What fits Best Buy
Electronics and appliances sit at the core. Since the marketplace launched in August 2025 the range also reaches into seasonal decor, automotive tech, office and home, movies and music, and musical instruments.
What stays off this marketplace
Best Buy names a list of products sellers may not offer. Thin content or a missing UPC also stalls items at the checks, and we clean that up first.
Questions sellers ask about Best Buy.
What does selling on Best Buy cost?
Best Buy charges a platform fee of $29.99 per month for each seller store, and billing starts once your first sale has come in. On top of that comes a commission per sale, at a rate Best Buy sets per product category and applies to the item price plus the shipping you charge: sell a $200 item with $10 shipping and the commission is counted over $210. Those rates live in the Marketplace Portal. The e-tailize program comes on top, from EUR 249 per month.
Do I need a UPC to sell on Best Buy?
Yes. Best Buy sets up each item on the UPC and condition you provide, and that pair decides the category and the commission rate. Several sellers can list against the same UPC. In the e-tailize PIM your codes and content stay in one place.
Who ships Best Buy marketplace orders?
You do. Best Buy expects orders to ship in most cases within two business days, and you set your ship time at one or two days. Orders not flagged as shipped within three business days can be cancelled, and your cancellation rate stays under 3 percent.
How do returns work on Best Buy?
Shoppers have a return window of 15 days and can ship an item back with a prepaid label or hand it in at a Best Buy store. Either way it comes back to you, and the return shipping comes off your seller account. Process it in the portal within a business day of receipt.
When do I get paid?
Completed order activity is invoiced weekly and the payout follows 14 days after the invoice date, straight to your bank account. Commission and the platform fee come off before it goes out.
Why go through e-tailize?
