Updated February 2026 · Difficulty: Easy · $4.95-299.95/mo
⚠️ Annual Plans Have Early Termination Fees
eBay annual store subscriptions save ~30% vs monthly, but canceling early incurs an early termination fee equal to the remaining months at the discounted rate. Monthly plans can be canceled anytime with no penalty.
How to Cancel
- Go to ebay.com > Seller Hub
- Click Store tab > Manage Store
- Find Subscription > Cancel Subscription
- Choose when: immediately or at end of billing period
- If on annual plan, you'll see the early termination fee — review before confirming
- Confirm cancellation
- Your listings remain active until the subscription ends

Do You Actually Need a Store?
eBay gives every account 250 free listings per month without a store subscription. If you list fewer than 250 items, you may not need a store at all. The store becomes worthwhile when:
- You regularly list more than 250 items/month
- The lower final value fees on the store tier save you more than the subscription cost
- You want the custom store URL and branding options
- You use eBay's promoted listings heavily and want the analytics tools
What Happens to Your Listings
- Active listings remain active until the subscription period ends
- After cancellation, listings over the 250/month free limit will not auto-renew
- Your store URL (stores.ebay.com/yourname) stops working
- You revert to a standard seller account with 250 free listings/month
- Listing insertion fees apply beyond the free allowance ($0.35/listing)
Alternatives to eBay
- Mercari (free to list): Simple selling app, 10% seller fee. Best for casual sellers
- Poshmark (free to list): Fashion-focused, 20% seller fee. Built-in audience for clothing
- Facebook Marketplace (free): Local sales, no fees for local pickup. Best for furniture and large items
- Shopify ($39/mo): Your own store. Lower per-sale fees but no built-in audience. Best for branded products
- Amazon ($39.99/mo Professional): Massive audience. Higher fees but significantly more buyers
💡 The Downgrade Strategy
Instead of canceling entirely, consider downgrading to a Starter store ($4.95/mo annual). You keep 250 free listings (same as no store) plus the custom URL and lower final value fees. At less than $60/year, it's worth it if you sell even a few items per month.
