We’re making changes to some of our fees
In our latest update, we’re making adjustments to a range of fees, including per-order fee credits, shop subscriptions, and some final value fees.
We’re continuously investing in our marketplace to help you manage your business more efficiently and accelerate your sales velocity. As a result of these investments, we sometimes need to make price adjustments that allow us to bring you products and services that drive the best returns and help buyers across the growing eBay marketplace find your items. Below, you’ll find specifics as well as details on some services we’re now offering for free, such as free optional listing upgrades, the extension of fee credits on refunds, and double the free monthly allowance of 7-day auction-style listings.
What you need to know
We are making changes to the following:
- Shop subscription benefits and fees
- Final value fees in selected categories, mainly in Home & Garden and Electronics
- Fees for sellers whose performance level is Below Standard
- Additional free optional listing upgrades
- Expanded per-order fee credits in selected refund circumstances
Shop subscription benefits and fees
We’ll increase our monthly package fees from 1 April 2023 due to the recent investments and improvements we’ve made in Shopfronts. Specifically, we’ll increase our monthly package fees and remove the listing upgrade credit offered to Featured and Anchor shop package subscribers.
The new monthly price continues to represent great value for money as it is significantly lower than what you would pay without a shop package – with new features like video capability, the ability to send coded coupons to buyers, and enhancements to surfacing your feedback on Shopfronts. If you don’t have a package, you’ll continue to pay as you sell without a monthly fee.
Additionally, we’ll double the free monthly allowance of 7-day auction-style listings. For example, if you currently have a Basic shop package, you’ll be able to list up to 100 7-day auction style listings. Please see the table below for the increased allowances.
Summary of shop subscription 7-day auction allowances
Shop Package | Current Free 7-day auction-style listings |
Starting 1 April 2023 Free 7-day auction-style listings* |
Basic | 50 | 100 |
Featured | 300 | 600 |
Anchor | 500 | 1,000 |
* Selling allowances and fair use policy apply

Starting 1 April 2023 Monthly Price |
No shop | Free | Free |
Basic | £25 | £27 |
Featured | £69 | £77 |
Anchor | £399 | £437 |
For Featured and Anchor Shop subscribers the monthly listing upgrade credit will no longer be available. Instead, we’ll make some listing upgrades free of charge (see below for details). For listing upgrade fees incurred in March 2023, the final monthly credit will be applied in April and will cover fees incurred in March 2023.
All other shop allowances and benefits remain unchanged. You'll continue to receive an eBay packaging voucher worth £10 (if you subscribe to a Featured Shop) or £20 (if you subscribe to an Anchor Shop) each month to spend on eBay-branded packaging supplies.
Summary of shop subscription benefits changes
Shop Package | Current Listing upgrade credits |
Starting 1 April 2023 Listing upgrade credits |

Final value fee changes in selected categories
Starting on 2 March 2023, we’ll update our final value fees in selected categories which have a range of final value rates. For example, business sellers who sell in the Mobile and Smart phones category will see the threshold for the 6.9% variable percentage portion increase from £400 to £1,000. In addition, the portion of the total amount of the sale above the threshold will increase from 2% to 3%.

Fee update for sellers listing sneakers (Final value fee update beginning in March)
We’ll also change final value fees for Men’s and Women’s Trainers categories as we continue to invest in our platform.
Starting 2 March 2023, if you sell sneakers with an item price of £100 or more, a 7% final value fee will be charged when the item is sold, plus a fixed amount of 30p per order. Free insertions also apply for listings with a starting price of £100 or more.
eBay is among the most competitive destinations for sneaker resale. We have some of the lowest fees among competing marketplaces and offer the latest resources to help accelerate, grow, and scale your business: no-fee verified returns, seller protections, and Authenticity Guarantee. To date, eBay has authenticated over 4 million sneakers globally, with a pair of sneakers purchased every four seconds.
eBay is committed to delivering the most trusted, engaging, and exciting shopping experience - and to provide you, our sellers, with the best tools and largest buyer base.
Sellers whose performance level is Below Standard
Starting 2 March 2023, we’ll increase additional final value fees from 4% to 6% for Below Standard sellers. In doing so, we're continuing our effort to mitigate behaviour that doesn’t support good buyer experiences and negatively impacts sellers on our platform. The additional fee will continue to apply to the total amount of the sale, and does not apply to Above Standard and eBay Top Rated Sellers. You can check your current seller level on your Seller Dashboard.

Per Order Fee Credit on Refunds
Last year we made improvements to fee credits when buyers cancel transactions. Based on the positive feedback we received following those changes, we’ll now extend this credit policy to when a buyer returns an item for one of the following reasons:
- Ordered by mistake
- Don’t like it
- Changed their mind
- Doesn't fit
- Found a better price
This means that if you voluntarily fully refund the buyer we’ll credit your fee credits. Look out for further updates to the fee credits page in the coming weeks.
All fees displayed on this page are exclusive of VAT.
