Selling on eBay is fun and easy. For as little as 15 pence you can list your item on eBay and market it to millions of potential buyers. Before getting into the mechanics of how to start your own listings on eBay, there are a few things you should know.
Fees
There are three types of fees charged when selling on eBay:
- Insertion Fee
— A non-refundable fee will be charged to your account when you list your item on eBay. This fee varies by the type of listing you choose and the starting bid on your listing but will generally range between £0.15 and £1.25.
- Additional Option Fee
— This fee is charged when you choose one or more of the optional seller features, such as having your listing appear as a featured listing on eBay's homepage.
- Final Value Fee
— You will be charged this fee at the end of the listing based upon the final sale price (final value) of your item. This fee is only applicable if the listing closes successfully and it is generally a small percentage of the final value of the item.
