eBay charges fees to list your item on the site. The cost depends on the total of fees calculated based on the starting price, selling price, selling format, optional listing upgrades, category, and site. The eBay fee pages have tables to help you figure out how much it will cost you to sell your item.

If you're not familiar with eBay's fees structure, reviewing a simple example will help you understand how to use the fees tables to calculate the cost of selling an item.

Insertion fee
If you want to sell an item on eBay, you must first create a listing using the Sell Your Item form. When you list an item, you are charged an insertion Fee.

Note: There is no insertion fee for the Books & Magazines, Movies & Music and Video & Computer Games categories.

Final Value Fee
If the item sells, you are charged a Final Value Fee. The Final Value Fee is based on the final amount the item sells for. The Final Value Fee does not include shipping costs.

For example, if you sold an item in the Mobiles category for Rs. 7,250.00. Using the Final Value Fee table, your Final Value Fee is Rs. 72.5 (1% of Rs. 7,250.00).

Listing Upgrades
Additionally, if you add a subtitle or an extra picture to your listing, a charge would be added for each listing upgrade. The charges also depend up on the category and format you list in.

When you sell an item, you can review your fees on the Sell Your Item form before you submit your listing.
