eBay now manages payments. If eBay sends your sales proceeds directly to your bank account, and you see Available funds in your payments summary, then your account is already activated for managed payments and the fees on this page are no longer relevant to you. Please refer to our Selling fees for managed payments sellers article for the fees that apply to your account.

When you add the best offer option to your eBay listings, you’re inviting buyers to negotiate with you. After a buyer makes an offer, you can choose to accept, decline, or make a counteroffer. If you want to encourage buyers interested in your items to make a purchase, you can also send them offers.
When you list an item for sale in an eBay auction, you choose a starting price, and interested buyers place bids. When the auction ends, you sell to the highest bidder.
As a seller, there are some situations where you can cancel bids that have been placed on your auction-style listings. However, once canceled, a bid can’t be reinstated.
If a buyer doesn’t receive their item, they’re entitled to a refund unless you can provide tracking information showing that it was delivered.

When you create a seller account, you’ll need to add a payment method to pay for any eBay selling fees or charges. You can choose direct debit, credit card, or PayPal.
Your invoice summarizes all your monthly selling activity. It shows payments you’ve made, selling fees, discounts, any refunds or credits applied to your account during the billing cycle, and recoupment charges.
Your eBay account balance shows the current balance of any fees from your recent selling activity. It also shows any past due amounts.
If your item doesn't sell, or if there was an issue with the transaction that you resolved, you may qualify for a credit of some or all of the fees you paid.
After you’ve made a sale on eBay, it’s usually a smooth process to complete the transaction with the buyer, but sometimes you might find yourself in a situation where the buyer hasn’t yet paid for the item they bought. If that happens, you should contact the buyer to try to resolve the issue. We’re always here to step in and help if needed.
When a buyer purchases one of your items on eBay, how you get paid will depend on the payment methods you offer and which one the buyer chooses at checkout.
If your buyer hasn’t gone directly through eBay checkout, you may need to send them an invoice.
When you accept payment through PayPal, your buyers pay directly to your PayPal account. You’ll get an email to let you know you’ve been paid.
We know how important it is for you to receive your money as soon as possible. However, sometimes eBay or PayPal needs to put a hold on your funds until your transaction is complete.

Making sure buyers receive great service from all our sellers is one of our top priorities. Our seller levels and performance standards help you track your performance and let buyers shop with confidence.
While it doesn’t affect your seller performance, we understand that positive feedback is important to you. If you believe feedback you received from a buyer isn’t accurate or fair, you can try to resolve the situation by replying to the feedback or by requesting a feedback revision.
Leaving feedback for your buyers is a great way to say thank you. We recommend you leave feedback for your buyers as soon as they’ve paid—they’ll be more likely to leave prompt feedback for you in return.
There may be times when you want to reply to feedback a buyer has left for you, or add a comment to feedback you’ve previously left for someone else. You can’t change feedback you’ve left for a buyer, but you can ask a buyer to reconsider feedback they left for you.
eBay sellers have control over who can bid on and buy their items. You can block individual buyers or set buyer requirements based on specific criteria.
When you’re selling on eBay, you might sometimes need to get in touch with a buyer. Depending on whether they’ve already purchased an item from you, or have just bid on one of your listings, you’ll be able to contact them in slightly different ways.
If you’re having a problem with a buyer because they’re not following our rules, let us know and we’ll look into it.
