Final value fee is a percentage of the total amount of the sale: item price, handling, shipping charged to the buyer, and sales tax.
- Insertion fee: 250 free listings a month (more with an eBay Store), then $0.35 per listing.
- International fee: 1.65% of the total, unless you are US-registered and use eBay International Shipping.
- Below Standard sellers pay +6% of the total (+7% after four months); a Very High 'item not as described' rate adds +5% of the total in affected categories (+6% after four months).
- Seller currency conversion charge (only when eBay converts funds for an item listed or sold on another eBay site): 3.25% since October 14, 2026 (was 3%).

eBay Live sales stop counting toward your seller level
From October 15, 2026, eBay Live transactions no longer count in seller standards or service metrics calculations. That includes eBay Live sales completed before that date. eBay says it will rate eBay Live performance separately under a future program.
Your net on a $10 / $25 / $50 sale: n/a / n/a / n/a
A rule, not a fee. It can still move your seller level, and your seller level decides Top Rated benefits and the Below Standard surcharge.
