eBay Eliminates Seller Fees for UK Private Sellers

In a move to compete with emerging platforms, eBay has removed fees for private sellers across most categories, effective immediately.

eBay's new policy removes final value and regulatory operating fees for private sellers in the UK, excluding vehicles.
The change follows a successful trial with pre-owned clothes earlier this year, which led to a significant increase in listings.
CEO Jamie Iannone stated that the goal is to lower barriers to C2C selling, enhancing the marketplace's inventory diversity.
The decision comes amid rising competition from platforms like Vinted and Depop, which also do not charge seller fees.
A survey indicated that 294 million unused items in UK households could generate £9 billion in resale income, encouraging more people to sell on eBay.
