Final value fee
Also called final-value fee, FVF
A final value fee is the fee eBay charges a seller when an item sells, calculated on the total amount of the sale.[1]
For watches, eBay applies it in price bands, charging a lower rate on the portion of the sale above each band, plus a small per-order fee.[1] Because it's charged on the whole order, shipping and tax the buyer pays are included.
When you compare selling channels, work the final value fee into your net proceeds for the specific price of the watch, since the effective rate changes with the price.
