eBay Pro selling fees

There are no monthly fees associated with a Pro Starter plan. A monthly subscription cost applies to Pro Basic, Pro Featured and Pro Anchor plans.

When selling with an eBay Pro plan, you'll pay transaction fees (final value fees) when your items sell. The amount you're charged depends on your Pro plan. We won't generally charge a fee to list an item, unless you choose a listing upgrade feature.

Most fees and other selling costs, such as postage costs for labels you buy on eBay and refunds to buyers, are deducted from your sales proceeds before your payout is initiated. Learn more about how fees and selling costs are charged.

About selling with eBay Pro

An eBay Pro plan gives you access to expanded selling options, as well as advanced tools to manage and promote your listings.

Benefits of an eBay Pro plan on eBay.com.au include:

• 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
• Tools for bulk selling, including access to multi-quantity listings, bulk listing tools and product research tools
• If you subscribe to a Pro Basic, Featured or Anchor plan, you'll pay lower transaction fees (final value fees) compared to a Pro Starter plan and have access to volume pricing, Discounts Manager and third-party integrations

For full details of what's included in each plan, see our eBay Pro - opens in new window or tab page in the Seller Centre.

Auto-upgrade to Pro Starter experience

The fees for the Pro Starter plan can also apply to you if you haven't subscribed to an eBay Pro subscription but you're upgraded to the Pro Starter plan as your default selling experience based on your annual sales. This plan has no monthly subscription cost.

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. You'll have access to the features available in the Pro Starter plan (e.g. expanded postage and payout options), and the selling fees for the Pro Starter plan on this page will apply.
   
• If your total sales is AU $25,000 or less and you currently have a Pro plan, you'll have the option to cancel your plan and move to our free selling experience. The cancellation takes effect on the 1st of the following month. You'll continue to pay transaction fees until then if your items sell.
   
• If your total sales is AU $25,000 or less and you don't have a Pro plan, you're eligible to continue in our free selling experience but you can manually subscribe to a Pro plan to access expanded selling options.

Listing fees and optional listing upgrade fees

All sellers get 250,000 free listings per month on eBay.com.au, but some limits and exclusions apply. Optional listing upgrades, like adding a subtitle, can help to attract more buyers.

You'll be able to review any applicable fees on the listing form before submitting your listing. Listing and optional upgrade fees are non-refundable, even if your item doesn't sell or you remove the upgrade from your listing.

Relists and renewals:

• Auction-style listings may be automatically relisted up to eight times if they don't sell. Any applicable listing or optional upgrade fees are only charged for the first listing.
• Fixed price listings are "Good 'Til Cancelled" – they renew automatically once per month unless all of the items sell, you end the listing, or the listing violates an eBay policy. Any applicable listing fees or optional upgrade fees are charged for the original listing and once per month after that.
• If you choose to manually relist your item, listing and optional upgrade fees apply again.

Transaction fees

Transaction fees apply when an item is sold and include a variable final value fee, plus a fixed charge per order. The final value fee is calculated as a percentage of the total amount of the sale per item (which includes the item price, postage and handling charges, and any tax or other applicable fees).

Final value fee percentages vary depending on the sale price, listing category and your eBay Pro plan. If the total amount of the sale is over $4,000 you'll pay a lower percentage for the portion of the sale price above $4,000.

For items that have been listed in two categories, the higher of the two final value fees will be charged.

When calculating the total amount of the sale per item:

• The item price is defined as the winning bid, the Buy It Now price or the offer price agreed between the buyer and seller, and does not include the value of any eBay voucher, coupon or discount offer applied by the buyer at checkout.
• Postage includes postage charges, handling fees and any additional services paid for by the buyer (e.g. Signature on Delivery).
• An order is defined as any number of items purchased by the same buyer at checkout with the same delivery method.
• If the buyer redeems a coded coupon provided by the seller of the item, the final value fee will be calculated based on the discounted total sale amount.

If your item doesn't sell, you usually don't pay transaction fees. However, if you offer or reference your contact information to another user or ask a buyer for their contact information, in the context of buying or selling outside of eBay, we charge a final value fee for introducing you to the buyer. In this case, the final value fee is based on the higher of the fixed price, auction start price, Buy It Now price (if different to the auction start price), reserve price (if applicable) or the price identified between the buyer and seller.

Fees for not meeting seller performance requirements

Additional fees will apply to your sales in the following circumstances:

• When your seller performance is evaluated as Below Standard: If your seller evaluation on the 20th of a month shows that you are not meeting our minimum performance standards, you'll be charged a fee of 5.5% (incl. GST) for items sold in all categories during the following calendar month
  • If your account has been evaluated as Below Standard for four or more consecutive months, this fee will increase to 6.6% (incl. GST) until your seller level improves
• When your rate of 'Item not as described' returns is Very High: If your service metrics evaluation on the 20th of a month indicates that your rate of 'Item not as described' returns is Very High in one or more categories compared to your peers, you'll be charged a fee of 5.5% (incl. GST) for items sold in those categories during the following calendar month
  • If a particular rate has been evaluated as Very High for four or more consecutive months, this fee will increase to 6.6% (incl. GST) until your rate improves

These fees are calculated on the total amount of the sale and are automatically deducted from your sales proceeds. The total amount of the sale includes the item price, postage and handling charges, and any tax or other applicable fees. We'll indicate which listings are subject to an additional fee on your Seller account - opens in new window or tab.

You can review your performance metrics and status at any time in your Seller standards dashboard - opens in new window or tab and Service metrics dashboard - opens in new window or tab.

Note: If your account is Below Standard and you're rated Very High in your rate of 'Item not as described' return requests, you'll only be charged the applicable additional fee for Below Standard.

Learn more about our Seller standards policy and Service metrics policy, including how you can monitor and improve your seller performance.

International sales fee

If your registered address is in Australia, we charge an international sales fee of 1.1% (incl. GST) if the delivery address for the item (entered by the buyer during checkout) is outside Australia.

This fee is calculated on the total amount of the sale and is automatically deducted from your sales proceeds. The total amount of the sale includes the item price, postage and handling charges, and any tax or other applicable fees.

If you don't want international buyers to purchase your items, you can learn how to exclude international delivery locations in our International selling policy.

If your registered address is not in Australia, please refer to the fee page for your country or region of residence for your international sales fee information.

Dispute fees

If you're found responsible for a chargeback or other disputed amount as per our policies, we charge a dispute fee of $24.20 (incl. GST) for each dispute.

Seller currency conversion charge

When you create listings or sell items on an international eBay site, eBay may convert your funds to a different currency in order to collect amounts owed by you to eBay, or to payout funds due to you.

For example, if your registered address is in Australia and you create a listing on eBay.de for which fees are due (such as insertion and/or optional listing upgrade fees), eBay will convert your funds from AUD to EUR using the transaction exchange rate applicable at the time of listing, in order to collect these fees. When the item sells on eBay.de, eBay will calculate your payout amount by converting the sales proceeds from EUR to AUD using the transaction exchange rate applicable at the time of the sale.

If eBay converts your funds, the conversion will be completed at the transaction exchange rate we set for the relevant currency exchange. eBay's transaction exchange rate is composed of a base exchange rate plus a conversion charge. The conversion charge is a fixed percentage applied to the base exchange rate and retained by eBay. The base exchange rate reflects rates within the wholesale currency markets applicable to the currency pairing on the day of the conversion, or the prior business day. If exchange rates are set by law or regulation, the base exchange rate reflects the government reference rates.

If your registered address is in Australia, the seller currency conversion charge applied and retained by eBay is 3%. If your registered address is not in Australia, please refer to the fee page for your country or region of residence for your seller currency conversion charge information.
