On eBay.nl, private sellers pay 11% of the total sale (2% on any part above €1,990), a per-order fee of €0.05 under €10 or €0.35 above, and a 0.42% regulatory fee. Business sellers pay 11% on most categories up to €990 per item, much less on electronics, and €0.35–€0.45 per order. Here's the full picture, with examples.

Business sellers (zakelijke verkopers)
Business sellers pay €0.35 per order up to €10 and €0.45 above, plus a 0.35% regulatory fee. Fees exclude VAT. The final value fee depends on the category and is tiered per item:
| Category | Final value fee |
|---|---|
| Most categories | 11% up to €990, 2% on the rest |
| Electronic devices | 6.5% up to €300, 2% on the rest |
| Electronics accessories | 6.5% up to €200, 2% on the rest |
| Home appliances | 11% up to €300, 2% on the rest |
| Car electronics & sat navs | 11% up to €300, 2% on the rest |
| Tyres & rims | 6.5% up to €990, 2% on the rest |

| Garden & DIY | 11% up to €200, 2% on the rest |
| Musical instruments | 11% up to €300, 2% on the rest |
The same €188 smartphone costs a business seller €13.33 — electronics are one place where a business account is cheaper than a private one.
International fees
Sales to the eurozone and Sweden are free of international fees. Elsewhere, private sellers pay:
| Buyer's delivery region | International fee |
|---|---|
| Eurozone & Sweden | Free |
| Rest of Europe, USA & Canada | 1.94% |
| United Kingdom | 1.45% |
| Rest of world | 3.99% |
and business sellers pay:
| Buyer's delivery region | International fee |
|---|---|
| Eurozone & Sweden | Free |
| Rest of Europe, USA & Canada | 1.6% |
| United Kingdom | 1.2% |
| Rest of world | 3.3% |
Like the final value fee, the international fee is charged on the total including postage. Buyers in the USA and Canada are in the same band as non-euro Europe.
eBay winkels (stores)
Winkels cut listing fees for business sellers (otherwise €0.35 per fixed-price listing and €0.50 per auction). They don't lower the final value fee.
| Plan | Monthly fee | Free listings | Effect on final value fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| No store | — | — | — |
| Basiswinkel | €19.50 | 400 | None (listing benefits only) |
| Topwinkel | €39.50 | 2,500 | None (listing benefits only) |
| Topwinkel Plus | €149.50 | Unlimited | None (listing benefits only) |
Performance surcharges
Below Standard sellers pay extra percentage points on the total sale — not just on the final value fee:
| Seller status | Surcharge on the total sale |
|---|---|
| Top Rated / Above Standard | None |
| Below Standard | +6 points (+7 points after 4+ months) |
| Very high 'item not as described' rate | +4 points in the affected categories (+5 points after 4+ months) |
Marktplaats or eBay?
Marktplaats is where most Dutch buyers look first for local, everyday items, and placing a basic ad there is free in most categories. eBay costs more per sale, but every listing on eBay.nl can reach buyers across Europe, with eBay's buyer protection and payment handling built in. A practical split: furniture and bulky local items on Marktplaats; collectibles, niche parts and anything with buyers abroad on eBay.
