What eBay takes from your sale, from wherever you're registered.
eBay.com takes 13.6% up to $7 of the whole sale, shipping and sales tax included, plus $0.40 an order. A seller registered abroad also pays an international fee on every US buyer, 1.3% to 3.3% depending on the country, and up to 3.5% more if eBay converts the payout. A US company pays neither on US sales.

What a seller registered abroad pays on a US buyer.
eBay sets the international fee by where you're registered, and charges it whenever the buyer is outside your own country. Countries with their own eBay site, such as the UK, Germany and Australia, use that site's fee page instead.

What eBay asks of a US business seller.
An EIN. The company's tax number, which every plan of ours includes.
A physical business address. No PO boxes. A registered agent's address isn't your place of business, so plan for a US street address where the business operates.
A business checking account. In the company's name, verified with its routing and account numbers.
Its owners' details. eBay asks about every owner and officer. A single-member LLC owned from abroad gives US payers a W-8BEN in the owner's name; our W-8BEN helper fills it in.

In most categories, 13.6% up to $7,500, then 2.35% of the total amount of the sale, plus $0.40 an order ($0.30 on orders of $10 or less). On a $50 item with $8 shipping that's $8.29. Books, movies and music pay 15.3% up to $7.
Yes. The total amount of the sale includes the item, handling, the shipping the buyer pays and the sales tax eBay collects for the state.
An international fee on every sale to a buyer outside your own country, so every US buyer: 1.7% from India, 1.3% from most of Asia-Pacific, 1.55% from the rest of the world, and 3.3% to the US from an EU country without its own eBay site. On the same $50 sale from India, with eBay converting the payout, fees come to $10.74.
When eBay converts your funds into another currency, it keeps a percentage on top of the base rate: 3.0% for most sellers registered abroad, 2.5% in Malaysia and Israel, 3.5% in Latin America, and 3.25% for US-registered sellers. eBay raises it on 2 December 2026.
Not on US buyers. eBay charges a US-registered seller the 1.65% international fee only when the buyer or the delivery address is outside the US, and pays out in dollars to a US bank, so nothing is converted.
The legal business name, its EIN, a physical business address in the country of registration (no PO boxes), details of its owners and officers, and a business checking account in the company's name.
