eBay Stores Basic Store Subscription |
|
|
The fee for the Basic eBay Store subscription will be raised from $9.95 to $15.95 per month. The subscription fee for Featured and Anchor Stores will be unchanged.
As Stores subscriptions are always pre-billed at the start of a billing cycle, you'll notice the fee increase on your invoices sent in February. On February invoices, you will be charged $9.95 for the current Basic subscription plus a pro-rated fee increase to cover the period of February 18 to February 28, during which the increased monthly subscription applies. For example, those Basic Store sellers who receive their invoices on February 1st will see a charge of $12.31. Basic Store owners billed on the 16th will see a charge of $15.52
