Store Package Subscribers can take advantage of 80, 200 or unlimited free Fixed Price listings depending on the Package they choose.

  • They will be applicable for any listing beyond free entitlement

  • They will vary depending on category (e.g. Motors, Real Estate) and listing format (e.g. Classifieds) and Store Package

  • And your listing ends without a winning buyer, you may qualify for a credit (where an insertion fee was charged) if the item sells upon re-listing. 

  • And your listing results in an Unpaid Item (UPI), you may qualify for a credit (where an insertion fee was charged).

Additional information

  • If your seller account is suspended for any reason, any charges on your seller account immediately become due and payable. eBay reserves the right to charge your billing method for any amounts you haven't previously disputed

  • When you submit your listing, it might not appear immediately in a keyword or category search. This can take several hours. Therefore, eBay can't guarantee exact listing durations

  • Your listing fee subtotal appears in the “Your fees so far” section at the bottom of the "Create your listing" form and again under “Review your listing"

  • You can see your recent account activity for the last four months by viewing your Account status page

  • Fees apply to each listing you create. 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

  • Good 'Til Cancelled listings renew automatically unless all of the items sell, you end the listing, or the listing violates an eBay policy. Insertion fees are charged every 30 day period.
