How eBay charges UK business sellers
Business sellers pay a final value fee when an item sells: a percentage of the total amount of the sale (the item price, postage and any taxes), which depends on the category, plus a per-order fee of 30p on orders of £10 or less and 40p on orders over £10. On top of that is a regulatory operating fee of 0.35% of the total.
| Category | Final value fee |
|---|---|
| Clothes, Shoes & Accessories | 11.9% |
| Trainers | 11.9%, or 7% if the item price is £100 or more |
| Women’s Bags & Handbags | 12.9% up to £800, then 7% |
| Jewellery & Watches | 14.9% up to £1,000, then 4% |
| Books, Films, Music, Video Games | 9.9% |
| Phones, Laptops, Tablets, Cameras, TVs, Audio | 6.9% up to £1,000, then 3% |
| Collectables, Toys, Antiques, Art, Health & Beauty | 10.9% |
| Home, Furniture & DIY | 11.9% up to £500, then 7.9% |
| Everything Else, Crafts, Job Lots | 12.9% |
The bands apply to the part of the sale in each band, per item. eBay’s page lists more categories; the calculator has the main ones. All business fees are quoted before VAT. Items sent abroad add an international fee (1.05% to the eurozone and Northern Europe, 1.8% to the US and Canada, 2% elsewhere), and Below Standard sellers pay 6 more percentage points.
Selling as a private individual instead? See the eBay private seller calculator: no final value fee on most things.
Not fully confirmed: eBay’s page doesn’t say whether the £10 line for the 30p or 40p per-order fee includes postage. The calculator uses the total with postage, the same total the other fees use. Some Collectables and Home & DIY categories have a lower 10p per-order fee on orders up to £10, which the calculator doesn’t apply.
