.

More information for sellers with an Enterprise Store

Sellers with an Enterprise Store subscription can earn bundles of 10,000 additional free fixed price listings by reaching sales targets.

When you complete 3,000 transactions in one month, for each additional 300 completed transactions, you will earn 10,000 free fixed price listings to be used the following month, on top of the 100,000 free fixed price listings you receive with your subscription.

Example: In September, you have 3,600 completed transactions. You earn 2 free listings bundles, which is 20,000 free fixed price listings.

  • Your free listings are based on the number of completed transactions above a 3,000 minimum threshold during the month. In this case, you have 600 completed transactions above the minimum threshold (3,600 - 3,000 = 600)
  • You earn 1 free listing bundle for every 300 listings above the minimum threshold. In this case, you'll earn 2 free listings bundles (600/300 = 2)
  • Each free listings bundle entitles you to 10,000 free fixed price listings to be used the following month. In this case, you'll earn 20,000 free listings (2 x 10,000 = 20,000) to be used in the month of October. They will expire on October 31. This is in addition to the 100,000 free fixed price listings you receive as part of your Enterprise Store subscription
 

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 per order fee. For orders $10.00 or less the per order fee is $0.30, for orders over $10.00 the per order fee is $0.40.

The total amount of the sale includes the item price, any handling charges, any shipping costs collected from the buyer (some exceptions apply), sales tax, and any other applicable fees.

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

If you need to refund the buyer or cancel the sale, you may be eligible for fee credits as per our fee credits policy.

Please note that we charge different fees for non-Store sellers and different fees for selling vehicles in our Motors category.

Exceptions to how we calculate the final value fee on shipping

  • If you offer 1-day or international shipping as well as a cheaper or free option (like domestic shipping), the total amount of the sale is calculated based on the cheapest domestic option you offer. If you only offer 1-day or international shipping but no cheaper option like domestic shipping, the total amount of the sale is calculated based on the service the buyer chooses
    • If you're in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, or Vietnam and your item isn't located in the US, the total amount of the sale is always calculated based on the shipping option your buyer chooses
  • If you ship internationally using eBay International Shipping - opens in new window or tab, your final value fee for shipping is calculated on your cost to ship to the US shipping hub. If you offered free domestic shipping in your listing, you won't be charged a final value fee on shipping
  • For sneakers sold through Authenticity Guarantee with a free shipping label provided to you, eBay collects a flat shipping charge from the buyer but there is no final value fee charged on shipping

Additional final value fees

You may be charged final value fees if you violate our policy of buying or selling outside of eBay, or we may apply additional final value fees if you are not meeting our performance expectations.

Buying or selling outside of eBay

If you offer or reference your contact information or ask a buyer for their contact information in the context of buying or selling outside of eBay, you'll be charged a final value fee based on the total amount of the sale even if your item doesn't sell. In this situation, the total amount of the sale is determined as follows:

  • Auction-style listing format: The total amount of the sale is the auction start price, the Buy It Now price (if applicable), the reserve price (if applicable), or the price identified between the buyer and seller, whichever is highest.
  • Fixed price listing format: The total amount of the sale is the fixed price or the price identified between the buyer and seller, whichever is higher.

Sellers not meeting performance expectations

Additional final value fees may apply on sales in the following circumstances:

  • If your account doesn't meet our minimum seller performance standards for the US in the evaluation on the 20th of the month, you'll be charged an additional 6% on the final value fees applicable to sales in the following calendar month. Go to your Seller Dashboard - opens in new window or tab to check your current seller level. This fee does not apply to Above Standard and eBay Top-rated Sellers
  • If your rate of 'Item not as described' return requests is evaluated in your service metrics - opens in new window or tab as Very High in the evaluation on the 20th of the month in one or more categories, you will be charged an additional 5% on the final value fees for sales in those categories in the following calendar month. You can view your personalized service metrics on your Service Metrics dashboard - opens in new window or tab in Seller Hub.

Any additional final value fees will be calculated as a percentage of the total amount of the sale. We'll indicate which listings are subject to additional fees on your Account Summary - opens in new window or tab.

Note: If your account isn't meeting our minimum seller performance standards and you're rated Very High in your rate of 'Item not as described' return requests, you'll only be charged the additional final value fee for not meeting our minimum seller performance standards.

Dispute fee

If you are found responsible for a disputed amount as per eBay policies (for example, a chargeback), we charge a $20.00 dispute fee, excluding sales tax, for each dispute.

International fee

If your registered address is in the US and you offer eBay International Shipping - opens in new window or tab for your eligible listings, you won't be charged an international fee when your eligible item sells.

If you're not using eBay International Shipping to ship your item, we charge an international fee if either:

  • The delivery address for the item (entered by the buyer during checkout) is outside the US, or
  • The buyer's registered address is outside the US (regardless of the delivery address for the item)

This fee is calculated as 1.65% of the total amount of the sale and is automatically deducted from your sales.

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

Seller currency conversion charge

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 the US and you create a listing on eBay.de for which fees are due (such as insertion and/or optional listing upgrade fees), eBay will convert your funds from USD to EUR using the transaction exchange rate applicable at the time of listing, in order to collect these fees. When the item sells on eBay.de, eBay will calculate your payout amount by converting the sales proceeds from EUR to USD 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 the US, the seller currency conversion charge applied and retained by eBay is 3%. If your registered address is not in the US, please refer to the fee page for your country or region of residence for your seller currency conversion charge information.

Examples of fee calculations

Auction-style listing example

You're a Basic Store subscriber and you're selling a handbag using a 10-day duration. You select a starting price of $199 with a Buy It Now price of $400, and you offer free shipping. You haven't yet used your allocation of zero insertion fee listings this month, and you are meeting our performance expectations.

The item sells immediately for the Buy It Now price of $400. Since you aren't charging the buyer for shipping or any other costs, $424 is the total amount of the sale (includes 6% sales tax).

Your total fees for this item:

Insertion fee

$0.00

Buy It Now fee

Free

Final value fee (13% of $424, + $0.40)

$55.52

Total fees

$55.52

You make $344.48, or approximately 86% of the sale price, not including shipping costs.

 

 

Fixed price listing example

You're a new Starter Store subscriber and you haven't yet used your monthly allocation of zero insertion fee listings. You list a ski jacket for $65 with a free shipping option, and you add a subtitle to help the listing stand out. You're meeting our performance expectations.

The jacket sells quickly and the buyer selects the free shipping option. The total amount of the sale is $68.90 (includes 6% sales tax).

Your total fees for this item:

Insertion fee

$0.00

Subtitle fee

$2.00

Final value fee (13.25% of $68.90, + $0.40)

$9.53

Total fees

$11.53

You make $53.47, or approximately 82% of the sale price.
