eBay Pro plans and benefits
As a Pro seller, you'll benefit from:
- More flexible postage options – access our discounted rates when you buy labels on eBay, or use your own carrier and specify costs on your listings accordingly
- Access to scheduled payouts
- A customisable store and a unique URL that you can use in your marketing
- Advanced selling features such as multi-quantity listings, bulk listing tools and product research tools
- Buyer Protection included on your listings at no additional cost to your buyer
We offer 4 eBay Pro plans to choose from – Starter, Basic, Featured and Anchor. The Pro Starter plan has no monthly cost and is only available to sellers with a registration address in Australia.
With a Pro Basic, Featured or Anchor plan, you'll pay a monthly subscription fee but lower transaction fees (final value fees) compared to a Pro Starter plan. You'll also have access to powerful growth and marketing tools such as volume pricing, Discounts Manager and third-party integrations.
To help you decide which one is best for you, check out our eBay Pro - opens in new window or tab page in the Seller Centre for full details of what's included in each plan, and see our eBay Pro selling fees to understand the fees that apply with each plan.
How to subscribe to a Pro plan
Once you've set up your seller account and decided which Pro plan is right for you, here's how to subscribe:
- Go to the Subscriptions tab in My eBay or Seller Hub.
- Choose the Pro plan you'd like and hit Select.
- Enter a name for your store and select Continue.
- Review your subscription details and select Subscribe.
Auto-upgrade to Pro Starter
If your registered address is in Australia and your total sales on eBay in the past 12 full calendar months is over AU $25,000, you'll be automatically upgraded to the Pro Starter plan. This plan has no monthly subscription cost, but transaction fees (final value fees) apply when your items sell. Learn more about eBay Pro selling fees.
Each month, we calculate your total sales on eBay using data from the preceding 12 full calendar months. For example, the calculation in August is based on sales from the previous 1 August – 31 July. We add up your sales across all eBay sites, using the total amount of each sale (including the item price, postage and any applicable tax).
If your total sales is over AU $25,000 and you don't have a Pro plan, we'll notify you on the 20th of the month before upgrading you to a Pro Starter plan from the 1st of the following month.
Once your plan is active, you'll have access to the features available in the Pro Starter plan (e.g. expanded postage and payout options). We'll reach out to you by email and in Seller Hub to remind you to set your store name. Learn more about setting up and managing your store.
Tip
You can choose to manually subscribe to a different Pro plan at any time. However, you won't be eligible to move to our free selling experience unless your annual total sales falls to AU $25,000 or below at a future monthly calculation.
How to track your sales
You can track your sales activity using the Performance tab in Seller Hub or the eBay app.
