eBay has just announced they are raising the minimum Promoted Listing Standard ad rate from 1% to 2%, effective July 11, 2022. This will affect many eBay sellers that use the minimum 1% setting, effectively doubling the Ad Rate fees those sellers will pay to eBay for sold promoted listings.
Other changes to the Promoted Listing Standard took affect June 1, 2022, at the beginning of this month. Previously, Promoted Listing Standard fees were calculated based on the sold price of the item only. Beginning this month, eBay began charging the ad rate based on the full selling price including the item price, shipping charge and state taxes. eBay selling fees are also based on the full selling price including item price, shipping charge and state taxes.
While the minimum ad rate has been raised from 1% to 2%, the maximum ad rate is still 100%.
