eBay Stores Terms and Conditions

Effective November 9, 2020

These eBay Stores Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") describe the terms pursuant to which eBay offers you access to our eBay Store service, and all related services, applications and tools (together the "Service"). Your use of the Service is subject to our User Agreement and all applicable terms or policies on the eBay site (including any selling limits, listing policies and the Payment Terms of Use). All existing selling limits on your account (as well as category and item limits) may prevent you from creating the maximum number of listings associated with your particular eBay Store subscription.

• 1. eBay Stores

  To open an eBay store, you must choose a Store subscription level. There are 3 eBay stores (“Store”) types:

  • Basic Store
  • Premium Store
  • Anchor Store

  As used in these Terms:

  1. "calendar month" shall mean the first of the month through the last day of the month.
  2. "billing cycle" shall mean the approximate 30-day period during which a seller may accrue fees, discounts, refunds or credits. A billing cycle may begin at the beginning of the month, or in the middle of the month. If you are a seller that pays fees by monthly invoice, your billing cycle is the same 30-day period included in your invoice (e.g. April 1 through April 30, or April 16 through May 15).
  3. “Subscription Start Date” shall mean the date that you sign up for your Store subscription. You may start a subscription at any time.
  4. “Mandatory Subscription Period” shall mean the period between the Subscription Start Date and the end of the first full calendar month of your current subscription.

• 2. Subscriptions

  The term of a Store subscription may be either monthly or yearly. A subscription term will start the first day of the first full calendar month falling after your Subscription Start Date. A monthly Store subscription renews for continuous, one-month periods spanning the first day of the calendar month to the last day of the calendar month. A yearly Store subscription renews for continuous, twelve-month periods spanning the first day of the first calendar month to the last day of the last calendar month. The period spanning the first day of the first full calendar month falling after your Subscription Start Date through the last day of the one-month or twelve-month period included in your subscription is the “Subscription Term.”

  All Store subscriptions renew automatically, unless canceled or modified under these Terms. If you have a yearly subscription, we'll contact you at least 15 days prior to the end of the term of your subscription via email or a message sent to My eBay to remind you that the term of your subscription will automatically renew. Quebec residents who initially subscribed for a yearly subscription will automatically renew for an indeterminate period at the then current monthly rate.

• 3. Fees for Stores Subscriptions

  By registering for an eBay Store, you agree to pay all applicable fees for eBay Store subscribers (“eBay Store Fees”).

  1. If you are not a managed payments seller, you agree to pay the eBay Store Fees stated on our Store selling fees page, as may be updated from time to time.
  2. If you are a managed payments seller, you agree to pay the eBay Store Fees for managed payments sellers, as stated on the Store selling fees page for managed payments sellers, as may be updated from time to time.

  Store Subscription Fees

  eBay Store Fees include, but are not limited to, recurring store subscription fees (“Store subscription fee”). You will pay a Store subscription fee each month of a current subscription (monthly or yearly). The Store subscription fee will be charged at the beginning of your billing cycle. Upon renewal of your subscription, the Store subscription fee will be the fee associated with your Store package at the time of renewal.

  Zero Insertion Fee Listings

  Zero Insertion Fee listings (“ZIFs”) and other benefits that may be included with your Store subscription are described on the Store selling fees page, or the Store selling fees page for managed payments sellers, respectively. ZIFs are allocated to sellers in a fixed amount per calendar month. Unused ZIFs and other benefits don’t carry over to the next calendar month and are reset at the beginning of each calendar month. After you have used your ZIF allocation, your listings will be subject to an insertion fee, as described in the Store selling fees page, or the Store selling fees page for managed payments sellers, respectively.

• 4. Billing and Payment

  eBay Store Fees are payable by you as follows:

  1. If you are not a managed payments seller, eBay Store Fees are included on your monthly invoice.
  2. If you are a managed payments seller activated prior to November 9, 2020, and your Store subscription began before your activation date, Store subscription fees are included on your monthly invoice. Final value fee, Seller currency conversion fee, and International fees are retained from the current or future payouts related to your Stores transactions. If your payouts are insufficient, eBay will charge your payment method on file (debit or credit card, and/or linked bank account), or otherwise collect eBay Store fees from you as set forth in the Payments Terms of Use.
  3. If you are a managed payments seller activated on or after November 9, 2020, and your Store subscription begins after your activation date, eBay Store Fees are retained from your current or future payouts. If your payouts are insufficient, eBay will charge your payment method on file (debit or credit card, and/or linked bank account), or otherwise collect eBay Store Fees from you as set forth in the Payments Terms of Use. Your eBay Store Fees may be aggregated with other charges. We will generate a statement of fees, refunds, credits, and other transactions associated with your selling activity each month (the “Financing Statement”). You may view your Financing Statement on the Seller Hub.

• 5. Initial Charges, Billing and Benefits

  When you sign up for a Stores subscription, we will charge you:

  1. a prorated Store subscription fee equal to the number of days occurring from your Subscription Start Date to the first day of your Subscription Term (the “Prorated Period”), and
  2. the Store subscription fee for the next full month of your subscription (the “First Full Subscription Month”).

  (combined, the “Initial Subscription Charge”)

  Your Store benefits start immediately. You receive your entire ZIF allotment for the calendar month when you sign up, regardless of when you sign up. For example, if you sign up for a Stores subscription on May 22, you receive your entire ZIF allotment for May immediately.
