When you start selling on eBay, you need to select an automatic payment method for your seller fees. If you prefer, you can also become ID verified to confirm your identity. You can change your payment method at any time.
For information on payment requirements, late fees, and payment schedules, see Payment due dates.
To learn about one-time payments, see Making a one-time payment
.
If you have any credits on your account, they will be applied to your payment for each invoice. If you don’t want to apply your credits to your payment, you can change your seller billing preferences in My eBay. With this change, any credits applied to your account after we create an invoice will apply to next month's invoice amount. This setting does not affect payments, which will always apply to your payment deduction amount.
Paying with PayPal
PayPal is a safe, convenient way to pay your eBay seller fees automatically. When you set up automatic PayPal payments, your seller fees are automatically deducted from your PayPal account no sooner than 10 days after you receive your invoice.
How automatic PayPal payments workPayPal withdraws funds from your PayPal account balance.
If there are insufficient funds in the PayPal account, PayPal uses the funding source you selected when you signed up for automatic PayPal payments.
If you didn’t select a preferred funding source during that process, PayPal uses whatever PayPal funding source you've provided.
Changing your PayPal funding source for your seller fees
You can change your PayPal funding source for eBay seller fees at any time. To ensure that new information is used for an invoice payment, please update the account before the end of your billing cycle (either the end of the month or the 15th of the month).
To specify your funding source:From the PayPal home page, log in to your PayPal account.
In the Financial Information column, click the Preapproved Payments link.
Click the Edit Funding Source link to change your funding sources.
If a payment from this preferred funding source fails, (for example, the credit card expires), the eBay invoice amount can be paid from other available funding sources.
Note: You can also specify funding sources that you don't want to use for
automatic payments from the Preapproved Payments
page.
Paying by Direct Pay
If you prefer, we’ll automatically deduct your seller fees from your checking account on the same day each month. The day is based on the date you’re invoiced. This option is available to sellers who have U.S. bank accounts and are billed in U.S. dollars. If you select this option, you’ll need to provide your routing and checking account numbers.
Checking accounts are billed no sooner than the 20th of the month if you're invoiced at the end of the month, and no sooner than the 5th of the following month if you're invoiced in the middle of the month. See Payment due dates.
You can update your checking account information any time. To ensure that the new information is used for an invoice payment, please update the account before the end of your billing cycle (either the end of the month or the 15th of the month).
