Commission & payouts

One sliding scale, no hidden cuts. The commission rate drops as the sale price goes up, because the work of listing a £400 jacket and a £40 one is almost identical — so the bigger sale shouldn't be taxed the same.

Sale price	Our commission	Worked example
£15 – £49	35%	e.g. £25 sells → you get £16
£50 – £149	30%	e.g. £60 sells → you get £42
£150 – £499	25%	e.g. £160 sells → you get £120
£500+	20%	e.g. £600 sells → you get £480

Commission is calculated on the final sale price, before eBay's own seller fees — which we absorb, not you.

Try it yourself

Enter what you think an item will sell for.

Items expected to sell for under £15 generally aren't worth sending — postage and listing time cost more than the commission would recover. Ask us if you're not sure; bundling several small items as one lot often clears the minimum.

What else comes off the top

eBay & payment processing fees: Covered by us, not deducted from your payout separately — they're already priced into the commission above.
Postage on a sale: Charged to the buyer at cost, not to you.
Withdrawal fee — £20: Only if you ask for an item back after it's live with no bids. Free to change your mind before it's listed.
Return postage on unsold items: Only if you choose to have unsold items posted back rather than donated, deducted from your next payout or invoiced directly.

Worked example

A jacket sells for £80. That falls in the £50–£149 band, so our commission is 30% — £24 — and you receive £56. A watch sells for £600: that's the £500+ band at 20%, so you receive £480 even though the sale price is over seven times the jacket's.
