How eBay's fees are worked out
eBay charges a final value fee on the total the buyer pays, the item price plus shipping, and a fixed fee per order on top.
On eBay.com the final value fee is 13.6% in most categories up to $7,500 and 2.35% above that, plus $0.30 per order ($0.40 over $10). On eBay.co.uk and eBay.de, private sellers who live in the country sell without a final value fee, and on eBay.fr and eBay.it so does any private seller registered in the EEA. Business sellers pay by category, for example 12.9% plus a 0.35% regulatory operating fee in the UK, 14% in Germany, and 9% in France and 11% in Italy (both plus a 0.35% regulatory operating fee), and a per-order fee.
On eBay.co.uk and eBay.de, free selling for private sellers applies to people who live in the country. Private sellers who live outside the UK pay 12.8% plus 30p per order on eBay.co.uk. The fees were checked against eBay's own help pages on 8 November 2026. The categories are a selection, and sales tax or VAT added by eBay is not included.
Questions about eBay's fees
What eBay takes, on which amount and from whom.
It depends on the site and the category. On eBay.com it is 13.6% of the total including shipping in most categories, plus $0.30–0.40 per order. Private sellers living in the UK or Germany sell without a final value fee on eBay.co.uk and eBay.de, and private sellers registered in the EEA do so on eBay.fr and eBay.it.
Yes. The final value fee is worked out on the whole amount the buyer pays, which is the item price plus shipping.
Not if they live in the UK: they pay no final value fee or regulatory operating fee. Private sellers living outside the UK pay 12.8% of the total plus 30p per order.
A fixed fee on every order on top of the percentage: $0.30 or £0.30 for orders up to 10 and $0.40 or £0.40 above on eBay.com and eBay.co.uk. For business sellers on eBay.de it is €0.35, or €0.45 for orders over €10, and on eBay.fr and eBay.it €0.35 per order.
