Frequently Asked Questions
What fees does eBay charge sellers in 2026?
For standard non-store accounts, eBay charges a Final Value Fee of 13.25% on the total amount of the sale (item price + shipping charged to buyer + estimated sales tax) plus a $0.30 per-order transaction fee ($0.40 for orders under $10).
Does eBay charge final value fees on sales tax collected from the buyer?
Yes. eBay calculates the Final Value Fee on the entire gross transaction total including state sales tax automatically remitted by eBay to state governments. On average, this adds roughly 0.8% to 1.0% to your effective seller fee.
How does having an eBay Store subscription reduce seller fees?
Subscribing to an eBay Basic Store ($21.95/month) lowers the Final Value Fee from 13.25% down to 12.35% for general merchandise, and down to 7.0% - 9.0% for electronics and computers, making a store subscription profitable once monthly sales exceed $2,500.
What is Promoted Listings Standard?
Promoted Listings is eBay's internal advertising platform where you set an ad rate percentage (e.g. 2% to 10%). You only pay the advertising fee if a buyer clicks on your promoted ad and purchases your item within 30 days.
