Best Answer

The insertion fee is the charge for creating your listing (which is what they call writing your ad).

In addition to that, you might well incur upgrade fees if you use additional photos, subtitles, add a reserve price, etc. When your item sells you will also be charged a "final value fee".

How does eBay charge you?

No, there are no trick, or hidden, fees to using eBay but you do need to know where to look to be certain of what you will be charged. There is no charge whatsoever for using eBay as a buyer only. As a seller you will incur insertion fees, upgrade fees and final value fees. There are also subscription services you can select to use, such as subscribing to an eBay Store, using Selling Manager Pro, etc, and you will be charged a recurring monthly fee for these. If you accept payment through PayPal - and it is almost certain that you will have to do that - you also have to pay them a fee as well. All sites have different fees, based on the local currency, and they are liable to change at any time so it is not possible to give a precise reply here on WikiAnswers. So you should go to the help section on the eBay site where you intend to create your listings and search for "fees" to find the most up to date information.


How much does it cost yo be a member on eBay?

If you only want to browse it costs nothing to register and look around at all the auctions. When you bid on a seller's auction and win, or use the Buy It Now button to make an immediate purchase, you pay the seller your winning bid amount plus any shipping that is shown on the listing (unless it's included in the opening price). If you decide to become a seller there are eBay fees (insertion and, if your item sells, final value fees). The amount you pay depends on what you are listing and what extra features you choose. Sometimes there is a free promotion where you can list items for free; however, this usually only covers the insertion fee. If, as a seller, you subscribe to an eBay store you pay a monthly subscription fee in addition to your other listing fees. There are more subscription items available, but these would not normally be of interest to a new seller. If you do decide to sell on eBay then in addition to the listing fees from eBay you will also incur processing charges from whatever service you might use for processing buyer payments. (Example: PayPal, etc. ) Details on all applicable fees can be found in the help section of your own local eBay site.
