23 countries. 14 have their own eBay site and fee schedule (USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Ireland, Poland, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Australia). Sellers in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and India list on other eBay sites — their pages combine that site's fees with the international fee for their country.

Fee calculations
What is the eBay final value fee in Switzerland?
Private sellers pay 11% (11% up to CHF 1,990, 2% on the rest), plus CHF 0.10 (orders < CHF 10) / CHF 0.55 per order. Business sellers pay 6.5%–11% depending on category (most categories: 11% up to CHF 990, 2% on the rest), plus CHF 0.55 (orders ≤ CHF 10) / CHF 0.65 per order.
Do private sellers pay eBay fees in Switzerland?
Yes, but less than many expect: Private sellers pay 11% up to CHF 1,990 and 2% above, plus a small per-order fee.
How does the per-order fee work?
The per-order fee is charged once per order, however many items the buyer checks out together. On eBay.ch: private sellers CHF 0.10 (orders < CHF 10) / CHF 0.55; business sellers CHF 0.55 (orders ≤ CHF 10) / CHF 0.65.
What is the regulatory operating fee?
A small percentage of the total sale that eBay charges in the UK and Europe: private sellers 0.38%, business sellers 0.35%.
How are ROI and margin calculated?
Net profit = total sale (item price + shipping charged) − eBay fees − item cost − your shipping cost. ROI = net profit ÷ (item cost + your shipping cost). Margin = net profit ÷ total sale. Example: a CHF 110 sale with CHF 35 of costs and CHF 15 of fees gives CHF 60 net profit, a 171% ROI and a 54.5% margin.
Stores & seller performance
Do store subscriptions lower my fees?
On eBay.ch, shops give you more free listings and cheaper extra listings, but they don't change the final value fee. They pay off when you list a lot of items.
What happens if my seller performance drops?
eBay adds percentage points to the final value fee: Below Standard +6 points (+7 after four months in a row), and a very high 'item not as described' rate +4 points in the affected categories. Only one surcharge applies at a time. Top Rated and Above Standard sellers pay nothing extra.
International selling
How do international fees work for Switzerland?
Private sellers: Eurozone, Switzerland & Sweden free, Rest of Europe, USA & Canada 1.73%, United Kingdom 1.3%, Rest of world 3.57%. Business sellers: Eurozone, Switzerland & Sweden free, Rest of Europe, USA & Canada 1.6%, United Kingdom 1.2%, Rest of world 3.3%.
Do I pay currency conversion fees?
Only when eBay converts your money because you list or sell on an eBay site in another currency. For Switzerland-registered sellers the charge is 3%, rising to 3.25% from 2 December 2026.
Advanced
Are promoted listings worth it?
Promoted listings (general) charge an ad rate you choose — usually 2% to 20% — only when a buyer clicks the ad and buys. They suit high-margin items and crowded categories. Use the slider to see how each percentage point hits your profit.
Is there a separate payment processing fee?
No. eBay includes payment processing in the final value fee, so there's no extra 2.9% + fixed fee like older PayPal-era guides mention.
