Yes.

 

You pay a Final Value fee on the Item sold as well as a Final Value fee on the cost of postage.

 

The FVF on shipping is based on your domestic setting. So if you have free domestic shipping, you pay no FVF on shipping when the item sells regardless of who bought it and whether or not they paid postage to you to ship it internationally.

Yes. Total price.

How much depends which eBay you list on.

Final value fees on shipping

Final values fees on shipping charges are calculated using the shipping service the buyer chooses.

However, when you offer an international or express shipping service and it's selected by your buyer, the way your final value fee for shipping is calculated varies.

 

If you list on eBay.ca

If you list on eBay.ca and a Canadian buyer purchases your item, your final value fee for shipping is calculated using the shipping service that the buyer chooses.

If you list on eBay.ca and a US or international buyer purchases your item, your final value fee for shipping is calculated using whichever service is less expensive, either:

* The first domestic service in your listing that isn't express, or
* Your international or express shipping service

 

For example, if a buyer chooses international shipping and you specified free shipping as your first domestic option on your eBay.ca listing, you don't pay any final value fees on shipping charges for that item. If international or express shipping is the only service you offer, your final value fee for shipping charges will be calculated on that service.

 

 

If you list on eBay.com

If you list on eBay.com and a US buyer purchases your item, your final value fee for shipping is calculated using the shipping service that the buyer chooses.

If you list on eBay.com and a Canadian or international (non US) buyer purchases your item, your final value fee for shipping is calculated using whichever service is less expensive, either:

  • The first US shipping service in your listing that isn't express, or

  • Your Canadian or express shipping service

     

Sellers from outside of Canada

If you're a seller from one of the following countries (China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, or Vietnam) and your item isn't located in Canada, final value fees on shipping charges are always calculated using the shipping option your buyer selects.
