<p class="p1">With both PayPal and eBay, fees can stack in a way that disrupts your <a href="https://www.thebalance.com/profit-margin-types-calculation-3305879"><span class="s1">profit margin</span></a>.</p>
<p class="p1">Below, we’ll look at some of the fees you’ll be charged. Explore them in-depth, and see how they affect your business!</p>
<h2 class="p1"><b>#1 – Listing Insertions</b></h2>
<p class="p1">Probably the 1<span class="s2"><sup>st</sup></span> fee you’ll come across. It’s what you pay to list the item.</p>
<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 3.0.1 -->
<div class="quads-location quads-ad135804 " id="quads-ad135804" style="float:none;text-align:center;padding:0px 0 0px 0;" data-lazydelay="3000">

</div>

<p class="p1">This fee is charged on both fixed-price and auction-style lists (<b>both fall under good ‘til cancelled listing types</b>).</p>
<p class="p1">On basic eBay registrations, you get 100 for free per month (and on most categories). Following that, you’re charged $0.30 per item you list.</p>
<h2 class="p1"><b>#2 – Final Value</b></h2>
<p class="p1">This is charged when a transaction is finalized, or after a sale is made.</p>
<p class="p1">Final value fees are a % based on item price. They also incorporate shipping + handling into the equation.</p>
<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 3.0.1 -->

</div>

<p class="p1">Shipping fees are calculated using the buyer shipping method selection. If they’ve opted for domestic or one-day shipping, then the cheapest formula will be applied.

<h2 class="p1"><b>#3 – Optional Listing Upgrade</b></h2>
<p class="p1">Multiple options exist to add and improve exposure to a seller’s listings.</p>
<p class="p1">Here, those upgrades include font mods (such as bolding), the addition of subtitles, or introducing media content. Even acquiring international visibility is an option.</p>
<h2 class="p1"><b>#4 – Optional Promotional Listing</b></h2>
<p class="p1">Consider it a subtype of the previous point – but much more expansive.</p>
<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 3.0.1 -->
<div class="quads-location quads-ad135804 " id="quads-ad135804" style="float:none;text-align:center;padding:0px 0 0px 0;" data-lazydelay="3000">

</div>

<p class="p1">eBay sellers can promote other sellers’ listings to get more viewers on eBay’s search engine, if a buyer browses items offered by other sellers.</p>
<p class="p1">Those listings are offered to other sellers too, whether or not they’re subscribed to eBay.</p>
<p class="p1">Sellers can set the listing fees. The fees are derived from ad-rate trends on what the average seller is paying. It starts at 1% of a final value commission.</p>
<p class="p1">Fees are paid when buyers click through an ad then buys the item (within a month of clicking).</p>

</div>

<h2 class="p1"><b>#5 – Classified Listings</b></h2>
<p class="p1">This is a different option for eBay sellers. Here, sellers receive buyer contact info, and are allowed to talk to them directly.</p>
<p class="p1">While such transactions are run outside of the platform, if the info is used for malicious intent, a seller faces suspension/restrictions.</p>
<p class="p1">Classified ad fees are at $9.95 per monthly listing. A final value fee isn’t charged.</p>
<p class="p1">Classified ads are allowed in 4 categories, which are:</p>

<li class="li1">Business and Industrial</li>
<li class="li1">Specialty services</li>
<li class="li1">Travel</li>
<li class="li1">“Everything else” subcategory</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="p1"><b>#6 – Punitive</b></h2>
<p class="p1">Sellers may incur extra fees if they aren’t abiding by eBay rules, or if they aren’t meeting the standard of practices required.</p>
<p class="p1">Also, sellers who try to coordinate sales with buyers out of eBay might be charged final value fees, even if a sale isn’t made.</p>
<p class="p1">With an auction-style listing, fees are charged based on the highest price, whether it be a “buy it now,” starting price, or what was negotiated by buyers and sellers.</p>
<h2 class="p1"><b>#7 – PayPal Payment Processing</b></h2>
<p class="p1">Being the eBay standard for processing, sellers are charged 2.9% as a fee (plus $0.30 per eBay transaction) on withdrawal.</p>

<p class="p1">Banking info must be provided by sellers to send payments to their bank accounts. Basic transfers require no fee, but may take up to 3 days.</p>
