To list items on Bob Shop is FREE and sellers only pay a commission (success fee) for successful sales. There is a charge for listing items in the classifieds format and in certain categories, as well as for optional enhancements. For details, see our fee rate card.
Fee payment methods
Sellers can view their account at any time in the my account section. To see every individual transaction, select the detail view.
- Basic sellers are billed upfront and need to pay any applicable fees in advance.
- Advanced sellers are invoiced on the first working day of every month for all fees incurred during the previous month. The fees are automatically debited from your Bob Shop account by the 7th of each month (or the next nearest working day). If you do not have sufficient funds in your Bob Shop account, the fees are debited from your credit card or your bank account. If you settle your account before the 5th of the month, Bob Shop will not attempt to debit your credit card or your bank account. If Bob Shop's debit order fails, you have until the 15th of the month to pay for the previous month's outstanding balance.
There are two options for paying your Bob Shop account manually (this does not apply to basic sellers who list in the classifieds format):
