Insertion Fees

About Insertion Fees

  • An insertion fee is a listing fee. It is the price eBay charges for listing your item for sale.

  • This fee is charged to your seller's account at the time of listing.

  • As with a newspaper ad, you need to pay this basic listing fee, even if your item is not sold. If your item sells, a final value fee is also charged to your seller's account.

  • Insertion fees are not refundable.

Factors that affect Insertion fees

  1. Type of listings.

    • Single items : The insertion fee is based on the starting price or reserve price. For fixed price listings, the fee is based on the Buy It Now price.

    • Multiple Multi-quantity fixed price listings: Insertion fees are the starting or fixed item price multiplied by the quantity of items you offer.

    • Listings for eBay Motors, Classified Ads, Real Estate, and eBay Shops also have Listing Fees. View Fee table

  2. Optional listing features.

    • Reserve price auction-style listings

    • Auction-style listings with a Buy It Now option

    • Scheduled Listings

    • Listing upgrades (including Bold, Item Subtitle, Highlight, Featured Plus, Homepage Featured and more)
