Understanding eBay UK Fees in 2025

Free Selling for UK-Based Private Sellers

As of October 1, 2024, UK-based private sellers can sell on eBay completely free! You won't pay any final value fees or regulatory operating fees when your items sell domestically. This makes eBay one of the most cost-effective platforms for casual sellers in the UK.

Free selling applies when:

  • You're a private (not business) seller based in the UK
  • Your buyer is also in the UK (domestic shipping)
  • You're not selling vehicles in the Motors category

You'll still encounter fees if you list more than 300 items per month, add optional listing upgrades, or ship to international addresses.

eBay UK Fees for Private Sellers

Free Listing Allocation

Private sellers get 300 free listings each month. After that, each additional listing costs 35p. If you subscribe to an eBay Shop (£19.99/month), you'll get 400 free listings.

International Fee

A 3% fee applies if you sell to buyers outside the UK. This is calculated on the total sale amount (item price + shipping + handling).

Optional Listing Upgrades

You can enhance your listings with upgrades like subtitles (£2), Gallery Plus (£2.50), or Promoted Listings (fee varies based on your settings). These are charged regardless of whether your item sells.

Fees for Non-UK Private Sellers

If you're a private seller located outside the UK, additional fees will apply:

Final Value Fee

12.8% of the total sale amount plus 30p per order. For items priced over £5,000, you'll pay 3% on the portion above £5,000.

Special Category Rates

Men's and Women's Trainers priced at £100+ benefit from reduced fees of 8% + 30p (instead of 12.8% + 30p).

Regulatory Operating Fee

An additional 0.42% of the total sale amount.

eBay Business Seller Fees

Business sellers on eBay UK face a different fee structure that includes final value fees and category-specific rates. Use the calculator above to estimate these fees for your business listings.

Key differences for business sellers:

  • Final value fees apply to all sales (typically 12.9% + 30p for most categories)
  • Category-specific rates vary from 3-15% depending on what you're selling
  • VAT registration status affects how fees are calculated
  • Various subscription tiers available to reduce fees for high-volume sellers
  • International fees vary by destination region

This guide is based on eBay UK's fee structure as of October 1, 2024. Fees are subject to change, so always check the official eBay website for the most current information.
