Final Value Fees

About Final Value Fees

• You are charged a Final Value Fee (FVF) if your item is sold, ends with a winning bid, or is purchased. This fee applies whether or not you complete the sale with the buyer.

• Under certain circumstances you may request a Final Value Fee Credit. For example, you can request full credit if a buyer backed out and did not buy the item.

Factors that affect Final Value Fees

1. The final sale price (or "final value") of your item. For auction listings, it is the final winning bid. For fixed price or Buy It Now items, it is the purchase price. Example: You sold a single item for AU$153.00. Using the Final Value Fee table, your Final Value Fee is AU$6.0911.40. This is calculated as follows: AU$3.947.50 (.0525 10 times AU$75.00) plus AU$2.153.90 (.0275 05 times AU$78.00) for a total of AU$6.0911.40.

2. Type of listing. Examples include the following:

Single Items: Final Value Fee is based on the final sale price (or "final value") of your item.

Multiple Items-Fixed Price Listings: The Final Value Fee is calculated per item sold and based on the final sale price of each item.

o Multiple Item-Online Auction Listings (Dutch Auctions): The Final Value Fee for a Multiple Item Auction Listing (Dutch auction) is determined by multiplying the Final Value Fee of the lowest successful bid by the number of items sold. Example: You sold 10 items for AU$5.00 each, so the Final Value Fee is AU$2.605.00. This is calculated as follows: AU$0.26 50 (the Final Value Fee on a AU$5.00 item) times 10 (the number of items sold).

o Regular Auction-style Listings: The final value is the closing bid when the reserve has been met. o Reserve Price Auction-style Listings: (applies only to cars, motorcycles, boats and other vehicles) There is no Final Value Fee charged if the reserve is not met.

o Motors Vehicles: eBay does not charge a Final Value Fee for Cars, Motorcycles, Boats and Other Vehicles. Instead, eBay charges a Transaction Services Fee. The Transaction Services Fee is charged when the first bid is made or your reserve price is met. If your vehicle listing ends without any bids, or the reserve not being met, you will not be charged this Transaction Services Fee. There is no additional fee charged after the vehicle is sold. The auto parts category uses the Final Value Fee structure. For more information, see below:

Item Category Transaction Services Fee

- Motorcycles AU$30.00

- Cars, Boats and Other Vehicles AU$40.00

o Real Estate: There are no Final Value Fees on Real Estate listings. You will not be charged a Final Value Fee if:

• There were no bids on your item (or your "Buy It Now" item is not bought.)

• There were no bids that met your reserve price in the case of a Reserve Price Auction (applies only to cars, motorcycles, boats and other vehicles)
