The fees for listing and selling a vehicle are different to those in other categories. We charge an insertion fee when you create a Motors listing, and a final value fee when your vehicle sells.

The fees on this page apply to listings within the Vehicles - opens in new window or tab categories.

Our regular fees will apply if you are selling parts and accessories. Please see the appropriate page below:

Read our full terms for fees when selling a vehicle

  • You can choose to enable automatic relisting of auction-style listings if they don't sell. Fixed price listings are "Good 'Til Cancelled" – they renew automatically every month unless the item sells, you end the listing, or the listing violates an eBay policy. Insertion fees and any applicable feature fees are charged each time an item is auto-relisted or renews.
  • Insertion fees and optional feature fees are non-refundable once charged, even if your item doesn't sell or you remove the feature from your listing. However, if you had selected the reserve price option and your item sells, the reserve price fee will be credited and the final value fee applied instead.
  • If the buyer receives a refund, you may be eligible for fee credits.
  • If your item doesn't sell, you usually don't pay a final value fee. However, if we determine that you may have completed a sale outside of eBay, we'll charge a final value fee for introducing you to the buyer.
  • If your seller evaluation on the 20th of a month shows that you are not meeting our minimum performance standards (i.e. your seller level is 'Below Standard'), you'll be charged an additional 5.5% (incl. GST) on the total sale price for items sold in all categories during the following calendar month. We'll indicate which listings are subject to the additional final value fee on your Seller account - opens in new window or tab.

Additional terms and conditions for eBay fees

Billing and payment

  • Most fees and selling costs will be automatically deducted from your sales proceeds prior to payout. Details of the fees or costs will be on your Financial statement.
  • If your funds awaiting payout are insufficient to cover your selling costs, we'll charge the payment method you've set up on your seller account or otherwise collect fees and selling costs from you as set out in the Payments Terms of Use - opens in new window or tab.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

  • If your registered address is in Australia, Australian GST of 10% is payable on your eBay fees. Unless you provided eBay with your ABN and registered for tax exempt status - opens in new window or tab, we'll charge your eBay fees inclusive of GST.
  • If you live outside Australia, depending on the tax legislation of your country or region of residency, local Goods and Services Tax (GST), Value Added Tax (VAT) or similar consumption tax might apply, instead of Australian GST.
  • Details of any tax charged on your seller fees will be on your monthly invoice.
  • For more information about how tax may apply when buying and selling on eBay, please refer to our Tax policy.

Other terms

  • Fee amounts are based on the terms in effect when the listing goes live and when it renews.
  • The fees on this page apply to listings on eBay.com.au. If you list an item directly on another eBay site (e.g. eBay.com or eBay.co.uk), the fees for that site will apply.
  • All fees are in Australian dollars, unless otherwise stated.
  • There may be instances when your listing doesn't appear in search results until several hours after you've created it. eBay can't guarantee exact listing durations.
  • We may place third-party advertisements on any web page within our site.
