For those who want to engage in cross-border e-commerce, the most important thing is to choose a reliable cross-border e-commerce platform to open a store. Just like the eBay platform has attracted a large number of sellers to settle in because of its unique advantages, like other cross-border e-commerce platforms, you need to pay a handling fee to open a store on the eBay platform. Today we will talk about how eBay sellers’ handling fees are calculated?
Different types of eBay stores will have different handling fees. For example, for sellers in eBay Super Select stores and corporate stores, the upper limit of transaction fees is US$250, while for ordinary stores and boutique stores, the upper limit of transaction fees is US$250. Closing fees are all $350.
It should be noted that if an eBay store is downgraded, the store’s transaction fee will also increase. Therefore, the store must be operated reasonably and maintain a good store turnover.
As for how eBay sellers calculate handling fees, the following points need to be considered:
1. Listing fees.
Unlike other platforms, eBay sellers need to pay a certain percentage of listing fees if they want to publish listings. However, sellers on the eBay platform can get a certain amount of free listings every month. When a store’s listings exceed the number of free listings, a listing fee of US$0.3 per item will be charged.
2. Publicity and promotion expenses.
Sellers can also choose the paid promotion service of the eBay platform, which can increase the exposure of the product and thereby increase the chance of selling the product. For example, if a promoted listing is used, certain locations will be promoted, and a corresponding proportion of commission will be charged for successfully selling goods through promotion activities.
The above is how eBay sellers calculate handling fees. If you want to be a good cross-border e-commerce platform, you must understand the various charging standards of the platform, otherwise it will be easy to lose money. In addition, if you want to do a good job in cross-border e-commerce, you need to master some skills and have certain financial strength. Otherwise, you will encounter many problems when operating a store, which is not conducive to the long-term development of the store.
