How to Cancel Your eBay Store Subscription in 2026

eBay Store plans range from $4.95 to $299.95/month. If your sales volume doesn't justify the subscription, you can downgrade or cancel — you'll still be able to sell on eBay without a store.

How to Cancel Your eBay Store

Go to eBay Seller Hub → Store → Subscription
Click Cancel Subscription (or Downgrade to a cheaper tier)
Select your reason for cancelling
Confirm the cancellation

Your store stays active until the end of your current billing period. After that, your listings revert to standard eBay listings with standard fees.

eBay Store Pricing Tiers

Starter: $7.95/month (or $4.95/month annual) — 250 free listings
Basic: $25.95/month (or $21.95/month annual) — 1,000 free listings
Premium: $74.95/month (or $59.95/month annual) — 10,000 free listings
Anchor: $349.95/month (or $299.95/month annual) — 25,000 free listings
Enterprise: Custom pricing — 100,000+ free listings

Annual Plan: The ETF Trap

⚠️ If you're on an annual plan and cancel early, eBay charges the difference between the monthly rate and the annual rate you've been paying. This can be significant for higher-tier stores.

Wait until your annual renewal date to avoid the early cancellation fee. Check your subscription page for the exact renewal date.

Selling Without a Store

You can still sell on eBay without a store subscription:

You get 250 free listings per month without a store (same as the Starter store!)
After 250 listings, you pay $0.35 per listing
Final value fees are slightly higher without a store (13.25% vs 12.35%)
You lose store customization (logo, categories, vacation mode)

💡 Math check: The Starter store saves you 0.9% on final value fees. On $7.95/month, you need to sell ~$883/month in goods just to break even on the fee savings. If your sales are below that, the store subscription isn't worth it.

Alternatives to eBay Stores

Facebook Marketplace: Free, no fees on local pickup sales, huge audience
Mercari: 10% selling fee, simpler interface, built-in shipping labels
Poshmark: 20% fee, but great for fashion/clothing specifically
Etsy: $0.20/listing + 6.5% fee — better for handmade/vintage items
Shopify: $29/month — build your own store with lower transaction fees if volume justifies it
