What are the types of eBay seller stores? How is eBay's commission collected by category?

eBay seller stores are divided into three types: ordinary stores, advanced stores, and super stores.

The basic fees of the eBay platform are generally composed of listing fees and transaction fees. One of the differences between non-store sellers and store sellers is that store sellers need to pay a certain store platform fee to eBay when opening a store, so the platform fee of store sellers is composed of three aspects: store fee + listing fee + transaction fee.

The store payment model is also divided into monthly or annual payment, and the fees charged for different store types are also different.

The monthly payment for an ordinary store is US$24.95 per month, and the annual payment is US$19.95 per month; the monthly payment for a premium store is US$74.95 per month, and the annual payment is US$59.95 per month; the monthly payment for a super store is US$349.95 per month, and the annual payment is US$299.95 per month.
