Insertion Fees

About Insertion Fees

  • An Insertion Fee is a listing fee. It is the price eBay charges for listing your item for sale.

  • This fee is charged to your seller's account at the time of listing.

  • As with a newspaper ad, you need to pay this basic listing fee, even if your item is not sold. (If your item sells, a Final Value Fee is charged to your seller's account.)

  • Insertion Fees are not refundable.
