Understanding eBay.ca Selling Fees
Final Value Fee
eBay Canada charges a tiered final value fee calculated on the total sale amount (item price + shipping). Non-store sellers pay 13.6% on the first C$7,500, then 2.35% above. Store subscribers pay 12.7% on the first C$2,500, then 2.35% above. Following the March 2025 increase, Canadian rates are slightly higher than eBay US, with similar category-based variations.
Managed Payments & Additional Fees
All eBay Canada sales use Managed Payments, which charges 2.7% of the total transaction (including taxes) plus C$0.25 per order. A C$0.30 per-order fee also applies. International sales incur a 1.65% additional fee. The combination of FVF, per-order fee, and Managed Payments brings the total effective fee to approximately 16–17% for most transactions.
Reducing Your Fees
Subscribe to an eBay Store to lower the FVF from 13.6% to 12.7% and access reduced rates in key categories (Computers at 7%, Electronics at 9%). Top Rated Seller status gives a 10% FVF discount. For high-value sales, the tiered structure caps the rate at 2.35% above C$7,500 (or C$2,500 for stores), significantly reducing fees on expensive items.
