From May 2011, eBay.co.uk is simplifying the final value fee structure, making pricing more transparent. In most cases, insertion fees will be lowered so you can list with lower cost.
Simpler pricing will make it easier for you to predict and calculate your eBay fees. Find out how your fees will change on eBay.co.uk . |
Simplified final value fees |
From May 2011, we are simplifying the final value fee structure.
Whether you choose to sell in auction-style or fixed price, your final value fee will be a flat percentage of the final selling price, which varies depending on the category you sell in.
Choose the format that is best for your item: there will no longer be a final value fee difference between auction-style and fixed price listings.
Simpler, flat final value fees will make it easier to predict and calculate your eBay fees when you successfully sell an item.

Lower i nsertion f ees for eBay Shops |
We're also
lowering some insertion fees for eBay Shops , reducing your upfront risk and enabling you to list more items for the same price.
What's changing:
- Zero insertion fees for Anchor Shops
- Insertion fees halved for Basic Shops
There will be changes to the Buy it now and Reserve features in most categories.
Changes to auction-style with Buy it now
If you create an auction-style listing with Buy it now, you must
have at least a 40%
difference between the Buy it now price and the auction-style start price. For example, if you list an item in auction with a start price of £10, you'll not be able to put a Buy it now price lower than £14.
Fees for this option will increase in May 2011.
Changes to the Reserve option
If you choose to use the Reserve option, your fee will increase from 2% to 3% of the Reserve price.
