How much does eBay Italy take?
It depends which track you are on. A private seller pays about 5% of the total (item plus postage) up to €2,000, then 2% above, plus a €0.35 order fee and a 0.43% regulatory fee. So on a €50 item with free shipping, eBay's cut is roughly €3.06. Those consumer rates already include IVA, and the buyer pays nothing extra.
A professional seller pays a category commissione instead, plus the same €0.35 and a 0.35% regulatory fee, and then 22% IVA is added on top of all of it. So on a €100 item with €5 postage in an 11% category, the fee is €12.27 before IVA, or €14.97 with the 22% added. Hold a partita IVA and that IVA is reverse-charged, bringing you back to €12.27. The fee always applies to the postage you charge too, so your real cut sits a little above the headline rate.

How eBay Italy seller fees work
Italy runs two fee tracks. Which one you are on changes everything, so the number above depends first on whether you sell as a private or a professional seller. Here is every fee that can come out of a sale.
Private sellers pay too
Italy does not have free private selling, the way the UK does. A private (venditore privato) seller pays a 5% commissione on the total sale up to €2,000, then 2% on the part above, plus a €0.35 fixed fee and a 0.43% regulatory fee. These consumer rates already include IVA, and there is no separate buyer fee.
Professional commissione
Professional (professionale) sellers pay a category commissione instead, roughly 6.5% to 12.5%: about 11% for most categories, 11% for clothing (2% above €990), 6.5% for tech, and 12.5% for vehicle parts. It is charged on item plus postage.
Fixed and regulatory fees
A flat €0.35 per order, charged once per order rather than per item, plus a regulatory fee: 0.35% for professionals and 0.43% for private sellers, where the IVA is already baked in. Both apply to the full amount the buyer pays, item plus postage.
22% IVA on professional fees
eBay quotes every professional fee net of IVA, then adds 22% Italian IVA on top: the commissione, the €0.35 fee, the regulatory fee and any promoted listings. Hold a valid partita IVA and the fees are reverse-charged, so you recover the IVA and it nets out. Without one, that 22% is a real cost. Use the VAT-registered toggle to switch.
Per-order and listing fees
Private sellers get a monthly batch of free listings; after that, extra listings cost a small insertion fee. The €0.35 per-order fee is separate and lands on every sale, private or professional, whether or not you also pay an insertion fee.
International fee
When the buyer is outside the Eurozone and Sweden, professional sellers pay an extra fee on the sale: about 1.95% to the rest of Europe, the US and Canada, 1.46% to Great Britain, and 4.03% to the rest of the world. Sales inside the Eurozone do not trigger it.
Negozio and Top Rated discounts
A Negozio (shop) subscription can lower the variable commissione at higher tiers and adds free listings, though the exact discount varies. Affidabilità Top (Top Rated) sellers can earn up to a 10% discount on the variable part of the fee on qualifying listings.
Real eBay Italy sale examples
€30 item, private seller
A private seller pays 5%: €1.50 on €30, plus the €0.35 order fee and a 0.43% regulatory fee (€0.13). That is about €1.98 in fees, IVA already included, with no buyer fee. If the shirt cost you €8, you keep €20.02. Italy charges private sellers, unlike the UK.
€100 item, professional
Most categories are 11%. On €100 + €5 postage that is €11.55, plus €0.35 and a 0.35% fee (€0.37) = €12.27 before IVA. Add 22% IVA (€2.70) for €14.97 total. With a partita IVA you reverse-charge that IVA, so the real cost is €12.27.
€200 jacket, professional
Clothing is 11% up to €990. On €200 + €8 postage that is €22.88, plus €0.35 and a 0.35% fee (€0.73) = €23.96 before IVA, or €29.23 with 22% IVA. A partita IVA brings it back to €23.96.
What counts as a good profit on eBay Italy?
There is no official "good" margin, but the math is simple. After eBay's cut (about 5% for a private seller, or the category rate plus 22% IVA for a professional) and your own costs, what is left is your real profit. The calculator gives you three numbers to judge it. Net profit is the euros in your pocket, margin is that profit as a share of the sale, and ROI measures it against what you spent to source and ship the item.
Fast-moving items can work on a thin margin because you turn them over quickly. Slow items need a fatter one to be worth the space. Use the breakeven price the calculator gives you as your floor, then price above it with the margin you want.
How to pay less in eBay Italy fees
- ✓If you qualify, sell as a private seller. The Italian private rate (about 5%) sits well below the professional category rates.
- ✓List in the right category. Professional rates run from about 6.5% to 12.5%, so the category you pick changes your fee.
- ✓If you have a partita IVA, the 22% IVA on fees is reverse-charged. Factor that back into your real cost instead of counting the full IVA as lost.
- ✓Earn Affidabilità Top status for up to a 10% discount on the variable commissione.
- ✓Skip Promoted Listings (Inserzioni sponsorizzate) on thin-margin items. The ad rate, plus its 22% IVA, comes straight off your profit.
- ✓Stay within your free listings each month so insertion fees do not pile up on top of the €0.35 per order.
eBay Italy fee calculator FAQ
Do private sellers pay fees on eBay Italy?
Yes. eBay Italy does not have free private selling. A private (venditore privato) seller pays a 5% commissione on the sale up to €2,000, then 2% above, plus a €0.35 fixed fee and a 0.43% regulatory fee. These consumer rates already include IVA, and there is no separate buyer fee.
How much are eBay fees in Italy?
For a private seller, about 5% of the sale plus the €0.35 order fee and a 0.43% regulatory fee. For a professional seller, a category commissione of roughly 6.5% to 12.5% plus €0.35 and a 0.35% regulatory fee, with 22% IVA added on top of all fees.
What percentage does eBay take in Italy?
A private seller pays 5% up to €2,000, then 2% above. A professional seller pays a category rate, reported from about 6.5% for tech to 12.5% for vehicle parts, with most everyday categories near 11%. Professionals then add 22% IVA on those fees.
How much does eBay take from a €100 sale in Italy?
On a €100 item with free shipping, a private seller pays about €5.78: a €5.00 commissione, the €0.35 order fee, and a €0.43 regulatory fee. A professional in an 11% category pays the commissione plus those fees plus 22% IVA. The calculator above shows your exact number.
Does eBay.it add IVA on its fees?
Yes, for professional sellers. eBay quotes its Italian professional fees net of IVA, then adds 22% Italian IVA on top of every one: the commissione, the per-order fee, the regulatory fee and promoted listings. Hold a partita IVA and you reverse-charge it, so it is neutral. Without one, you bear the 22%.
Do professional sellers pay more than private sellers on eBay Italy?
Usually yes. A private seller pays a flat 5% (then 2% above €2,000). A professional pays a category rate that for most goods sits near 11%, then adds 22% IVA on the fees. The trade-off is that a professional account unlocks shop tools and higher listing volumes.
Is there a buyer protection fee on eBay Italy?
No. The buyer protection fee exists only on eBay UK and Australia. In Italy the seller pays the commissione, and the buyer pays nothing extra beyond the item price and postage.
Does eBay charge fees on shipping in Italy?
Yes. The commissione and the regulatory fee are calculated on the full amount the buyer pays, which includes the postage you charge. Forgetting that the fee also applies to postage is the most common DIY-calculator mistake. This one gets it right.
Does eBay charge a fee if my item doesn't sell in Italy?
No. The commissione is charged only when an item sells. Listing is free up to your monthly allowance; after that it is a small insertion fee per listing, charged whether or not the item sells. The €0.35 per-order fee only lands on actual sales.
Does an eBay Negozio lower my fees in Italy?
A Negozio (shop) subscription can reduce the variable commissione at higher tiers and adds free listings, but the exact discount varies. Subscribe for the listing volume first, then treat any fee reduction as a bonus.
How do I calculate my real profit on eBay Italy?
Profit = sold price + postage charged − eBay fees (including the 22% IVA if you are a professional who cannot reclaim it) − item cost − the postage you actually pay. Enter all four costs above and the calculator returns your net profit, margin, ROI and breakeven in euros.
