1. Publishing Fees

If you publish your article on eBay US, eBay will charge you a certain percentage of the fee; if your article sells, you need to pay a small part of the fee. So, the basic cost of selling things on eBay is royalties plus costs. The fees incurred will also depend on the publication format of the items you choose - auction or bite. Note: If the number of advertisements exceeds the number of free listings, a fee of $0.3 will be charged for each. In the free section, some goods or products will not be included.

2. Transaction costs

eBay's transaction fee is calculated based on the fees paid by the buyer, including product fees and logistics fees. Since there is no store, the transaction fee for most products is 10% of the total sales, but the maximum cannot exceed US$750. Note: In the US site, if your account sales performance falls to below standard seller, the fee charged based on cost price will increase by a certain percentage!

3. Payment Fees

There is a certain percentage of the fee during the sales process. If the monthly sales amount is different, it will be charged according to the standard rate or preferential rate.

4. Other optional expenses

There are different fees for stores of different levels. There are two types of fees: monthly and annual. The monthly advertising volume, advertising fees, and transaction fee ratios vary for stores of different levels. However, the higher the store level, the more free listings there are, and the lower the other fees. If you want to add additional store features, you will need to pay extra.

First, register an account, then complete the seller's account information, and the process of opening a store is completed. The method is very simple, but the prerequisite is that you must prepare the materials required for opening a store.
