QUESTION
How much are eBay seller fees in Canada?
For eBay Canada, seller fees usually depend on the category, your selling format, whether you have an eBay Store, and any optional add-ons you choose.
In general, you should expect some combination of:
- Final value fee: the main selling fee, usually based on the total amount the buyer pays, including item price and often shipping/handling, and sometimes taxes depending on the fee structure.
- Fixed per-order fee: a small flat fee may apply.
- Insertion/listing fees: eBay may charge after any monthly free-listing allowance.
- Optional upgrades: extra costs for features like subtitles or promoted visibility.
- Promoted Listings: an extra advertising fee if the item sells through a promotion.
- International / currency-related fees: may apply for cross-border sales or currency conversion.
- Store subscription fees: monthly fee if you have an eBay Store, with possible benefits like lower selling fees or more free listings.
As a rough planning estimate, many sellers will find fees land somewhere in the low double-digit percentage range, but the exact amount can be higher or lower depending on the category and add-ons. For example, a $100 sale might cost around $10 or more in fees before any optional advertising or special charges.
Because eBay fee tables can change and category rates differ, check eBay Canada’s official Selling fees page or use eBay’s fee calculator before listing if you need an exact number.
