You get up to 15 days from the invoice date when they issue the invoice, according to what I've pasted in below, or that's how I read it. I assume they wouldn't be considered late or unpaid until after 15 days. They say invoices are issued on the 15th or on the last day of the month but in reality they usually don't send invoices for at least 2 or 3 days. It's all found on this page: https://sellercentre.ebay.com.au/invoices-paying-your-fees It's under the section for private sellers but I assume business sellers would be the same. I can't find anything under business sellers. According to them, to be a business seller you have to have a pp business account so they probably don't consider most of us to be business sellers just because we have a store.
On that page they have a table showing when they deduct the fees according to what sort of account your fees are automatically deducted from. It also says you have to be set for automatic deduction but you can change it at any time (meaning where they deduct it from). You can choose which day of the month it comes out if you're set up for automatic direct debits but they may limit exactly which days you can choose.
"Once you've set up your automatic payment method, we’ll collect whatever you owe automatically within 15 days of you receiving the invoice, so you don’t have to do anything."
Late or Unpaid Fees
Until we receive your payment, you won't be able to list any new items. We may still charge any outstanding fees for sales from open listings and subscriptions, so make sure you pay as quickly as possible.
If you don’t pay your selling fees, we may suspend your account. We’ll send reminders and warnings first, but if you continue not to pay, we reserve the right to refer your account to a debt collection agency. This agency will charge you an additional fee for collecting any unpaid fees, depending on how much you owe.
