Important
The information on this page applies only to customers who live in the European Union. Customers who live outside the European Union should read our article on how fees and selling costs are charged.
Because fees and selling costs are deducted from the proceeds of your sales, your payout amount may be different than the amount your buyer paid. Payouts are sent to your bank account daily or weekly, depending on your selected preference.

How and when fees are charged
Fees and other selling costs are automatically deducted from your Available and Processing funds. These are charged at different times depending on the fee type.
| Type of fee or selling cost | When the fee is charged | Where the fee is charged from | Example of fee or selling cost |
| Listing fees | At the time of the listing | Available and Processing funds | Insertion fees, listing upgrade fees |
| Transaction fees | At the time of the sale | Buyer’s payment | Final value fees, international fees |
| Monthly fees | At the middle or end of each month | Available and Processing funds | Store subscription fee |
| Other fees and selling costs | At the time they’re incurred | Available and Processing funds | Ad fees, refunds to buyers, dispute fees |
If your fees exceed your Available and Processing funds, we’ll attempt to charge your on-file payment method. Learn more about setting up and changing your payment method for fees and selling costs.
If you’re accepting payment by payment on pickup, COD (Cash on Delivery), bank-to-bank transfers, or money orders, your fees are charged to your available funds or on-file payment method when checkout is completed.
