When you publish an **auction**, **real-estate listing**, or **vehicle listing** as a seller, **listing fees** may apply. Exact amounts are **configured platform-wide** and may vary by category, options, and seller plan.
**Where do I see the costs?**
• In the **auction wizard** (fees step / before publish) you get a **live breakdown** of all line items.
• For real estate and vehicles, fees are shown before you **publish** the listing.
• Amounts are usually shown as **net**, **VAT**, and **gross (incl. VAT)**.
**When are fees charged?**
Listing fees are usually debited **immediately on publish** from your **seller account**. If balance is insufficient, you receive an **invoice** with a payment deadline. A negative balance is possible — sale proceeds offset open amounts.
**What fee types exist?**
• **Base listing fee** per listing
• **Subtitle**, **extra categories**, **additional gallery images**
• **Premium options** (highlight, XXL gallery, homepage placement)
• **Reserve price**, **buy now**, **buyer protection** (if enabled)
• **Category fees** (depending on selected category)
• **Real-estate** and **vehicle listing fees**
**Note for new sellers:** Some options may be restricted until unlock criteria are met (see the seller unlock help article).
**Sales commission:** In addition to listing fees, a **commission** on the sale price may apply on a **successful sale** — settled during payment processing, not when creating the listing.
