Fees for selling vehicles on eBay Motors

The fees for selling a vehicle on eBay Motors are different from the fees for selling items in other categories. The amount you pay depends on the listing package you choose – Basic, Premium, or Plus. Each listing package offers different levels of bundled features for a set fee.

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

Package pricing for vehicle listings

When you list a vehicle, you're offered a package of features for an all-inclusive fee. All sellers have three listing package options to choose from (Basic, Plus, and Premium) and you can select either auction or fixed price format for your listing. There are no additional listing upgrade options other than those included in the selected listing package, and we don't charge a final value fee when your vehicle sells.

Deposit processing fee

When you list a vehicle on eBay with a deposit requirement, we charge a deposit processing fee of 2.8% of the deposit amount when the vehicle sells and the buyer pays the deposit in checkout. The deposit processing fee is deducted from the deposit before the remaining funds are paid out to you.

Example of how this works:

Deposit paid by the buyer

$500

Deposit processing fee (2.8%)

$14.00

Deposit funds paid out to the seller

$486.00

Deposits paid by buyers with a registered address outside the US may also be subject to an International fee.

Subscriptions for vehicle dealers

We offer several subscription programs for licensed vehicle dealers. For more information, and to subscribe, please contact us at 866-322-9227 or motorstraining@ebay.com.

Other terms and conditions

We always want to make sure we're very clear about the fees we charge, so here are other details you should be aware of:

  • If you are a professional dealer on a monthly vehicles subscription, you can include a vehicle history report in your listings by subscribing to AutoCheck
  • Listing package fees apply to each listing you create, are charged at the time of listing or relisting (if you opt to auto-relist), as applicable, and are nonrefundable. Fee amounts are based on the terms in effect when the listing goes live
  • The fees on this page apply to listings on eBay.com. If you list an item on another eBay site (for example, eBay.com.au or eBay.co.uk), the fees for that site will apply
  • All fees are in US dollars
  • There may be instances when your listing doesn't immediately appear in search results. This can take up to 24 hours. We can't guarantee exact listing durations
  • 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 page

The fees for selling a vehicle on eBay are different from those in other categories, and are determined by the listing package you choose.
