From 12th March 2009, there's no insertion fee if you're a private seller and you list your item in an eligible category in the auction-style format with a starting price of up to €1.49.
View fees for:
When you list an item on eBay in the Auction or Buy It Now formats, you are charged:
An Insertion Fee based on the item starting price or reserve price
Feature Fees, if you select optional features to increase your chances of selling successfully when listing the item
If the item sells, you also pay a Final Value Fee based on the item final selling price.
The total cost of selling the item is the Insertion Fee, the Feature fees (if any) plus the Final Value Fee. Please note that some fees differ for business sellers and for private sellers. Where this is the case, the fees are labelled 'private seller' or 'business seller'.
For example:
If you list an item as an auction with a starting price of €4.99 and select the Item Subtitle listing upgrade, you will pay €0.75 to list your item:
Optional Feature Fee (Item Subtitle): €0.50
If you're a private seller, when you sell your item in auction format, you will pay 10% of the item final selling price as the Final Value Fee, up to a maximum Final Value Fee of €50. If the item does not sell, there is no Final Value Fee. Please note that some fees differ for business sellers and for private sellers. Where this is the case, the fees are labelled 'private seller' or 'business seller'.
Note: Stated eBay fees include 15% VAT for residents of the EU. This is calculated at the Luxembourg rate of VAT. Find out why. Usually invoices sent to you will quote fees with VAT included.
Different fees apply for vehicle listings within the Cars, Parts & Vehicles category. Please see the eBay Motors fees page for further details

Notes about eBay fees
In the event your seller account is suspended for any reason, any amounts due on your Seller account will immediately become due and payable. eBay reserves the right to immediately charge any amounts you have not previously disputed to the billing method that you are using.
Fees pay for the right to sell on eBay. Sellers do not purchase exclusive rights to Web pages on eBay. We may, in our sole discretion, and without your consent or payment to you, place third-party advertisements on any Web page within our site.
Insertion fees and optional feature fees are charged at the time of listing and are non-refundable.
eBay requires payment in full each month on accounts with balances of €1.00 or greater. eBay may suspend your account for non-payment of eBay fees. If you have not paid your outstanding eBay fees after our reminders and warnings, eBay reserves the right to refer your account to an outside collection agency for collection of the outstanding eBay fees. Please note that the collection agency will also charge you a proportionate and reasonable fee for the collection of the unpaid eBay fees, which will vary according to the amount owed and which will be payable in addition to the outstanding eBay fees.
