How the bands are applied
Per item, on the final eBay price
Your percentage is worked out per item, from the final sale price on eBay, before the postage the buyer pays. Send in ten cards and each one finds its own band, so a £40 card and a £4,000 card in the same parcel are paid at different rates.
Where we list several copies of the same item individually, each unit sold counts as its own item at its own price, even when one buyer takes several in a single checkout. A lot we create as one listing is the opposite, one item at the total lot price. Both cases are written out in full in our terms.
There is a higher tier. Sell £50,000 or more with us in any rolling twelve month period and you may be moved onto our VIP rates, which reach each of the higher bands sooner. The £3 handling fee on sales under £50 is the same on both.
See the VIP rates and how to qualify, including the two tiers side by side and a calculator that compares them.
