Our goal is to create a simpler, more streamlined fee structure.
Previously, for each sale you had to pay a separate “payment processing fee” to a third-party based on the total amount of the sale, including tax.
Now, the new Final Value Fee is calculated on the total amount of the sale, inclusive of tax via eBay. Unlike third-party payments processors, in the event of a full refund or cancellation, the variable percentage portion of the final value fee will generally be returned to the seller, while eBay will retain only the per order fee of US$0.30.
Please note that the tax rate used to calculate the Final Value Fee is based on the buyer’s location, – not the seller’s location.
