What are the fees for opening a store on eBay?

It is completely free to register with eBay, and there is no minimum spending limit. All fees will depend on your usage.

This section will take eBay US as an example to give you a brief overview of eBay fees.

Basically, eBay charges two types of basic fees to sellers on the platform: an insertion fee when you create a listing and a final value fee when your product is sold. These fees are determined based on the product's selling price, listing format, the category you selected when listing, whether you have selected some upgrade features for the listing, and your account performance standards. Of course, if you need to end an auction early, there may be corresponding fees.

If you select some upgrade features when posting a listing, corresponding optional upgrade feature fees will also be incurred.

If you have an eBay Store subscription, you will also need to pay store fees for your store.

In addition, you also have the opportunity to choose eBay's Promoted listing advertising service and pay the corresponding fees.

Next, we will discuss these costs one by one.

Listing Fee

About the listing fee after selecting the second category

When you list an item on eBay, eBay will charge a fee for each item and each category, which is called the listing fee. If you select a second category in your listing,

About the number of free listings

Every month, you will get at least 50 free listings (Zero insertion fee, ZIF). If you subscribe to an eBay store, you will get more free listings. You only need to pay the listing fee for listings exceeding this number.

About the listing fees for products with multiple attributes

For multi-attribute product listings, you only need to pay one listing fee per listing.

Listing fees for Good 'Til Cancelled listings (GTC listings)

GTC listings will automatically cycle online every 30 days, unless the product in the listing is sold out, or the seller ends the listing, or the listing violates certain eBay policies and is removed. Therefore, eBay charges a listing fee every 30 days.

Final value fee

When your product is sold, eBay will charge you a final value fee. The final value fee is charged based on a certain percentage of the total amount paid by the buyer, including the product fee and shipping and handling fees. Please note that if your account performs poorly and falls into the below standard level, your final value fee will increase by 4%.

Optional upgrade fee for listings

When listing a product, you can select some features, such as

Bold font

Second Category

subtitle

1-day or 3-day auction duration

Reserve Price

other

You need to pay extra for features, but these upgraded features can make your listings more attractive to buyers. eBay charges these listing upgrades per listing, per category, regardless of whether the product is sold, and these fees are not included in the number of free listings per month.

Generally speaking, if you are a non-store seller, you can set the pre-release time in the listing for free. If you have subscribed to a store, you need to pay $0.1 for this pre-release time function.

Shop Fees

You can order an eBay store on eBay. The related ordering fees and the benefits brought by the store vary depending on the type of store ordered.

Once you order a store, you will get more monthly listings, lower listing fees for the excess listings, and lower transaction fees than those without a store. You will also have the opportunity to get some additional tools to help you manage your eBay business more effectively and conveniently. The other fee structure is the same as that of non-store sellers, mainly including: listing fees, transaction fees, listing upgrade feature fees, and promoted listing advertising service fees.

eBay US site provides 5 different types of stores: Starter, Basic, Premium, Anchor and Enterprise. When you place your first order, you need to choose a monthly subscription or an annual subscription. No matter which one you choose, eBay will charge you a monthly subscription fee.

The charging standards for listing fees, number of free listings, transaction fees, and listing upgrade function fees for stores of different levels.

Promoted listing advertising service fees

You can choose to use eBay promoted listings advertising service to give your products more exposure. Promoted listings can have the opportunity to push your products to more potential buyers, and you only need to pay advertising fees for those products that are sold through promoted listing ads. This fee can be set by you (usually starting at 1% of the product price)

Now more and more domestic friends are engaged in cross-border e-commerce. How to reduce the payment fee is a very important thing, especially for sellers who have just started to sell on Amazon.
