eBay Fees: Final Value Fees by Category
eBay's US selling fees for non-Store sellers: the percentage fee for every major category, the tier thresholds, and the per-order fee — from eBay's official selling fees page.
How eBay's final value fee works
For non-Store sellers in the US, eBay's final value fee has two parts: a percentage of the total amount of the sale, plus a fixed per-order fee. The total amount includes the item price, handling charges, the shipping you charge the buyer, and sales tax. The percentage is tiered: a lower rate applies to the portion of the sale above a category threshold.
| Fee | Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Insertion fee | First 250 listings per month free; $0.35 per listing beyond that | Good 'Til Cancelled listings renew monthly and count against the free allowance. |
| Per-order fee | $0.30 when the total amount of the sale is $10.00 or less; $0.40 above $10.00 | Charged once per order, on top of the percentage fee. Waived for Athletic Shoes with a starting price of $150 or more. The total amount includes item price, handling, shipping charged and sales tax. |

A note on outdated numbers: some third-party fee guides still list 13.25% as eBay's main final value fee. That figure is outdated — the current rate for most categories is 13.6%. The 13.25% rate now applies only to specific categories, such as Coins & Paper Money and select Collectibles, as shown above.
Not shown: eBay Store subscribers have their own fee table on eBay's site, and promoted-listing fees, the Below Standard seller surcharge (+6%) and the $20 dispute fee are not part of the standard schedule above.
