- Starting from winter 2021, ebay has removed all mentions of paypal integration and fees since their roll out for managed payments has finished. Therefore, our calculator no longer provides an option to calculate associated paypal fees since no sellers are allowed to use paypal anymore and there is no longer any official information about it.
- Since the ebay managed payment rollout has concluded, paypal integration is no longer supported. With managed payments, there are currently no credit card processing fees or extra final value fee for selling vehicles on eBay Motors. This is confirmed by the lack of any mention of said fee on ebay documentation and also confirmed by ebay support. However, this may change at anytime.

Details about eBay Motors Fees in Canada
Fees are much simpler when selling vehicles on eBay Motors when compared to selling anything else on ebay, which involves a final value fee that varies based on a multitude of factors.
The fees are all fixed fees and they fall into three primary categories:
- insertion fees
- successful listing fees
- and optional listing upgrade fees
These fees can be further separated and organized based on the sale price, the item category chosen for the listing, and your seller type which depends on the volume of vehicles you sell in a year.
Seller Type Based on Volume
If you list up to six vehicles in a calendar year (January 1 to December 31), ebay considers you to be a low-volume seller. If you list seven or more vehicles in any calendar year, then ebay considers you to be a high-volume seller. Each time you submit a vehicle listing or relist a vehicle, ebay counts that as one listing. Once you become a high-volume seller, you'll keep that status permanently, year after year.
Successful Listing fees for low-volume sellers
- Note that there are no insertion fees for low-volume sellers.
- As the name suggests, this listing fee is only applied when you successfully complete a sale.
