Fees if an item does not sell

If I list an item and it does not sell are there any fees? What about if it's within the first 50 items listed a month?

Fees if an item does not sell

If you've run out of free listings, you'll pay the listing fee. If you don't use any optional features, there is no other fee.

Your first 50 listings are free to LIST, as long as you don't use any upgrades - bold titles, 1 or 3 day auctions, second category, etc. If you don't sell anything, and don't use any upgrades, there are no fees. Final value fees (FVF) are only charged if something SELLS, and it is assessed when the listing ends with a buyer/winner and NOT when the buyer actually pays.  If you have a non-payer you will have to file an unpaid item dispute (UID) to get your FVF credited back.

The easier you are to offend the easier you are to control.

@coolthings357

Fees for UNSOLD items only apply if you add Upgrades to your listing like Bold Text, Reserver Price on Auctions, etc. 

If you are on the Everyday Rate plan getting 50 FREE insertion fees per month then those are all not charged.  if you go voer 50 in a one month period, with either new listings or Relisting then they cost 30 cents each.  So listing # 51 and up in a given month, be it new or a Relist = 30 cents

You get 50 free basic insertions per month.  If you use those up, then you have to pay for any additional insertions (30 cents each). If an auction-format listing sells, you get a credit for the insertion fee.

 

If you use optional listing upgrades (reserve, subtitle, etc.) those are charged to your  eBay invoice when the listing goes live, and they are nonrefundable.

 

If the item sells, you are charged a final value fee.  If the buyer doesn't pay, there's a process to get a credit.  If the item doesn't sell, there's no final value fee.
