Seller fees are charged when you list your items, and can include insertion fees, final value fees, and fees for optional listing features. We don’t charge a membership fee for a basic selling account, so all fees are due to listing activities. Learn more about our seller fees.

When you set up your seller account, you’ll specify an automatic payment method to pay your seller fees. However, you can also make a one-time payment. (If you make a one-time payment, check your billing cycle date to make sure you allow at least 5 days between your scheduled automatic payment and your one-time payment to prevent duplicate payments.)

You can update your checking account information or remove a payment method from your account at any time.

Ways you can pay

We offer a number of ways to pay your seller fees. 

• PayPal

  PayPal is a safe, convenient way to pay your eBay fees. When you sign up for monthly PayPal payments, your amount due will automatically be deducted from your PayPal account each month. Or you can make a one-time payment using your PayPal account.

• Automatic credit card payments

  Each month, we’ll automatically charge your fees directly to the credit card you place on file (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover Card). Your credit card is usually charged five to seven days after you receive your invoice. You can also make a one-time payment with your credit card.

• Direct Pay from your checking account

  Direct Pay is available to sellers who are billed in U.S. dollars with U.S. bank accounts. With Direct Pay, we’ll automatically deduct your seller fees from your checking account on the same day each month. To sign up for Direct Pay, you’ll need to provide your bank account and routing numbers, which are shown on the bottom of your checks. Or you can make a one-time Direct Pay payment from your checking account. Your payment will be posted to your account within two business days.

• Check (for businesses only)

  It takes up to 10 business days after we receive your check to process and post it to your account. When paying by check, you need to submit a payment coupon along with your check and mail it to the address on the coupon. Please allow 10 business days plus postage time between the date you mail the payment and your payment due date.

Your payment due date

Your payment due date is based on your billing cycle date.

• If your billing date is on the 15th of the month, your payment is due by the 15th of the following month. 

• If your billing date is on the last day of the month, your payment is due by the last day of the following month.

If you don’t pay your seller fees, your account could be suspended. If your account has been suspended, find out how to reinstate your account
