As a seller, when you want to list items to sell on eBay India, we give you the option of being a Shop Subscriber (having a personalised shop) listed on the site or be a Non Shop Subscriber. Both the formats as a seller as well as type of store on eBay attract different fee structures. However, a minimal Insertion Fee is charged to both when the item is listed and after the item is sold a Final Value Fee is also charged accordingly. Fees given below are applicable from 17th June, 2011. Further details are as mentioned below:

Key Points to Remember
Insertion fees does not include the cost of listing upgrades. Please refer to the listing upgrades section for feature fees.
The first 100 listings created by any seller on eBay will not be charged the insertion fee. While creating the first 100 listings:
If a seller lists an item or relists items individually no insertion fee is displayed or charged.
If a seller uses Bulk Relist in My eBay, the insertion fees will be calculated and displayed on the screen but will not be charged to the account. This can be verified after submitting the listing in the seller’s account.
Final Value Fees
The Final Value Fee for Multiple Item Fixed Price listing is calculated per item sold, based on the final sale price of the item.
Minimum Final Value Fee of Rs. 3.00 will be charged.
