Depending on when you created your seller's account, your invoice date is either the 15th of the month or the last day of the month. You'll receive your invoice by email within five days of the invoice date. It is not possible to change your invoice due date. The date you receive your invoice determines your payment due date and your automatic payment schedule.

• To find out your invoice date, your current balance and see details of specific charges on your account, go to your Account Status page or see Viewing Your Account Status and Invoices.

• For automatic payment questions, see Selecting, Changing or Removing an Automatic Payment Method.

• For late payment charges, see Payment requirements.

eBay billing cycles

The following are the two billing cycles.

Your invoice date is located by going to your account status, clicking the "Show Details" link, and  looking for the day of the month in the Billing cycle column.

Payment due date

Your invoice will include your previous month's account activity as well as any past due amounts. Your full payment is due by the next invoice date. For example, if you receive an invoice on May 20th, your payment is due by June 15th.

Important: You do not need to make a payment if you have an automatic payment method on file. To find out if you have an automatic payment method on file already, or if you need to make a one-time payment, look at the Payment section of your invoice.

Your payment will be automatically processed and your payment due date met if you:

• Have a valid credit card on file.

• Are signed up for PayPal automatic payments.

• Are signed up for eBay Direct Pay payments.

If you do not have any of these payment options on your account, you will need to make a payment by the next invoice date. This will keep your account current. Learn more about how to make a one-time payment or add an automatic payment method to your account.

eBay automatic payment schedule

You can have eBay automatically deduct your selling fees from your PayPal account, your checking account, or charge these fees to a credit card. The timing of this charge varies, depending on your invoice date and your selected payment method (see Selecting, Changing or Removing an Automatic Payment).

Note: In the event your seller's account is suspended for any reason, any amount due on your account will immediately become due and payable. eBay reserves the right to immediately charge any amount you have not previously disputed to the payment method that you are using.

Payment requirements

• eBay requires payment in full each month on accounts with an amount due of $1.00 or more.

• If you have not paid your amount due by the payment due date each month, you will be billed a late payment charge of 1.5% of the balance past due or the highest amount permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower.

• This charge will be applied on the day after the payment due date. It will be applied each month until the overdue amount is paid.

• If your account becomes past due, your account may be suspended for non-payment, and you may be responsible for collection costs.

• For accounts over 180 days past due, action may include deducting the amount owed from your PayPal account balance.
