Payment Methods

  • PayPal: PayPal is a convenient electronic payment service that enables you to automatically pay your eBay fees.

  • Direct Debit: This option an easy way to make payment on your eBay account. Simply provide eBay with your Bank/Building Society account number and bank sort code, and eBay will automatically send a request to your Bank/Building Society to obtain authority to deduct your monthly invoice amount from your account.

    Please allow for 19 days for your bank account information to be approved and established for automatic monthly payments. The amount to be debited from your bank account will be your monthly invoice amount. This debit will occur within 7-10 days after the receipt of your invoice.

    Sign up/update my Direct Debit information

    Please note that all declined Direct Debit payments from your Bank are subject to a £5.00 administration fee.

  • Credit / Debit Card on file: Each month, eBay will automatically charge your invoice amount directly to your credit card (Visa or MasterCard). Learn more about making one-time and ongoing payments using your credit or debit card by clicking the “Seller Account” link in the “My Account” area of My eBay.

  • Cheque and postal order: When making payment by cheque or postal order, you must submit a payment coupon along with your cheque or postal order and mail it to the address on the coupon.

  • Coordinating One-Time and Automatic Payments Before submitting a one-time payment, review the payment schedule to see when your automatic payments are deducted from your account. You should leave at least 5 days between any one-time payment and your automatic scheduled payment to avoid duplicate payments.

    • Failure to Make Payment on Your eBay Account
      eBay requires payment in full each month on accounts with balances of £1.00 or greater. eBay may suspend your account for non-payment of eBay fees. If you have not paid your outstanding eBay fees after our reminders and warnings, eBay reserves the right to refer your account to an outside collection agency for collection of the outstanding eBay fees. Please note that the collection agency will also charge you a proportionate and reasonable fee for the collection of the unpaid eBay fees, which will vary according to the amount owed and which will be payable in addition to the outstanding eBay fees
