eBay Motors UK Fee Changes
At eBay Motors UK we are committed to offering you good value and a great user experience. We are changing the fee structure to bring it more in line with the rest of the eBay site. From January 20th 2004, we will be revising Vehicle Final Value Fees and the Vehicle Reserve Fees.

There will be no change to the Vehicle insertion fee. This will remain at £6 for private sellers (incl VAT) and £5.11 for business sellers (excl VAT).

Changes to Final Value Fee
The Vehicle Final Value Fee will be changed from a flat fixed fee to a scale based on the Final Value of the Item. This brings the vehicles fee structure more in line with the rest of the eBay site. These changes will mean that for some vehicles prices will decrease, for some vehicles prices will increase, and for some vehicles prices will remain the same. The new Motors Final Value Fees will be:

For Private sellers (VAT incl)

Final Value	Old Final Value Fee (inc VAT at 17.5%)	New Final Value Fee (inc VAT at 17.5%)
£0.01 - £2,999.99	£18	£15
£3,000 - £5,999.99	£18	0.5% of the Final Value
£6000.00 +	£18	£30

For business registered sellers (VAT excl)

Final Value	Old Final Value Fee (inc VAT at 17.5%)	New Final Value Fee (inc VAT at 17.5%)
£0.01 - £2,999.99	£15.32	£12.77
£3,000 - £5,999.99	£15.32	0.5% of the Final Value
£6000.00 +	£15.32	£25.53

If you are a business owner and use your eBay account for business purposes only, you can register for a VAT exemption on eBay fees. For further information on the VAT exemption process click here or read our FAQs.

eBay understands that fees directly impact our members, and we take care to ensure that any decisions to change fees are made only after careful consideration of this impact. These changes will help us continue to sustain and develop a thriving global marketplace, while balancing the needs of our buyers and sellers around the world.
