Selling fees without an eBay Store

• Free listings are available in most categories, but there are some exclusions – see our category pricing list (PDF) - opens in new window or tab for full details.
• The standard free listing entitlement is only available to sellers registered in Australia.
• The following count toward your monthly free listings:
  • The first time you list an item
  • Manually relisted items
  • Automatically relisted auction-style listings, if you're a business seller
  • Fixed price listings renewing every month, if you listed using the advanced listing form
  • Listings that you end early, or we end early
  • Duplicate identical auction-style listings (even if one or more of those listings doesn't appear on eBay immediately).
• Auction-style listings may be automatically relisted up to eight times if they don't sell. Insertion and feature fees are only charged for the original listing for non-business sellers. Automatic relisting is available in most categories, but there are some exclusions – see our category pricing list (PDF) - opens in new window or tab for full details.
• Fixed price listings are "Good 'Til Cancelled" – they renew automatically every month unless all of the items sell, you end the listing, or the listing violates an eBay policy.
  • If you create the listing using the quick listing tool - opens in new window or tab, listing and feature fees are only charged once.
  • If you create the listing using the advanced listing form - opens in new window or tab, listing and feature fees are charged for the original listing and once per month after that.
  • Where an insertion fee applies for listings with multiple items (including listings with variations), it's calculated based on the total start price of your listing, which is the item price multiplied by the quantity. For example, if you list 10 items at $4.00 each, the total start price is $40. If you list 100 items at $4.00 each, the total start price is $400.
• If you choose to list your item in two categories, you'll pay an insertion fee for the second category, regardless of whether you're using a free listing. Any feature fees will be charged twice (once for each category).
• Different insertion fees apply in Motors vehicle categories.

• When you sell an item on eBay, the final value fee is based on the total amount of the sale (item price + postage and handling charges):
  • The item price is the winning bid (for auction-style format listings), the Buy It Now price (for fixed price listings or auctions where the buyer chose a Buy It Now option), or the offer price (if the buyer and seller agree on a price using Best Offer, or the buyer accepts an offer sent by a seller).
  • The postage and handling charges include postage, handling fees and any additional services paid for by the buyer (e.g. Signature on Delivery).
• If you offer or reference your contact information or ask a buyer for their contact information in the context of buying or selling outside of eBay, the final value fee is based on the total amount of the sale, which is determined as follows:
  • Auction-style format: The "total amount of the sale" is the auction start price, the Buy It Now price (if applicable), the reserve price (if applicable), or the price identified between the buyer and seller, whichever is highest.
  • Fixed price format: The "total amount of the sale" is the fixed price or the price identified between the buyer and seller, whichever is highest.
• We may apply an additional final value fee due to either poor seller performance or service metrics, as described above. If an additional final value fee applies:
  • The standard final value fee for the total amount of the sale is increased by 4% (e.g. a 10.9% final value fee becomes 14.9%).
  • Listings will only attract one additional final value fee (i.e. listings that are subject to a 4% additional final value fee due to poor seller performance won't have an additional 4% fee applied due to poor service metrics).
  • The additional final value fee will apply on top of the standard maximum charge per sold item (i.e. the final value fee will be $440 + 4% of the total amount of the sale).
  • We'll indicate which listings are subject to the additional final value fee on your Seller account - opens in new window or tab.
• When you list an item in two categories which have different final value fees, the higher final value fee will apply when your item sells.
• You can request a final value fee credit if an item isn't paid for, or you need to cancel the transaction. Find out more about final value fee credits.
• Different final value fees apply in Motors vehicle categories.

Your account status and payment

• Your listing fee subtotal appears at the bottom of the listing form, before you submit your listing.
• Your monthly invoice summarises your account activity (e.g. fees, payments) and shows the amount due and the payment due date. You can also see your recent account activity for the last four months by viewing your Seller account - opens in new window or tab page.
• We require payment in full each month on accounts with an amount due of $1.00 or more. Learn more about paying your eBay fees.
• If you haven't paid by the due date, you may be billed late fees, your eBay account may be suspended, and you may be responsible for collection and legal related costs.
• If your seller account is suspended for any reason, any amounts owed will become due and payable immediately. eBay reserves the right to immediately charge any amounts you haven't previously disputed to the billing method you're using.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

• If your primary registration address is in Australia, Australian GST of 10% is payable on your eBay fees.
• If you're a business customer and are registered for GST in Australia, you can get a GST exemption if you register your Australian Business Number (ABN) with eBay - opens in new window or tab. Unless you've registered for GST exemption with eBay, your invoice will include GST.
• If you live outside Australia, depending on the tax legislation of your country of residency, local Goods and Services Tax (GST), Value Added Tax (VAT) or similar consumption tax might apply, instead of Australian GST.

Other terms

• 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.
