Frequently asked questions
Does eBay charge fees on sales tax?
The final value fee is calculated on the total amount of the sale, and in most regions that includes the tax eBay collects and remits.
How do I lower fees?
A store subscription cuts the percentage in high-volume categories, and keeping promoted listing rates at the suggested minimum avoids overpaying for visibility.
