As cross-border platforms flourish, more sellers choose to register and open stores on the eBay platform. However, many sellers are not very clear about the eBay platform when operating stores. So, do you know whether there is a handling fee for selling goods on eBay? Let’s take a look now.
Like other platforms, eBay charges a certain commission for platform product transactions, and the commission rates for different types of projects are different. The general rate is about 3.5%-9.15%, and the transaction fee for non-store sellers will also be higher, that is, a 12% commission.
What are the charging standards of the eBay platform:
1. Store subscription fee eBay sellers are divided into two types: non-store sellers and store sellers. Store sellers need to pay part of the store subscription fee, which is divided into five levels, and the minimum annual subscription fee is US$4.95. eBay store sellers charge monthly and annual fees. The annual subscription fee is slightly lower than the monthly subscription fee, and both are paid monthly.
2. eBay’s product listing fee has a limit on the number of listings that sellers can list. Ordinary non-store sellers can list 50 listings for free each month. If the number exceeds, the fee will be charged according to the charging specifications. For store sellers, the higher the store level, the more free listings they can list, and the cost of exceeding the limit is relatively low.
3. The transaction commission is the same as other platforms. eBay charges a certain transaction commission for platform products, and the commission rate for different types of projects is different. The transaction fee for eBay non-store sellers will be quite high, that is, a 12% commission will be charged. At the same time, it should be noted that if the account is landed below standard, the transaction fee will be higher.
4. Withdrawal fee Currently, eBay only supports PayPal as one of the payment methods. In the withdrawal process, some fees will be incurred, and the fees will be paid to PayPal rather than eBay.
From the analysis, we can understand whether eBay has any handling fees when selling goods. In fact, there will be some handling fees to be charged, and the tax rates for different goods will be different. When sellers operate stores, they need to clarify the tax rate when paying the transaction fee for eBay non-store sellers.
