We may email you a monthly invoice that details your seller fees, including fees for listings, sales, subscriptions, and refunds made to buyers. With a payment method set up, you don't need to do anything – we'll charge the invoiced amount automatically by the due date.
How to set up a payment method
- Go to your Seller Account in My eBay.
- Look for Payment methods for seller fees and select Change.
- From the dropdown menu, choose your preferred payment method.
- Enter your information. For direct debit or card payment, select Save. For PayPal, select Continue.
If you choose direct debit or credit card, you'll need to enter your bank or card details. If your card is declined during verification, while making payment, or at some other time, you should contact your card issuer.
You usually can't use a pre-paid credit card to verify your account.
If you choose to pay by PayPal, you'll be redirected to the PayPal site to complete the process.
Add an automatic payment methodTip
Update your payment details at least 2 business days before your invoice date to ensure we use the new information.
How to make a one-time payment
You can make a one-time payment on your eBay seller account using PayPal, direct debit or credit card. Just be sure to make your payment at least 5 days before the due date.
Since you're required to have an automatic payment method on file, be sure you aren't making a duplicate payment when you make a one-time payment for your fees.
You can make a one-time payment anytime. Here's how:
- Go to your Seller Account in My eBay.
- Look for Payment methods for seller fees, select one-time payment, and enter your payment details.
Payment requirements and late fees
We require that accounts with a fee amount of $1.00 or more be paid in full each month in order to maintain great experiences for buyers and sellers on eBay. If your account becomes past due, and you have an issue paying your fees, you should contact us.
We may suspend or restrict accounts if fees are not paid. You can read more about your responsibility when it comes to paying fees in the fees section of our User Agreement.
