eBay Seller Cost Example
• If you put an item up for auction and set the opening bid for $5.00, your insertion fee will be 30 cents. Then let's say that at the end of your auction, the high bid is $20. The $20 is used to calculate your Final Value fee (a percentage of the final sale price). In this instance, it's $1.05.
• Add the insertion fee + the Final Value fee to get your total. For this example, you would pay eBay $1.35 (30 cents for the insertion fee and $1.05 for the Final Value Fee).
• Keep in mind, though, that this page is just an introduction to the basics. View the fees page to fully understand eBay's fee structure.
