How eBay Fees Work in Australia
eBay Australia uses a tiered fee structure that charges sellers a percentage of the total sale amount on every transaction. The total sale amount includes the item price, shipping charged to the buyer, and any applicable taxes. Unlike some platforms that charge separate payment processing fees, eBay includes managed payments processing in their final value fee.
The fee you pay depends on three key factors: your eBay store subscription level (No Store, Basic, Featured, or Anchor), the category tier your item falls into (Tier 1 through Tier 4), and whether you've provided your Australian Business Number (ABN) to eBay. Sellers without a store subscription pay a flat 13.4% (including GST) on most items, while store subscribers benefit from lower rates that vary by category tier.
An important distinction for Australian sellers: non-store seller fees already include GST, while store seller fees are listed excluding GST. If you're a store subscriber and haven't provided your ABN to eBay, an additional 10% GST is added on top of all fees. Registering your ABN is one of the easiest ways to reduce your effective eBay fees in Australia.

Understanding eBay's Category Tiers
eBay Australia groups item categories into four tiers that determine your final value fee rate. Understanding which tier your items fall into is essential for accurate profit calculations and pricing decisions.
Tier 1 - Lowest Fees
Technology Devices: laptops, smartphones, TVs, gaming consoles, cameras, tablets, desktop PCs, audio equipment, and more.
Example: Selling a laptop on a Basic Store = 7.3% FVF
Tier 2 - Standard Fees
Everything not in Tier 1, 3, 4, NFTs, or Services. This is the default tier for most general items.
Example: Selling homewares on a Basic Store = 10.4% FVF
Tier 3 - Higher Fees
Vehicle Parts & Accessories. A dedicated tier for automotive parts and accessories sellers.
Example: Selling car parts on a Basic Store = 11.3% FVF
Tier 4 - Highest Fees
Collectables, Fashion (Clothing/Shoes/Accessories), Media (Books/Movies/Music), Sporting Goods, Business & Industrial, and Technology Accessories.
Example: Selling a Pokemon card on a Basic Store = 11.9% FVF
Additional eBay Australia Fees
Promoted Listing Fees
Promoted Listings let you boost your item's visibility in search results. You choose an ad rate (typically 2-5%) which is charged on the total sale amount only when a buyer clicks your promoted listing and completes a purchase within 30 days. For example, a 3% ad rate on a A$100 sale costs an additional A$3.00. This fee is subject to GST if you haven't provided your ABN.
International Selling Fees
When your buyer is located outside Australia, eBay charges an international selling fee of 1% (excl. GST) for store sellers or 1.1% (incl. GST) for non-store sellers. If the buyer pays in a different currency, there's also a 3% currency conversion fee (excl. GST) for stores or 3.3% (incl. GST) for non-store sellers.
Below Standard Seller Surcharge
Sellers with a Below Standard performance rating face an additional 5% surcharge (excl. GST) on the total sale amount for every transaction. For non-store sellers, this is 5.5% (incl. GST). On a A$200 sale, this penalty costs an additional A$10-$11. Maintaining Above Standard or Top Rated status eliminates this costly surcharge.
How to Reduce Your eBay Fees in Australia
Register your ABN with eBay
If you have a store subscription and haven't registered your ABN, you're paying an extra 10% GST on all eBay fees. Registering your ABN is the single biggest fee reduction available to Australian sellers.
Open an eBay Store if selling regularly
A Basic Store at A$24.95/month can save you 1.5-6.1% per transaction compared to no store. If you sell more than 15-20 items per month, a store subscription almost certainly pays for itself.
Maintain Above Standard or Top Rated status
Avoid the 5% Below Standard surcharge by maintaining good seller performance metrics. Ship on time, provide accurate descriptions, and handle returns professionally.
Use promoted listings strategically
Start with a low ad rate of 2-3% rather than eBay's suggested rate. Only use promoted listings for competitive categories where the extra visibility translates to faster sales.
List in lower-fee categories where appropriate
Technology Devices (Tier 1) have the lowest fees. If an item could legitimately be listed in multiple categories, choose the one with lower fees. Always ensure your category selection is accurate to avoid eBay policy violations.

What are eBay store fees in Australia 2026?
eBay Australia offers three store tiers: Basic (A$24.95/month), Featured (A$74.95/month), and Anchor (A$549.95/month), all excluding GST. Each tier provides progressively lower final value fees. For example, Tier 2 (most categories) rates are: Basic 10.4%, Featured 9.4%, Anchor 8.8%. All store prices exclude GST. A store subscription makes sense if you sell more than 15-20 items per month.
Does eBay charge GST on seller fees in Australia?
Yes, but it depends on your setup. Non-store sellers pay fees that already include GST (e.g., 13.4% includes GST). Store sellers see fees listed excluding GST. If you've provided your ABN to eBay, you can claim GST credits on your BAS return. If you haven't provided an ABN, eBay adds 10% GST on top of all store fees, making them significantly more expensive.
What is the eBay international selling fee in Australia?
eBay Australia charges an international selling fee of 1% (excluding GST) for store sellers, or 1.1% (including GST) for non-store sellers, on the total sale amount when your buyer is located outside Australia. There's also a currency conversion fee of 3% (excl. GST) for stores or 3.3% (incl. GST) for non-store sellers when the buyer pays in a different currency.
How much does an eBay Basic Store cost in Australia?
An eBay Basic Store in Australia costs A$24.95 per month (excluding GST), or A$27.45 including GST. This gives you access to lower final value fees across all four category tiers, 250,000 free listings per month, and access to advanced seller tools. The Basic Store typically pays for itself if you sell more than 15-20 items per month, depending on your average sale price and category.
What categories have the lowest eBay fees in Australia?
Technology Devices (Tier 1) have the lowest fees on eBay Australia: 7.3% (Basic), 6.6% (Featured), or 6.2% (Anchor), all excluding GST. This includes items like laptops, smartphones, gaming consoles, TVs, cameras, and tablets. NFTs also have low rates at 5% (stores) or 5.5% (no store). The highest fees are in Tier 4 categories like Collectables, Fashion, and Sporting Goods.
What happens if I'm a Below Standard seller on eBay Australia?
Below Standard sellers on eBay Australia face an additional 5% surcharge (excluding GST) on the total sale amount for every transaction. With GST included, this becomes 5.5% for non-store sellers. This penalty is on top of all other fees, which can significantly eat into your profits. Maintaining Above Standard or Top Rated status is crucial to avoiding this costly surcharge.
Are promoted listing fees worth it on eBay Australia?
Promoted listings can be worthwhile if used strategically. You choose an ad rate (typically 2-5%) which is charged only when a buyer clicks your ad and purchases within 30 days. For competitive categories, promoted listings can increase visibility by 20-30%. Start with a low rate (2%) and increase if needed. Keep in mind the ad fee applies to the total sale amount including shipping, so factor this into your pricing.
How do I reduce my eBay fees in Australia?
The best ways to reduce your eBay Australia fees are: 1) Register your ABN with eBay to avoid 10% GST on store fees, 2) Subscribe to an eBay Store if you sell regularly (saves 2-5% per transaction), 3) Maintain Above Standard or Top Rated seller status to avoid the 5% Below Standard penalty, 4) List items in lower-fee categories where appropriate, and 5) Use promoted listings strategically at low rates (2-3%) rather than high rates.
What is the maximum eBay fee cap in Australia?
eBay Australia caps the final value fee at A$440 (including GST) for non-store sellers and A$400 (excluding GST) for store subscribers. This cap applies to the FVF portion only and doesn't include per-order fees, promoted listing fees, or other surcharges. The cap mainly benefits sellers of high-value items — for example, on a A$5,000 sale without a store, you'd pay A$440 instead of the calculated A$561 in FVF.
