Understanding eBay.com.au Selling Fees
Final Value Fee
eBay Australia charges a tiered final value fee on the total sale amount (item price + shipping). Non-store sellers pay 13.4% on the first A$4,000 and 2.5% above. Store subscribers get a reduced rate of 10.4% on the first A$4,000. A unique feature of eBay Australia is the per-item FVF cap: A$440 for non-store sellers and A$400 for store subscribers, making it attractive for high-value items.
Per-Order Fee & Payment Processing
A A$0.30 per-order fee applies to all transactions. Unlike eBay US and Canada, there is no separate Managed Payments processing fee on eBay Australia — payment processing costs are included in the final value fee. International sales incur an additional 1.0% fee. A currency conversion charge of 3.0–3.3% applies to international payments received in foreign currencies.
Reducing Your Fees
Subscribing to an eBay Store reduces the default FVF from 13.4% to 10.4% — one of the largest store discounts across eBay markets. Store subscribers also benefit from much lower rates in categories like Computers (7%) and Electronics (9%). Top Rated Seller status provides a 10% FVF discount. For expensive items, the per-item cap (A$400–440) significantly limits fee exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does eBay charge in fees for Australian sellers?+
eBay Australia charges a tiered final value fee with payment processing included — no separate payment charge.
- Non-store sellers: 13.4% FVF for most categories, plus A$0.30 per-order fee.
- Store subscribers: reduced rate of 10.4%, plus A$0.30 per-order fee.
- Payment processing: included in the FVF (unlike eBay US/Canada where Managed Payments is separate).
The all-inclusive FVF structure makes fee estimation simpler on eBay Australia compared to markets with separate payment processing charges.
Is there a maximum fee cap on eBay Australia?+
Yes. eBay Australia caps the final value fee per item: A$440 for sellers without a store and A$400 for store subscribers. Once the calculated FVF reaches this cap, no additional FVF is charged on that sale regardless of the sale price. This makes eBay Australia especially cost-effective for high-value items. For example, on a A$5,000 item, the effective fee rate drops to just 8–8.8% instead of the full 10.4–13.4%.

- Store: 10.4% on the first A$4,000, then 2.5% above.
