eBay Canada Final Value Fees (FVF) Explained

When selling on eBay Canada, the Final Value Fee (FVF) is an important cost deducted from your earnings when an item sells. This fee is based on a percentage of the total sale amount and varies depending on the item category and whether you have an eBay Store subscription. It also includes a fixed per-order fee, which is determined by the sale price:

• $0.30 per order for orders $10 or less
• $0.40 per order for orders above $10

The total sale amount includes the item price, shipping charges, sales tax, and any additional fees. For more details, visit eBay’s Final Value Fees Guide.

Factors That Affect eBay Canada Final Value Fees

• eBay Store Subscription - Having an eBay Store reduces the FVF percentage compared to selling without a Store. Sellers with a Store also gain benefits like zero insertion fees and additional promotional tools. eBay store selling fees
• Seller Performance Level - Your seller performance rating affects the Final Value Fees you pay. eBay Top-rated Sellers receive a 10% discount on FVFs for qualifying listings. Sellers rated as Below Standard incur an additional 6% fee on all sales until their performance improves. eBay seller performance level
• Item Not as Described Returns - Sellers with a high return rate for "Item Not as Described" in specific categories may face an additional 5% FVF surcharge. Seller performance is reviewed monthly, and you can check your status on your Seller Dashboard.
• International Sales - eBay applies an additional fee when selling to international buyers based on their location. A 0.4% fee is charged for sales shipped to the United States, while a 1% fee applies to sales shipped to any other country. These fees are applied if the buyer’s shipping address or registered address is outside Canada.
• Currency Conversion - For sellers listing in a currency different from their payout currency, eBay applies a currency conversion charge. This charge consists of the base exchange rate at the time of conversion, plus an additional 3% conversion fee. This applies when paying eBay fees in a different currency or receiving payouts in a non-listing currency.

eBay Promoted Listings Fees

Promoted Listings boost your product’s visibility on eBay search results and pages. These ads are charged in two ways:

• Promoted Listings General (Cost-Per-Sale) - You set a percentage rate, and eBay charges this fee only when a buyer clicks your ad and makes a purchase within 30 days.
• Promoted Listings Priority (Cost-Per-Click) - You pay for each click on your listing, gaining access to premium ad placements and advanced targeting.

Charity Donations & Fee Reductions

If you sell items benefiting a registered eBay charity, eBay reduces the final value fee in proportion to the donation percentage. For example, if 50% of your sale is donated, the fee is halved.
