It's now free to sell on eBay.com.au, so you won't pay transaction fees when items sell. Here are some key things to know:
- Free selling is not available to Pro sellers, sellers outside Australia, or sellers who have over AU $25,000 in sales in the past 12 months
- 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
- As part of our free selling experience, you'll generally be required to buy a shipping label on eBay to send eligible items
- To access advanced selling features and expanded postage and payout options, you can subscribe to a Pro plan - opens in new window or tab. We offer 4 eBay Pro plans to choose from, including a Pro Starter plan that has no monthly cost

Sign up for an eBay account - opens in new window or tab
For more information, see our page on signing up for an eBay account.
Once you've created your eBay account, you'll also need to complete seller registration in order to receive payouts. Learn more about getting paid on eBay.
You may register to sell on eBay if you have a verified address in any of the countries, regions, or overseas territories listed below. If your country or region is not listed, you are unfortunately not eligible to sell on eBay at this time.
Tip
While you're starting out, funds from your eBay sales will be placed on hold until the buyer receives their item. This means you'll typically receive funds from your sales a few days after delivery confirmation. Once you've built a positive selling history, you can qualify to receive your funds faster.
Digital Services Act (DSA) verification
Business sellers or sole proprietorships selling to buyers in the EU Single Market are required to be fully verified before listing an item due to the Digital Services Act.
What will verification entail?
- eBay will/can verify the following:
- Phone and email
- Personal and business information
- Bank account information
How and when will the verification happen?
- For new EU business sellers, the verification process kicks off immediately after onboarding. As a part of the onboarding process, new sellers on any eBay EU marketplace agree to comply with all EU regulations
- Existing EU business sellers have agreed to eBay's User Agreement and their obligation to comply with the laws of the countries in which they sell. A statement of compliance is shown on all listings.
- For non-EU business sellers, the verification requirements will only kick into action if the user lists an item actively in an EU country. This means that the non-EU business sellers will have to navigate to an eBay EU site (e.g. eBay.de or eBay.fr), sign in, and actively list an item on the website. Upon listing, the seller will be accelerated through personal, business and bank account verification
What are the consequences of not passing verification?
- New EU business sellers won't be able to list until they have passed verification
- Existing EU business sellers and non-EU business sellers listing actively will experience payout blocks during the verification process if there is an issue with bank verification
