Avoiding Allegro maintenance fee

Many sellers on Allegro ask themselves: can the maintenance fee be avoided? Good news – yes, it can! And in accordance with the regulations. In this article, we will show you how the maintenance fee works, when it is charged, and what to do to avoid paying it.

#What is the Allegro maintenance fee?

The maintenance fee is an additional charge that Allegro can apply for listed offers that do not sell for a longer period.

Currently (as of June 2025), the fee usually amounts to around 5 groszy for each offer that:

has not been completed with a sale for 365 days,
is still active,
has not been edited or refreshed by the seller.

It's a small amount, but if you have hundreds or thousands of such offers – it can add up to a significant sum.

#How to avoid the maintenance fee?

Allegro clearly states when the fee will not be charged. Here are some simple and regulation-compliant ways to avoid it:

#1. End and relist

If an offer is not bringing sales, it is worth ending it and listing it again. This way:

the offer gains a “fresh” status,
it appears higher in search results,
it avoids the maintenance fee.

#2. Set up an automatic relisting schedule

With the tool AleAsystent.pl, you can schedule automatic relisting of offers every few months. This is a convenient and effective solution.

#Is this in accordance with Allegro's regulations?

Yes! All the methods described are fully compliant with Allegro's rules. The platform does not hide that it wants to promote active offers, not “dead listings.” Avoiding the fee through conscious management of offers is even recommended.

#Summary

The maintenance fee is a cost that can be easily avoided. All you need to do is:

close and relist unsold products,
or use automation through AleAsystent.

This is a small step that can lead to significant savings – especially if you run a large store.
