New final value fees for Basic, Premium, Anchor, and Enterprise Store sellers

eBay gets a cut when your auction sells. After your auction or fixed-price listing ends, eBay charges the Final Value fee to your account in a matter of minutes. Final Value fees on auctions are pretty easy to figure out. If your item sells, you pay eBay 9% of the selling price to a maximum of $50.00.

14.55% on total amount of the sale up to $2,500 calculated per item. 2.35% on the portion of the sale over $2,500.

Final value fee increases for all sellers in select categories. As we move away from upfront insertion fees, starting April 1, 2021 we’ll increase final value fees 0.2% in select selling categories.
