When You Pay the Listing Fee
The $0.50 listing fee is charged up front when you publish — not when your item sells.
You pay when you publish — before any sale
The one-time $0.50 listing fee is charged the moment you publish a listing, not when it sells. Your listing goes live as soon as the payment succeeds. It is charged to your saved card up front.
You pay it whether or not the item sells
Because it is a fee to publish the listing — not a fee on the transaction — it applies regardless of whether your listing ever finds a buyer. If a listing never sells, the $0.50 is not refunded.
Free events are the exception
Free events (no ticket price) are exempt — no listing fee is charged to publish them. Every other listing pays the $0.50 fee to go live.
It is separate from per-sale fees
The $0.50 listing fee is the only upfront cost. The per-sale seller and buyer fees are taken out of the transaction only when something actually sells — so you never pay those on a listing that does not sell. Those per-sale fees are calculated on the item price plus any shipping you charge (Local Market), never on tax.
