Detailed explanation of charging standards for non-store and store sellers on eBay US site

Registering for eBay is completely free, but opening an eBay store requires paying a corresponding monthly store fee based on the selected store level. You need to pay a product/item listing fee to list products or items on various eBay sites, and you need to pay a certain percentage of transaction fees after the product/item is sold. Therefore, the basic cost incurred by selling on the eBay platform is the listing fee plus the transaction fee. Depending on the product/item listing format selected by the seller, the fees incurred will also vary. Sellers can also add some special functions to products/items, but they need to pay corresponding function fees.

Charging standards for non-store sellers

Basic fee

Basic fees for non-store sellers on eBay US include product listing fees and transaction fees. Specifically, when sellers list products on the US site, they need to pay a certain listing fee. If the product is successfully sold, they also need to pay a transaction fee in proportion to the transaction amount.

Feature fee

In order to increase the exposure and sales of products, non-store sellers can add some special features to the listed products. These functions include, but are not limited to, page designers, large window display pictures, subtitles, discount packages, bold fonts, products listed in two product categories at the same time, and multi-site exposure. It is worth noting that there are additional fees required to use these features. In addition, for products listed in the “auction” mode, you can also use the “product guaranteed price” and set special time functions.

Monthly store rental fee

Sellers who open a store on eBay US site need to pay the corresponding store monthly rental fee every month, and the specific amount depends on the store level.

Basic fee

Store sellers also need to pay product listing fees and transaction fees.
