eBay announces new buyer fees and payment changes for sellers starting in 2025

eBay will implement significant changes in 2025, including a new fee for buyers and delayed payments for sellers. Buyers will pay an additional fee on top of item prices, though details on the fee structure are still pending. Sellers will only receive payment after buyers confirm item delivery, starting February 4, 2025. Additionally, private sellers must use eBay's shipping system for postage, expanding from clothing to all listings early next year. These changes follow eBay's removal of selling fees in October, allowing sellers to keep more earnings. The platform aims to help households declutter by encouraging sales of unused items.
