How fees are calculated

Insertion fee |
When you list an item on eBay, you may be charged a listing (or insertion) fee. If applicable, you're charged one insertion fee per listing, per category, regardless of the quantity of items. You will receive one insertion fee credit for each auction-style listing if that listed item sells. (Exclusions apply.) |
Final value fee |
If the item sells, you're charged a final value fee. Final value fees are calculated based on the total amount of the sale and are charged per item.
The total amount of the sale is the final price of the item, shipping charges, and any other amounts you may charge the buyer. Sales tax is not included.
|
|
Advanced listing upgrade fees |
If you add advanced listing upgrades to your listing, fees apply. Not all listing upgrades are available with every listing tool. |
Supplemental service fees |
If you use supplemental services, charges associated with these services may be included on your seller invoice as fees. |
The selling format (auction-style or fixed price) and category you select determines fee amounts. Learn more about selecting a selling format.

Promoted listings fees apply to advertising your purchase through our promoted listings service. If you use promoted listings, you select a percentage between 1% and 20% of the final sale price of an item (excluding shipping charges and sales tax) that you'll pay for each item sold in a listing within 30 days of a click on your ad for that listing. If you change the percentage, you'll be charged the rate that you had set at the time the ad was clicked.

Depending on the charge, and at eBay's option, these charges may be included on your seller invoice, which may be charged to your automatic payment method on file, if any.

Other terms
Insertion fees and advanced listing upgrade fees apply to each listing you create, are charged at the time of listing or relisting, as applicable, and are nonrefundable. Fee amounts are based on the terms in effect when the listing goes live and when it renews. If you select more than one category for your listing, insertion and advanced listing upgrade fees apply for each category.
You will receive one insertion fee credit for each auction-style listing if that listed item sells. (Exclusions apply.)
Not all listing upgrades are available with every listing tool and not all advanced listing upgrades, when purchased, may be displayable across all our sites, services, applications, and tools.
We require payment in full each month on accounts with an amount due of $1 or more. If you haven't paid the amount due by the payment due date each month, late fees may apply. Learn more about payment requirements, due dates, and late fees.
We may limit the exposure of duplicate auction-style listings to encourage a positive buyer experience. If you list duplicate, identical auction-style listings, you'll be charged the full insertion fee and any fees for optional advanced listing upgrades for each listing even if a listing doesn't appear on eBay for the full duration of the listing. See the duplicate listings policy for more information.
Seller fees don't purchase exclusive rights to web pages on eBay. We may, in our sole discretion and without consent from or payment to sellers, display third-party advertisements (including links and references thereto) and listings from other sellers on any eBay web page.
When you submit your listing, it might not appear immediately in a keyword or category search. This can take up to 24 hours. Therefore, we can't guarantee exact listing durations.
All fees are in US dollars.
