Depending on when you created your seller's account, your invoice date is either the 15th of the month or the last day of the month. You'll receive your invoice by email within 5 days of the invoice date. It is not possible to change your invoice due date. The date you receive your invoice determines your payment due date and your automatic payment schedule.
eBay billing cycles
There are 2 billing cycles:
Billing cycle date |
When will I receive my invoice? |
15th of the month |
Between the 16th and 20th of the month |
Last day of the month |
Between the 1st and 5th of the month |
You can locate your invoice date by:
Clicking the Show details link
Looking for the day of the month in the billing cycle column
Payment due date
Your invoice will include your previous month's account activity as well as any past due amounts. Your full payment is due by the next invoice date. For example, if you receive an invoice on 20 May, your payment is due by 15 June.
Important: You don't need to make a payment if you have an automatic payment method on file. To find out if you have an automatic payment method on file already, or if you'd like to
make a one time payment, look at the payment section of
your invoice.
Your payment will be automatically processed and your payment due date met if you:
Have a valid credit card on file
Are signed up for PayPal automatic payments
Are signed up for direct debit payments
If you do not have any of these payment options on your account, you will need to make a payment by the next invoice date. This will keep your account current.

eBay automatic payment schedule
You can have eBay automatically deduct your selling fees from your PayPal account, your bank account or charge these fees to a credit card. The timing of this charge varies, depending on your invoice date and your selected payment method (see Selecting, changing or removing an automatic payment).
Note: Sellers on eBay.ie can currently only use PayPal, not a credit card or bank account, for automatic seller fee payments

When will my credit card be charged, or bank account be debited? |
When will my PayPal account be debited? |
