For business sellers, eBay UK continues to apply final value fees that vary by category. These fees typically consist of a percentage of the total sale amount, including the item price and postage, plus a fixed per-order fee. The specific rates can differ based on the item’s category and whether the seller operates a basic or featured shop.
Given these changes, it’s important to distinguish between private and business seller accounts, as the fee structures differ significantly. Private sellers benefit from the recent fee eliminations, while business sellers should consult eBay UK’s official resources or fee calculators to determine the applicable fees for their specific categories.
