Do I pay eBay fees if an item does not sell?
No final value fee is charged if an item does not sell. Listing fees only apply once you exceed your free listing allowance — private sellers get 300 free listings per month, after which each additional listing costs 35p. If you relist an unsold item within the free allowance, no fee is charged.
How does eBay Managed Payments work?
eBay processes all payments directly through its Managed Payments system and deposits net proceeds (selling price minus fees) into the seller's linked bank account, typically within 1-2 business days. PayPal was removed from eBay UK checkouts in 2023 — buyers pay via card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal (which eBay routes through Managed Payments). There are no additional payment processing fees charged to sellers beyond the final value fee.
