When you list an item on eBay, you will be charged certain fees. There are three types of fees that all listings are subject to:
eBay has a low Insertion Fee that varies according to the start price of your item. Refer to the fees table below.
If you choose to use eBay's marketing options to raise the profile of your item, a fee applies for each Optional Feature Fee utilised
If the item sells, you are charged a Final Value Fee. The final value fee is based on a sliding scale as per the fees table below
Let's look at an example before we outline the fee scale. If you sold a watch for $105 and started the auction at $3 and also chose to use Gallery Feature, what fees would apply?

The Insertion Fee for Multiple Item Dutch Auction and Fixed Price listings is based upon the opening value of your items. The opening value is the starting or the fixed item price multiplied by the quantity of your items. The maximum insertion fee for any Multiple Item Listing is AU$3.50.
The Final Value Fee for a Multiple Item Dutch Auction, is determined by taking the Final Value Fee of the lowest successful bid and multiplying it by the number of items sold. Multiple Item Fixed Price listing is calculated per item sold, based on the final sale price of the item.
Note: Reserve fees are additional. Reserves are only available in select vehicle categories. For more information, see below.
Optional Feature Fees
You can add optional features to help increase bids and chances of selling success.
In the event your seller account is suspended for any reason, any amounts due on your Seller account will immediately become due and payable. eBay reserves the right to immediately charge any amounts you have not previously disputed to the billing method that you are using.
Fees pay for the right to sell on eBay. Sellers do not purchase exclusive rights to Web pages on eBay. eBay may, in our sole discretion, and without your consent or payment to you, place third-party advertisements on any Web page within our site.
Insertion fees and optional feature fees are charged at the time of listing and are non-refundable.
