Listing and final value fees
List up to 20 items a month for free. After your free 20 items, each item you list costs £0.35. If you choose to relist your item, Listing (also called Insertion fees) and Optional listing upgrade fees will apply again. If you chose to list your item with a Good ‘Til Cancelled duration, Listing and Optional listing upgrade fees apply every 30 days. This excludes Classified Ads listings and items listed in the Cars, Motorcycles & Vehicles category.
When your item sells you pay 10% of the final transaction value, including postage. We call this a final value fee. We cap final value fees so you will never pay more than £250 for a single item.
If your item doesn’t sell you usually don't pay any final value fee. However, if you offer or reference your contact information to another user or ask a buyer for their contact information, in the context of buying or selling outside of eBay, we will charge a final value fee for introducing you to the buyer. In this case, the final value fee is the higher of the fixed price, auction start price, Buy it now price, Reserve price or the price identified between the buyer and seller, as the case may be.
Optional listing upgrades
With half of all UK shoppers buying on eBay, many sellers want to enhance their listings to make their items more attractive to buyers and for you to get the best possible price.
The optional upgrades and fees are below.
| Upgrade | Description | Upgrade fee per listing |
| Reserve price | Set a reserve price (minimum £50) and your item won’t be sold if bids don’t reach that amount. It gives you the peace of mind that your item won’t be sold for less than you’re willing to sell it for. | 4% of the reserve price (max. £150 per item), whether or not the item sells. |
| Add a Buy it now price | Give your buyers the option to purchase before an auction-style listing ends, for a set price. A Buy it now price gives you the possibility of a quick sale for the right money. | 50p |
| Subtitle | Make your item stand out from the crowd with a line of additional text that appears beneath your listing title in search results. | £2.00 |
| Gallery Plus | Catch a buyer’s eye with larger pictures from your listing in search results when buyers move their mouse over your listing's thumbnail picture. | £2.50 (Free in Clothes,Shoes & Accessories, Cars, Motorcycles & Vehicles, Home, Furniture & DIY or Pet Supplies). |
| Listing in 2 categories | An extra listing fee for the second category. | 35p |
| Scheduler | Create your listing now and set it to go live at a future time of your choosing. | Free for 20 listings per month (excluding Motors and Classified Ads). After that, 6p per listing. |
| International Site Visibility | Maximise your item’s visibility in search results on eBay.com and eBay.ca. If your listing is eligible for this upgrade and not already appearing on these sites, you'll have the option to add it on as part of the listing experience. Make sure you've specified postage options for the US and Canada so buyers will know what international P&P will cost. | 30p for Fixed Price listings For auction style listings the fee depends on the start price: 5p for start price less than £5 10p for start price from £5 to £29.99 15p for start price of £30 or more
