Understanding the fees

Final value fee (FVF). A percentage of the total amount the buyer pays, including shipping. Rates vary by category: most sit at 14.75%, Fashion at 14%, Consumer Electronics at just 7.25%. There's always a fixed £0.30 per-order fee on top.

Store subscriptions reduce FVF on most categories and give you a monthly quota of free listings. Worth it if you list more than ~25 items a month.

Top Rated Seller status earns a 10% discount on FVF (not the fixed fee). Maintain 100+ sales across 12 months, 98%+ positive feedback, <0.3% defect rate, and ship on time 95%+ of the time.

Promoted Listings Standard boosts your listing in search in exchange for an additional ad fee charged only when the promoted listing is what the buyer clicks and buys. Typical rates: 2–8% depending on category competitiveness.
