eBay Australia Selling Fees Explained
Selling on eBay Australia typically involves one main cost: the Final Value Fee charged when an item sells. Most listings on eBay.com.au are free to create unless you choose optional listing upgrades. The final value fee is calculated as a percentage of the total sale amount plus a small fixed fee per order.
The total sale amount includes the item price, postage and handling charges, and any applicable taxes collected from the buyer. Unlike older eBay payment systems, there are no separate third-party payment processing fees because payment processing is already included within the final value fee.
Standard Final Value Fees on eBay Australia
| Fee Type / Category | Final Value Fee (incl. GST) |
|---|---|
| Fixed Order Fee – all categories | $0.30 per order |
| Variable Fee – Most Categories | 13.4% of the sale amount up to $4,000 + 2.5% of the sale amount over $4,000 |
| Variable Fee – Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) | 5.5% of the total sale amount |
| Fixed Fee – Services Category | $44.00 |

GST on eBay Fees
For sellers registered in Australia, most eBay selling fees include Goods and Services Tax (GST) at 10%. Unless you have provided eBay with a valid Australian Business Number (ABN) and registered for GST exemption, eBay will charge your seller fees inclusive of GST. Details of any GST charged will appear on your monthly seller invoice.
eBay Store Subscription Fees
eBay Store subscriptions can reduce your final value fees and provide additional selling tools. Stores also include more free listings each month depending on the subscription level.

Factors That Affect Final Value Fees
- Seller Performance Level – Sellers rated as Below Standard are charged an additional 5.5% final value fee on sales. Top Rated Sellers receive a 10% discount on FVFs for qualifying listings.
- Item Not as Described Returns – If your “Item Not as Described” return rate is considered Very High in a category, an additional 5.5% fee applies to sales in that category.
- International Sales – If your registered address is in Australia and the delivery address entered by the buyer is outside Australia, an additional international sales fee of 1.1% (incl. GST) of the total sale amount applies.
- Currency Conversion Charge – When eBay converts funds between currencies, sellers registered in Australia may be charged a currency conversion fee of 3.3% (incl. GST).
eBay Promoted Listings Fees
Promoted Listings help increase visibility in eBay Australia search results and category pages. These advertising programs are optional and are charged in two main ways:
- General (Cost-Per-Sale) – You set an ad rate percentage, and eBay charges the fee only if a buyer clicks your promoted listing and purchases within 30 days.
- Priority (Cost-Per-Click) – You pay for each click on your listing and gain access to premium advertising placements.
Charity Donations & Fee Reductions
If you sell items benefiting a registered eBay charity, the final value fee may be reduced proportionally to the donation percentage. For example, if 50% of your sale is donated, the percentage-based final value fee is reduced by 50%.
