Promotion and Procedure
FVF Discount
eBay charges an FVF when your item(s) sell(s). The FVF charged per order consists of: (i) a variable portion (“Variable Portion FVF”) which is calculated as a percentage of the Total Sale Amount; and (ii) a fixed portion (“Fixed Portion FVF”) for example 30p. The Total Sale Amount means the amount the buyer pays for an order, including the item price, postage, taxes and any other applicable fees. The FVF Discount in this promotion applies to both Variable and Fixed Portion FVF (net of any other discounts) in respect of the eligible items’ Total Sale Amounts. For example, if you would have been charged 11.90% on the Total Sales Amount, the 100% FVF discount will reduce this to 0%. The Fixed Portion FVF (e.g. 30p) will be discounted to 0.
Regulatory Operating fees will not apply to eligible sales.
Insertion fees and listing upgrade fees will still apply and will be charged according to the eBay fees policy.
