Selecting a source of payment for seller fees and donations
To facilitate the payment of fees and the donation collection, you will need to place a credit card on file with MissionFish, as well as credit, debit card, and bank account on file with eBay.

• eBay collects seller fees in two different payment cycles (the 15th and 30th of the month). When you register on eBay you will automatically be assigned a payment cycle. Typically, fees are collected in the month following your transaction. Review the payment and billing cycle.
• After the auction closes, you are invited to make your contribution through the MissionFish payment interface. If you have not made your contribution by the second Monday following the successful close of your listing, MissionFish will charge your credit card for the designated amount.

TIP: As a rule of thumb, eBay selling fees typically range from 3%-7% of the item value. Learn more about eBay selling fees.
