If you want to open a store on eBay, you must first have a legally registered business user who can provide all the relevant documents required by eBay, such as ID information, personal photos and address certificates (address certificates that match the registered address). The second is to prepare a PayPal account and a dual-currency credit card for payment-related operations. Last but not least, you must register as a business account when registering, and a merchant can only register one business account.

Registering on eBay is completely free, and all additional service fees will depend on your usage. These include the following additional fees:

① Release fee

The additional service fee charged for releasing products is charged separately according to listing and category. If you release a product in two categories, you will have to pay the additional service fee twice for the product. In addition, if you release a product that is not sold, you will still have to pay the fee that is difficult to refund. Similarly, if you re-release the product, eBay will also re-charge the additional service fee for releasing the product.

②If your product is successfully sold, eBay will charge a transaction additional service fee. The final transaction fee is charged as a percentage of the total amount paid by the buyer, mainly including shipping and handling fees. The final value of the shipping fee depends on the shipping service selected by the buyer. For most types, the final transaction service fee is 10% of the total sales, and the upper limit of the service fee is $750.

③ Additional fees

In some special cases, you may need to pay other fees. For example, if you want to use classified ads to sell products, you need to pay a $9.95 publishing fee. On the other hand, if you want to upgrade ordinary listings, you need to pay an additional service fee of $0.10 to $5.00, depending on the upgrade. The upgrade content mainly includes international website visibility and adding listing subtitles.

④ Payment processing additional service fee

It is important that the credit card processing additional service fee may not originate from eBay, but this additional service fee is still paid when selling on eBay. If you use your own third-party payment platform, you will bear the additional service fee corresponding to the established processor. In addition, if you allow customers to pay with PayPal, PayPal will deduct the transaction fee.
