eBay eliminates sneaker seller fees for North America market
Any sneakers sold for $100 or more in the North America seller community of eBay will no longer be charged selling fees. 

With an estimated 1.5 million live sneaker listings at any time, the online marketplace expects the move to further grow its selection of new and used styles in every price point and geographic market. 

"For our community of diehard sneakerheads, eliminating selling fees allows them to turn their kicks into more cash to fund future purchases, and results in a more robust sneaker inventory for shoppers everywhere,” said Jeff Chan, eBay’s head of men's footwear and apparel. 

According to eBay, so far this year 6 million sneakers have sold in North America, and a sneaker is sold on eBay every 1.5 seconds.
