January 17, 2001 - eBay Raises Fees
Effective January 31, 2002, eBay will be increasing Final Value Fees, adding a new Reserve Fee price point, charging a fee to use Buy It Now, and increasing eBay Motors vehicle Insertion and Final Value Fees. In late February, eBay will be changing how Final Value Fees for Dutch listings are charged. Here are the fee increases:
Final Value Fee
0.25% is being added to each Final Value Fee price point.
$0.01 - $25.00 Current: 5% New: 5.25%
$25.01 - $1000.00 Current: 2.5% New: 2.75%
$1000.01 and up Current: 1.25% New: 1.50%
Reserve Fee
A new price point is being added for reserve listings above $200.
Reserve Price
$0.01 - $24.99 Current: $0.50 New: $0.50
$25.00 - $199.99 Current: $1.00 New: $1.00
$200.00 and up Current: $1.00 New: $2.00
Buy It Now Fee
A $0.05 Feature Fee will be charged for all auction-style items listed with the Buy It Now feature. The new fee will not apply to eBay Stores Buy It Now items.
Dutch Fee
The standard Final Value Fee schedule will apply to each item sold, not to the total dollar amount of all the items sold. Thus, the Final Value Fee for each item sold will be identical to the standard eBay Final Value Fees outlined above.
eBay Motors Changes
eBay Motors is increasing Insertion and Final Value Fees for Passenger Vehicles and Other Vehicles from $25.00 to $40.00. In addition, a $0.50 Feature Fee will be charged for all Motorcycle auction items listed with the Buy It Now feature, and a $1.00 Feature Fee will be charged for all Passenger Vehicles and Other Vehicles listed with the Buy It Now feature. eBay Motors Parts & Accessories fees remain identical to eBay.com fees.
eBay Stores Final Value Fee Change
Beginning in late February, all fixed price eBay Stores items that are sold in multiple quantities to the same buyer will have Final Value Fees calculated on a per item basis. Final Value Fees for single item sales are already calculated on a per item basis.
