eBay Ireland still charges private sellers — unlike eBay France and eBay Italy, which went free in September 2026. On eBay.ie a private seller pays 11% of the total sale (2% on any part above €1,990), €0.05 per order under €10 or €0.35 above, and a 0.43% regulatory fee. Business sellers have their own category table. Because so many Irish sales go to UK buyers, the international fee matters here more than almost anywhere else.

Selling to UK buyers
The UK is outside the eurozone, so every sale to a UK address carries an international fee. Since Brexit, parcels to Great Britain also need a customs declaration, and the buyer may pay import VAT. Private sellers pay:
| Buyer's delivery region | International fee |
|---|---|
| Eurozone & Sweden | Free |
| Rest of Europe, USA & Canada | 1.97% |
| United Kingdom | 1.48% |
| Rest of world | 4.06% |
Business sellers pay less: 1.2% to the UK and 1.6% to the rest of Europe, the USA and Canada.
eBay Shops
Shops are for business sellers and reduce listing costs (without one: €0.35 per fixed-price listing, €0.50 per auction). They don't lower the final value fee.
| Plan | Monthly fee | Free listings | Effect on final value fee |
