eBay Motors vehicle listings are those within the Cars & Trucks, Motorcycles, Powersports, Boats, and Other Vehicles categories.

You can list vehicles in National, Local Classified Ad, and Local Market (for subscribed dealers) formats.

All fees are in US dollars.

National listing fees

Basic fees

You may have to pay an insertion fee and a successful listing fee to list a vehicle on eBay Motors. Other fees such as PayPal fees and optional listing upgrade fees may also apply.

You may be charged a successful listing fee if:

• you receive a bid on an auction-style listing without a reserve price

• you receive a bid that meets your reserve price on an auction-style listing with a reserve price

• a buyer clicks Buy It Now in a listing offering a fixed price

• you accept an offer from the buyer through the Best Offer feature

The amount of the successful listing fee depends on the final bid amount, as shown in the tables below. For listings ending with Buy It Now, the final bid amount is the Buy It Now price. For listings ending with acceptance of a Best Offer, the final bid amount is the Best Offer price.

There's no additional fee charged on the actual sale of the car after the vehicle sells. However, you'll be charged a successful listing fee regardless of whether you carry out the sale with the buyer.

*A calendar year starts on January 1 and ends on December 31.

Each time you submit a listing or relist an item, it counts as 1 listing.

You're eligible for the pricing above if you've submitted 6 or fewer listings in each of the previous calendar years. When you've submitted 7 or more listings in a single calendar year, you're considered a high-volume seller. Once you become a high-volume seller, you're permanently a high-volume seller and high-volume seller fees apply.

Examples:

• Seller A has never listed on eBay Motors. He lists 2 cars between January 1 and July 30. One car does not sell, so he relists it. It does not sell again, so he relists it a second time. When the next calendar year starts on January 1, Seller A will have a history of 4 listings, and will be eligible for the fees available to low-volume sellers.

• Seller B has also never listed on eBay Motors. He lists 6 different cars between January 1 and November 30. He is charged zero insertion fees for these cars. When he lists another car on December 15, he's no longer considered a low-volume seller and fees for high-volume sellers apply because he has more than 6 listings in a calendar year. When the next calendar year starts on January 1, he'll be considered a high-volume seller and will be charged insertion fees to list.

Parts & Accessories listing fees

When you list a Parts & Accessories item on eBay, you're charged an insertion fee. If the item sells, you're also charged a final value fee. The basic cost of selling an item is the insertion fee plus the final value fee. Other fees (such as PayPal fees and optional listing fees) may also apply.

The basic fee structure depends on the type of listing—auction-style or fixed price format—you use.

All fees are in US dollars.

Optional feature fees

You can choose to add optional features to increase the chance of selling your item.
