Selling

You can end an eBay fixed price listing at any time, but auction listings can only be ended early in certain situations.

The guidelines on this page are for ending a listing early in most categories (including Motors Parts & Accessories). Motors vehicle listings have different guidelines. Learn more about ending an eBay Motors vehicle listing early.

When you list an item on eBay, you choose how buyers pay you. In most categories, you must accept either PayPal or credit and debit cards.

If you’re a managed payments seller, forms of payment will be automatically set. You don’t need to do anything. Your buyers will be able to pay with credit or debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal. 

To increase your chances of making a sale, you’ll usually want as many potential buyers as possible. However, we understand that there may be certain types of buyers you don’t want to do business with. To manage who can buy from you, you can use our buyer requirements feature.

You can usually make changes to your eBay listings, but there are some restrictions depending on what you want to change and when. There’s no fee to revise a listing unless you add a special feature.

If an item you list on eBay doesn’t sell, we can automatically relist it for you to get it back in front of buyers.

You can find a history of the items you’ve sold in My eBay or Seller Hub.

eBay Guaranteed Delivery makes it easy for sellers to offer an exceptional experience to buyers by offering fast, accurate, and reliable delivery times, while buyers can narrow their search results based on how quickly they want an item delivered.

For buyers, knowing when they can expect an item to arrive is an important factor when making a purchase. That's why we always show an estimated delivery date on eBay listings.

Uploading tracking details after you've sent an item enables you and your buyer to follow its journey, all the way through to delivery.

When you create a listing using the calculated shipping option, we use our shipping calculator to automatically update the shipping charge a buyer sees, based on their location, and the details you provide on your package and delivery service.

Offering shipping discounts can encourage buyers to add more of your items to their purchase. You can automatically apply a discount to the shipping cost when a buyer purchases multiple items, offer carrier-specific discounts, or even offer savings on shipping as a promotional tool in your listings.

Selling internationally is a great way to grow your business, and it's easy to get started. Simply add international shipping and your listings will become available to millions of eBay buyers worldwide.
