Basic Fees

To open an eBay Shop, you pay a monthly subscription fee. Each item you list in your eBay Shop incurs an Insertion Fee and, if it sells, a Final Value Fee. As a Shops subscriber, you will get reduced rates on Insertion Fees for Buy It Now listings. The level of fee discount you receive depends on which Shop level you subscribe to. The fees shown here apply only to Shops opened on eBay.co.uk.

Learn more about the requirements to open a Shop and the benefits you receive with each Shop subscription level.

Note: Shops subscriptions are for a minimum 30-day period.

Insertion Fees for Shops Buy It Now Listings

The following Insertion Fees for Media products apply to the following categories:

• Books, Comics & Magazines (excluding the Accessories sub-category)

• DVDs, Film and TV (excluding the Accessories/Storage, Film Memorabilia and TV Memorabilia sub-categories)

• The Games sub-category of Video Games (change does not apply to the other sub-categories of Video Games)

• Music (excluding the Music Memorabilia and Accessories/ Storage sub-categories)

Notes:

• All listings must start at £0.99 or greater. Sellers are not permitted to start a listing in Buy It Now format for under £0.99.

• If your item does not sell or if your buyer does not pay, you will not be eligible to get a relist credit for your insertion fees.

• You pay the same Insertion Fee to list multiple identical items in the one listing as you would to list an individual item. For example, say the Insertion Fee payable for listing 1 item is £0.20. If you list 4 identical items in one listing, the Insertion Fee charged is the same (£0.20).

• Even if you pay for two or more identical Buy It Now listings, only one will be visible.  For more information about our Duplicate Listings Policy, including what will be considered a duplicate listing, please visit http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/listing-multi.html.  If you have multiple identical items for sale, we recommend that you consider using Multiple-Item Listings.

A Note About eBay Fees

• In the event your seller account is suspended for any reason, any amounts due on your seller account will immediately become due and payable. eBay reserves the right to immediately charge any amounts you have not previously disputed to the billing method that you are using.

• Fees pay for the right to sell on eBay. Sellers do not purchase exclusive rights to Web pages on eBay. We may, in our sole discretion, and without your consent or payment to you, place third-party advertisements on any Web page within our site.

• Insertion fees and optional feature fees are charged at the time of listing and are non-refundable.

• 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.
