3.  When you list an item on eBay, you're charged an insertion fee. If the item sells, you're also charged a final value fee. The basic cost of selling an item is the insertion fee plus the final value fee.  The basic fee structure depends on the type of listing— auction-style or fixed price format—you use.  All fees are in U.S. dollars.

4. An insertion fee is a fee for listing your item for sale. This fee is charged to your seller account at the time of listing. The insertion fee charged is based on the reserve price if a reserve price is set. If there's no reserve price, it's based on the starting price. As with a newspaper ad, you need to pay this basic listing fee, even if your item doesn't sell. If the item sells, you'll also be charged a final value fee. Insertion fees aren't refundable. You Inc.

5. When your item sells or ends with a winning bid, your seller account is charged a final value fee based on the item's final sale price and category. How do I know what the final value fee will be? Auction-style: The final value fee is based on the final sale price. Fixed price or Buy It Now: The final value fee is based on the final sale price and category. Reserve price auction-style listings: The final value fee is based on the final sale price when the reserve price is met. There's no final value fee if the reserve isn't met. Auction-style or fixed price listings in Business & Industrial categories: The final value fee is based on the final sale price and category. Here's an example of a final value fee calculation for an auction-style listing: You sell an item for $100.00. Your final value fee is 9% of the final sale price, which is $9.00. The maximum final value fee for auction-style listings is $50. For example, if you sell an item for $1,000, you’ll pay only $50, even though 9% of $1,000 is $90. You Inc.

6. “Final Value Fee” When your item sells or ends with a winning bid, your seller account is charged a final value fee based on the item's final sale price and category. Because: You won't be charged a final value fee if: There's no bid on your item. No bids meet your reserve price. Your posting is a Real Estate non-binding listing. Your item or service is listed using the Classified Ad format. You Inc. By - Michelle Barborino, Betty Myhand, Brenden Lunney, Abbas Kazmi, Jihua Liu
