Registering on eBay is completely free, but opening an eBay store requires paying a monthly store rental fee based on the store level you choose. In addition, you need to pay a listing fee to list products on various eBay sites, and a certain percentage of the transaction fee after the products are sold. Therefore, the basic cost of selling on the eBay platform is the listing fee plus the transaction fee. The fees incurred will also vary depending on the different listing formats chosen by the seller. Sellers can also add some special features to the products, but they need to pay the corresponding function fees.
The following will focus on the charging standards of the US site. The charging standards of the US site are divided into non-store sellers and store sellers. Non-store sellers refer to sellers who only list products for sale on the US site without opening a store on the US site; store sellers are sellers who have opened stores on the US site.
Charging standards for non-store sellers (US site)
The fees for non-store sellers on the eBay US site include two major items: basic fees and special function fees. The basic fees refer to the product listing fees and the transaction fees after the products are sold, and the special function fees refer to some special functions added by sellers when listing products.

2. Special Features Fees
In order to better display products and increase sales, sellers can add some special features to the products they list. Of course, adding these special features requires payment of corresponding fees.
In addition to the above special features, in order to ensure that the products you list can be sold, for products listed in the “auction” mode, you can also use the “product reserve price” and set special time functions.
