Seller Account Type

eBid offers two types of seller accounts. The first is the most basic, where sellers can list products for free, but need to pay a 3% commission to the platform when the products are sold; the second is that sellers pay a one-time fee of $99.98 and get a SELLER+ account, and then they don’t have to pay commissions. The SELLER+ account has more features, such as the ability to import listings from platforms such as Amazon, eBay, and Etsy. It also allows sellers to operate up to 5 stores and customize their stores.
