You pay a final value fee on the total sale amount (item plus the postage the buyer pays). The rate depends on the category, and some categories drop to a lower rate above a price threshold. On top of that is a per-order fee of 30p for orders of £10 or less and 40p above £10 (it went up from 30p on 12 February 2026), plus a 0.35% regulatory operating fee. eBay quotes all of these excluding VAT, so if you're not VAT-registered you pay 20% VAT on the fees too.
UK-based private sellers pay no final value fee, per-order fee or regulatory fee in most categories (vehicles excepted). The buyer pays a Buyer Protection fee on top of your price instead, so it doesn't come out of your payout. Promoted Listings still cost money if you use them.
Yes, for business sellers. Offering free postage doesn't dodge the fee, because the cost moves into your item price, but it does mean the fee is calculated on one number you control.
If your account drops to Below Standard, eBay adds 6 percentage points to your final value fee for the following month, rising to 7 points after four months in a row. Above Standard and Top Rated sellers aren't affected.
If you send through eBay International Shipping with a UK address, there's no international fee. Otherwise eBay adds 1.05% (Eurozone and Northern Europe), 1.8% (US and Canada) or 2% (everywhere else) on the total sale.
Insertion fees beyond your free allowance, shop subscriptions, the 10p reduced per-order fee in a few Collectables and Home categories, cost-per-click ad campaigns and the "item not as described" surcharge. Your eBay invoice is always the final word.
