Along with this, we'll automatically credit prorated portions of other applicable fees including Promoted Listings Standard and international fees.
Fees such as the $0.30 per-order fee, Promoted Listings Express fee, and Promoted Listings Advanced fee will not be refunded. We want to support your efforts to make things right for your buyers and adjust your fees accordingly.
