Selling on eBay is absolutely easy and efficient, and you’ll be charged a few different types of fees depending on the type of item you sell, and whether the item sold or not.
Below are the type of fees applicable for selling on eBay:
Insertion fee (if applicable)
Final value fee (if sold)
PaisaPay Facility Charge (if sold)
Optional Feature fees (if used)
Subscription Fees (if subscribed)
Fees also vary depending on the duration of listing, sale price, listing format and category, and whether you have an eBay Shop. You will also need to pay applicable taxes and service charges. You can see details of all these charges in your invoice, which is generated monthly.
In case your transaction is not completed due to eBay Guarantee Claims, Cancelation by eBay, etc., eBay may refund the Final Value Fees in some cases.
Insertion Fee
Insertion fees are charged per listing depending on the duration selected.
An insertion fee applies whenever you list an item on eBay, even if it doesn't sell.
For listings with multiple items (including listings with variations), you only pay one insertion fee.
If you choose to list your item in a second category, you'll pay an additional insertion fee for the second category.
*Your first 100 listings are not charged an insertion fee (for a duration of 1,3,5 and 7 days only)
Final value fee (FVF)
Final value fees are charged per item sold.
A final value fee applies only when you sell an item.
The fee is based on the selling price of the item (item price + shipping price).
You can check the FVF for your category here.
PaisaPay Facility Charges
PaisaPay Facility Charges are charged per item sold.
The fee is based on the total cost of the item to the buyer, including shipping.
Feature Fees (Optional)
These fees are charged only if you chose any additional features
Subscription Fees (Optional)
These monthly fees only apply if you subscribe to a selling tool such as an eBay Shop.
