eBay describes insertion fees and final value fees as two main selling-fee types, while Store subscriptions, advertising, international charges and other costs can also apply.
Core fee layers
- Insertion: listing charges can apply after the applicable zero-insertion allowance or under specific listing conditions.
- Final value: generally combines a percentage of the total amount of the sale with a per-order component; rates vary by category and seller setup.
- Store: Store subscriptions can change allowances and some fee structures.
- Other selling costs: promoted listings, international fees, shipping labels, refunds or dispute-related costs can affect actual proceeds.
Category matters
Do not use one universal eBay percentage for every SKU. Category, Store status, seller performance and other conditions can change the applicable economics.
