The best way to check the insertion fee is here . taking into account what kind of item it is (media, clothing, electrical) and the starting price you want to list it at. If you want extra features you’ll have to pay a little more – like a gallery, or the ‘buy it now’ feature. It seldom costs more than 50p, but check here to get the exact amount. These fees are all payable upfront before your listing goes live. After your item has sold, you then have to pay a Final Value fee to eBay. This is 10% of the final sale price up to a maximum of £75.
