font inspectorWhat font does eBay use?
A marketplace page is mostly small text: product titles, prices, labels. eBay made one neutral sans serif for all of it and loads only two weights.
Short answer: eBay’s website uses Market Sans, the company’s own typeface, for all text. It is self-hosted on ir.ebaystatic.com in Regular and Bold.

Sizes, weights and spacing by role
These are computed values from the live page, which is what the Font Inspector panel shows when you click each element.
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line height | Letter spacing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Headline | Market Sans | 36px | 700 | 1.28 | normal |
| Body text | Market Sans | 14px | 400 | 1.43 | normal |
| Navigation | Market Sans | 12px | 400 | 1.5 | normal |
| Button | Market Sans | 11px | 400 | normal | normal |
The main font stack in the CSS:
font-family: "Market Sans", Arial, sans-serif;- Only Regular and Bold are downloaded. Text set at weight 600 renders with the Bold file.
- Sizes go down to 10px and 11px for labels and footer links.
- One embedded component fetched Roboto from Google Fonts, and a
Reddit Sans Condensed Boldface is declared for a promotional module but not used on the home page.

About the fonts, and whether you can use them
Market Sans
eBay’s proprietary corporate typeface, a plain grotesque built for dense listings and small sizes, used across the website and apps.
Can you use it? No. Market Sans is not available to license. Inter and Roboto are free sans serifs with the same neutral, space-saving character.
Finding a font does not license it. More in how to get a font you found, legally.

}How we checked
We opened ebay.com in Chrome on November 5, 2026 and read the computed styles of its visible text: the declared font stack, the font actually rendered, and how much of the page’s text each family sets. That is the same data the Font Inspector extension shows under Fonts on this page. We re-check these pages periodically, and the date above shows the last inspection.
