The minimum is €15
A payment request or proposal can be sent when the Item price is at least €15. Only the item price counts: the shipping costs are not added to reach the minimum.
If you enter a lower item price, the form shows the message "The minimum amount is € 15,00" and the button Send payment request (or Send proposal) stays disabled.
What does the buyer pay on top?
On top of the item price and shipping costs the buyer pays a percentage for buyer protection and a service fee of €2. The summary in the form shows the exact amounts before anything is sent. Read more in How to use payment requests with buyer protection.
Selling an item below €15
For an item cheaper than €15 no payment request can be created, so you trade without buyer protection. Agree clearly on payment and shipping in the chat and read Trading without a payment request and our tips for buyers first.
