Motors vehicles listings are those within the Cars & Trucks, Motorcycles, Powersports, Boats, and Other Vehicles & Trailers categories.
Are you selling parts and accessories? The fees are different for parts, accessories, automotive tools, and supplies. Read our article on standard selling fees
High vs low volume sellers
Your exact Motors fees vary depending on the number of vehicles you list in a calendar year, which starts on January 1 and ends on December 31. Each time you submit a listing, or relist your item, it counts as one listing.
The first time you list vehicles on eBay and the number of vehicle listings you create in that calendar year determine whether you're a low or high volume Motors seller. If you list up to 6 vehicles in a year, you're considered a low volume seller, and anything more than that makes you a high volume seller. Once you become a high volume seller, you'll keep that status permanently, year after year. The fees you'll pay will depend on your status and your vehicle's price.
Listing durations
When you create a listing, you can use the auction-style or fixed price format with a listing duration of 3, 5, 7, and 10 days. If you use fixed priced, you can also list your vehicle for up to 21 days. We charge a fee for 10 and 21-day durations.
Insertion and successful listing fees
We charge an insertion fee when you list a vehicle. We also charge a successful listing fee when your vehicle sells, if the sale meets one of these criteria:
- You receive a bid on your auction-style listing (if you have a reserve price, the bid must meet that reserve)
- A buyer selects Buy It Now in your fixed price listing
- You accept a Best Offer
The amount of the successful listing fee depends on whether you're a low or high volume Motors seller and the vehicle's price which is the final bid amount, Buy It Now price, or your accepted Best Offer.
