FAQs
How do I get the new fees?
You need to create new listings in any of the eligible categories (below) to qualify for the £0.10 per order fee. Listings created prior to 1st February 2022 are not eligible. The £0.10 per order fee is open to business sellers with their registered business address in the UK. When the item sells, the total amount of the sale (which includes the item price, postage, taxes and any other applicable fees) must not exceed £10.00. No opt-in is required to activate the fees. The variable percentage fee will not change.
Which categories do I need to list in?
New listings must be created on www.eBay.co.uk in one of the following categories to qualify:
- Antiques (#20081)
- Art (#550)
- Coins (#11116)
- Collectables (#1)
- Dolls & Bears (#237)
- Pottery & Glass (#870)
- Sports Memorabilia (#64482)
- Stamps (#260)
- Items listed in one of the above will be referred to as “Eligible Categories”.
When do I get the new fees?
From 14th July 2022 the discounted final value fee will be automatically applied to all eligible, completed sales at checkout instead of being credited later. Eligible transactions prior to 15th July will get credited on to your account by 5th August 2022.
Will I get the new fees on relisted items?
Items that have been manually relisted or automatically relisted through the Automatic relist function from 1st February 2022 are eligible. However, items that were listed using the Good ‘Till Cancelled function prior to 1st February 2022 are ineligible for the reduced order fees. An eligible listing previously scheduled to go live after 1st February 2022 will qualify.
Can these reduced fees be combined with an existing order-fee discount / promotion?
Provided your per order fees are not already less than £0.10, you will be eligible to receive the discount. Fee promotions applying exclusively to the variable portion of the final value fee only are still applicable and can be used in conjunction with the reduced order fees.
Do business sellers with a registered address outside the UK qualify?
No. You must be a business seller with a registered address in the UK to qualify.
Do private sellers qualify?
No. You must have a business seller account to qualify.
Are listings in two categories eligible?
Yes, provided the primary category is in any of the Eligible Categories (listed above).
Do orders which include a combination of otherwise eligible and ineligible items qualify?
For orders containing a mix of both eligible and ineligible items, the reduced order level fee will not apply.
Does this change affect other fees too?
No, all other fees (such as insertion fees, listing upgrade fees, International fees and the variable percentage final value fee) will still apply and will be charged in accordance with the eBay fees policy
Is VAT included on the new fees?
No. All fees displayed on this page are exclusive of VAT at 20%.
