eBay continues to look for ways to improve the marketplace to help you manage your business more efficiently, accelerate your sales velocity, and bring more buyers to you. For example, eBay recently launched spendable funds, a new way for you to pay for items on eBay using proceeds from your sales, and introduced additional payment options for higher priced items.
To help support changes eBay is making to the marketplace that benefit all eBay users, it is increasing some final value fees. At the same time, eBay is decreasing the cost of some optional listing upgrades that give buyers more purchase options and make it easier for you to manage your listings.
eBay is also expanding the fee credit it gives you when you provide great service by fully refunding a buyer’s return.

Expanding the per-order fee credit
When: February 15, 2023 / April 1, 2023
Where: ebay.com, ebay.ca, cafr.ebay.ca, ebay.co.uk
Last year eBay announced that it will give your $0.30 per-order fee back to you when you approve a buyer’s cancellation request before you ship your item. Based on positive feedback received from sellers, eBay is expanding the per-order fee credit when you provide excellent service to the buyer by issuing a full refund. Starting February 15, 2023*, when a buyer returns an item for any of the following reasons, eBay will extend the $0.30** credit for returns that you voluntarily refunded:
- Ordered by mistake
- Don’t like it
- Changed my mind
- Doesn't fit
- Found a better price
eBay will also credit the $0.30** per-order fee when you issue a full refund of the order through the Send refund flow.

When: February 15, 2023 / April 1, 2023
Where: ebay.com, ebay.ca, cafr.ebay.ca
Starting February 15, 2023*, the Buy It Now listing upgrade for auction-format listings and the Scheduled listing upgrade will be free for all eBay sellers. The Buy It Now upgrade allows you to set an item price and gives buyers the option to purchase your item immediately so they don’t have to wait for your auction to end, and the Scheduled listing upgrade gives you control to decide when to start your listings.
To simplify optional listing upgrades, Bold and Gallery Plus listing upgrade fees will no longer be based on the auction starting price or Buy it Now item price. As of February 15, 2023*, both optional listing upgrades will be charged one low fee.
* For ebay.ca, cafr.ebay.ca — starting April 1, 2023.
