From 1 September 2026, eBay Italia stopped charging private sellers. If you're a venditore privato registered in the EEA, there's no final value fee and no regulatory fee when your item sells. If you sell as a business (venditore professionale, with a partita IVA), you pay 6.5% to 12.5% depending on the category, plus €0.35 per order and 0.35% regulatory fee.

Frequently asked questions
Is eBay Italia free for private sellers?
Yes, for private sellers registered in the EEA since 1 September 2026. You can still pay for extra listings, upgrades and international delivery outside the eurozone and Sweden.
Do I pay fees on shipping costs?
As a business seller, yes: the final value fee and the regulatory fee are calculated on the total the buyer pays, postage included.
Do I need a partita IVA to sell on eBay?
Not to sell your own used items occasionally. If you buy to resell or sell regularly for profit, it's a business activity — talk to a commercialista. eBay also reports sellers with 30+ sales or over €2,000 a year to the Agenzia delle Entrate under the EU's DAC7 rules.
