No. ExcessList is free to use. Buyers can search and message sellers at no cost, and sellers can list single items or bulk upload inventory without paying any listing fees.

How do I list multiple items at once?
Sellers can upload listings one at a time or use the bulk import tool to add large groups of products. The system guides you through the required fields and helps you get everything posted quickly.
