eBay has announced that they will increase the final value fee structure for a select number of products under the watch category. The good news is that actual watches are not affected, and they make up more than 90% of sales in the category.

Instead, the three main sub-categories affected are – Watch Accessories (260328), Parts, Tools & Guides (173696), and Watches Mixed Lots (51020).

The new store fees will be coming into effect from the 12th of September 2022.
