What is a Final Value Fee on eBay Australia?
eBay's Final Value Fee (FVF) is the commission charged when an item sells. For most categories in 2026, it's 13.4% on the first AU$4,000 of the transaction, then 2.4% above that, capped at AU$440 — but only for sellers with annual sales above AU$25,000. Under that threshold, no FVF applies at all under eBay's current Australian fee structure. The FVF also applies on the shipping amount charged to the buyer, not just the item price.

Key things to know for Australian sellers
Australian online selling has its own quirks: GST registration thresholds, Australia Post rate structures, and platform-specific buyer behaviour differ from the US and UK advice you'll find most readily online. Checking ATO guidance directly and using the Australia Post postage calculator for accurate quotes are good starting points.
Using multiple platforms together
Most successful Australian resellers end up selling across at least two platforms. The marginal effort to list on a second platform is much lower if you already have photos and a description, and reaching two different buyer pools meaningfully increases your chances of a sale.
