It's now free for Australia-based sellers with up to $25,000 in sales over the past 12 months to sell on eBay.com.au. This means eligible sellers won't pay transaction fees (final value fees) when items sell. Some fees may still apply based on your selling activity, such as when using optional listing upgrades or when an item is being delivered outside Australia. Note that as part of our free selling experience, you'll generally have to buy labels on eBay to send your items.

Different fees, including transaction fees, apply if:

This page was updated on 27 March 2026 with new fee terms. Our previous selling fees without an eBay Store were effective until 11 May 2026.

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 the funds are paid out to you. Learn more about how fees and selling costs are charged.

Eligibility for free selling

To qualify for free selling on eBay.com.au, you need to:

Have a registration address in Australia, and
Sell without an eBay Pro plan, and
Sell AU $25,000 or less on eBay in the past 12 months

Note that as part of our free selling experience, you'll generally have to buy labels on eBay to send your eligible items.

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. The Pro Starter plan has no monthly cost, but you'll pay transaction fees (final value fees) when your items sell. Learn more about eBay Pro selling fees that will apply to you.
If your total sales is AU $25,000 or less and you don't have a Pro plan, you're eligible for free selling.
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 free selling. The cancellation takes effect on the 1st of the following month. You'll continue to pay transaction fees until then if your items sell.

Tip
If your total sales is over AU $25,000, the Pro Starter plan operates as your default selling experience. The Pro Starter plan has no monthly cost. If you have a Pro Basic, Featured or Anchor plan, you can choose to move to the Pro Starter plan and the change takes effect from the 1st of the following month.

Fees for not meeting seller performance requirements

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) on the total sale amount for items for items sold in all categories during the following calendar month
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.

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.

Learn more about our Seller standards policy and Service metrics policy.

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.

Fees for sellers residing outside Australia

In addition to the dispute fees and seller currency conversion charges detailed above, the following fees apply to sellers whose registration address is outside Australia and who don't have an eBay Pro subscription.

Different fees apply when listing in Vehicle categories.

Listing fees and optional listing upgrade fees

All sellers get 250,000 free auction or fixed price 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.

If you choose to manually relist your item, optional listing upgrade fees apply again. We don't charge these fees again for your listings that are set to automatically renew or relist.

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). 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. These fees are automatically deducted from your sales proceeds.

Transaction fee type/category	Fee (incl. GST)
Fixed fee – all categories Applies to all transactions, in addition to fees below	$0.30 per order
Variable final value fee – most categories Calculated per item, based on the total amount of the sale (item price + postage + any applicable tax)	13.4% of the sale amount up to $4,000 plus 2.5% of the sale amount over $4,000
Variable final value fee – Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) category	5.5% of the total sale amount
Flat fee – Services category	$44.00

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.

Transaction fee example

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.
