Subscriptions

Shop subscriptions are made on a monthly basis. You agree that your eBay Shop subscription is for a one month term that will automatically renew each month unless you cancel your subscription.  

All eBay Shop subscription fees are included on your monthly invoice. You agree to all fees (e.g. basic fees, optional fees, eBay Shop subscription fees etc.) for eBay Shop subscribers, which are stated on our eBay fees page.

All amended terms shall automatically be effective 30 days after they are initially posted. Your continued use of our Services after the effective date of these amended terms constitutes your acceptance of them. 

Free-insertion-fee listings and other benefits described on the eBay Shops page are allocated to each Shop subscriber on a calendar month basis. Your unused free-insertion-fee listings and other benefits don’t carry over to the next calendar month and are reset at the beginning of each calendar month.

You are only permitted to have one active eBay Shop subscription across all sites at any one time.

Cancelling your subscription

When cancelling your eBay Shop subscription:

  • You will be billed and agree to pay the eBay Shop subscription fees for the entire calendar month of which you cancel in.
