Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	Basis of Presentation QVC, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (unless otherwise indicated or required by the context, the terms "we," "our," "us," the "Company" and "QVC" refer to QVC, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries) is a retailer of a wide range of consumer products, which are marketed and sold primarily by merchandise-focused televised shopping programs, the Internet and mobile applications. In the United States ("U.S."), QVC's televised shopping programs, including live and recorded content, are distributed across multiple channels nationally on a full-time basis, including QVC, QVC2, QVC3, HSN, and HSN2. The Company's U.S. programming is also available on QVC.com and HSN.com, which we refer to as our "U.S. websites"; virtual multichannel video programming distributors (including Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV); applications via streaming video; Facebook Live, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Xfinity Flex and Samsung TV Plus; mobile applications; social media pages and over-the-air broadcasters. QVC's digital platforms enable consumers to purchase goods offered on our televised programming, along with a wide assortment of products that are available only on our U.S. websites and our other digital platforms (including our mobile applications, social media pages and others) are natural extensions of our business model, allowing customers to engage in our shopping experience wherever they are, with live or on-demand content customized to the device they are using. In addition to offering video content, our U.S. websites allow shoppers to browse, research, compare and perform targeted searches for products, read customer reviews, control the order-entry process and conveniently access their account. Internationally, QVC's televised shopping programs, including live and recorded content, are distributed to households outside of the U.S., primarily in Germany, Austria, Japan, the United Kingdom ("U.K."), the Republic of Ireland, and Italy. In some of the countries where QVC operates, QVC's televised shopping programs are distributed across multiple QVC channels: QVC Style and QVC2 in Germany and QVC Beauty, QVC Extra and QVC Style in the U.K. Similar to the U.S., our international businesses also engage customers via websites, mobile applications and social media pages. QVC's international business employs product sourcing teams who select products tailored to the interests of each local market. The Company's Japanese operations ("QVC-Japan") are conducted through a joint venture with Mitsui & Co., LTD ("Mitsui"). QVC-Japan is owned 60% by the Company and 40% by Mitsui. The Company and Mitsui share in all profits and losses based on their respective ownership interests. QVC-Japan paid dividends to Mitsui of $68 million, $60 million, and $62 million in the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Qurate Retail, Inc. ("Qurate Retail") (formerly Liberty Interactive Corporation) (Nasdaq: QRTEA, QRTEB and QRTEP), which owns interests in a broad range of digital commerce businesses, including Qurate Retail's other wholly-owned subsidiaries Zulily, LLC ("Zulily") and Cornerstone Brands, Inc. ("CBI"), as well as other minority investments. QVC is part of Qurate Retail Group ("QRG"), formerly QVC Group, a portfolio of brands including QVC, Zulily and CBI. The Company has revised its consolidated financial statements and related notes included herein to correct immaterial errors in depreciation expense in periods prior to 2020, along with deferred tax adjustments reported in 2020 and periods prior to 2020. Revisions have been reflected in the comparative 2021 financial statements to reduce property and equipment, net by $47 million and reduce deferred tax liabilities by $3 million, and revisions have been reflected in the comparative 2020 financial statements to reduce the opening January 1, 2020 retained earnings balance by $36 million and reduce the deferred tax benefit by $8 million. On June 27, 2022, Qurate Retail announced a five-point turnaround plan designed to stabilize and differentiate its core HSN and QVC- U.S. brands and expand the company's leadership in video streaming commerce (“Project Athens”). Project Athens main initiatives include: (i) improve customer experience and grow relationships; (ii) rigorously execute core processes; (iii) lower cost to serve; (iv) optimize the brand portfolio; and (v) build new high growth businesses anchored in strength. During 2022 QVC commenced the first phase of Project Athens including actions to reduce inventory and a planned workforce reduction. These initiatives are consistent with QVC’s strategy to operate more efficiently as it implements its turnaround plan. QVC recorded restructuring charges of $24 million in Restructuring and fire related costs, net of (recoveries) in the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2022, related to workforce reduction.

Television Distribution Rights [Abstract]
Schedule of television distribution rights	Television Distribution Rights, Net Television distribution rights consisted of the following: December 31, (in millions) 2022 2021 Television distribution rights $ 664 818 Less accumulated amortization (592) (673) Television distribution rights, net $ 72 145 The Company enters into affiliation agreements with television providers for carriage of the Company's shopping service, as well as for certain channel placement. If these television providers were to change the number of subscribers to the agreement through acquisition, it may change the amount paid by the Company. The Company's ability to continue to sell products to its customers is dependent on its ability to maintain and renew these affiliation agreements. In some cases, renewals are not agreed upon prior to the expiration of a given agreement while the programming continues to be carried by the relevant distributor without an effective agreement in place. The Company does not have distribution agreements with some of the cable operators that carry its programming. Television distribution rights are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the individual agreements. The remaining weighted average lives of the television distribution rights was approximately 1.7 years as of December 31, 2022. Amortization expense for television distribution rights was $116 million, $107 million and $133 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, related amortization expense for each of the next five years ending December 31 was as follows (in millions): 2023 $ 55 2024 16 2025 1 2026 — 2027 — In return for carrying QVC's signals, most programming distributors in the U.S. receive an allocated portion, based upon market share, of up to 5% of the net sales of merchandise sold via the television programs and from certain internet sales to customers located in the programming distributors' service areas. In some cases, we also pay programming distributors additional compensation in the form of incentives in exchange for their commitments to maintain specific channel positioning benchmarks. In Germany, Japan, the U.K., and Italy, programming distributors predominately receive an agreed-upon annual fee, a monthly fee per subscriber regardless of the net sales, a variable percentage of net sales or some combination of the above arrangements. The Company recorded expense related to these commissions of $358 million, $375 million, and $378 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which is included as part of operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

It was determined during the third quarter of 2022 that an indication of impairment existed for the QxH reporting unit related to its tradenames and goodwill. With the assistance of a third party specialist, the fair value of the tradenames was determined using the relief from royalty method, primarily using a discounted cash flow model using projections of future operating performance (income approach) and applying a royalty rate (market approach) (Level 3), and an impairment in the amount of $180 million related to the HSN tradename was recorded during the third quarter of 2022, in impairment losses in the consolidated statements of operations. After the triggering event and impairment loss recorded during the third quarter of 2022, the Company performed a qualitative tradename impairment analysis during its annual impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of 2022 and no further impairment was identified. Accumulated tradename impairment loss as of December 31, 2022 is $357 million. During the third quarter of 2022, with the assistance of a third party specialist, the fair value of the QxH reporting unit was determined using a discounted cash flow method (Level 3), and a goodwill impairment in the amount of $2,420 million was recorded during the third quarter of 2022, in impairment losses in the consolidated statements of operations. After the triggering event and impairment loss recorded during the third quarter of 2022, the Company performed a qualitative goodwill impairment analysis during its annual impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of 2022 and no further impairment was identified. Accumulated goodwill impairment loss as of December 31, 2022 is $2,420 million. Based on the quantitative assessment performed during the third quarter of 2022 and the resulting impairment losses recorded, the estimated fair values of the HSN tradename and the QxH reporting unit did not significantly exceed their carrying values as of December 31, 2022.

Exchangeable Senior Debentures 3.5% Exchangeable Senior Debentures As part of the common control transaction with Qurate Retail completed in December 2020, QVC Global, a subsidiary of the Company, became the primary co-obligor of the MSI Exchangeables, exchangeable for common stock of Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“MSI common stock”), and acquired all of the rights and liabilities associated with certain related hedges. The Company elected to account for its MSI Exchangeables using the fair value option. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these instruments were recognized as losses on financial instruments in the statements of operations and in other comprehensive income as it related to instrument specific credit risk on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Although we did not own underlying shares, the Company entered into certain derivative transactions in order to hedge against upward price fluctuations on certain shares of MSI common stock. Such derivative instruments were recognized in the other current assets line item in the consolidated balance sheets, and marked to fair value each reporting period. The changes in fair value were recognized in (losses) gains on financial instruments in the statement of operations. On October 27, 2021, a notice was issued to all holders to redeem any and all outstanding MSI Exchangeables on December 13, 2021. Bondholders had until the close of business on December 10, 2021 to exchange their bonds. During the fourth quarter of 2021, QVC Global delivered MSI shares, which were acquired pursuant to a forward purchase contract, to holders of the MSI Exchangeables with a fair value of approximately $573 million to settle the exchanges of the MSI Exchangeables. For holders who did not participate in the exchange, their bonds were redeemed on December 13, 2021 at adjusted principal, plus accrued interest and dividend pass-thru for a total cash payment of approximately $1 million. No MSI Exchangeables remained outstanding as of December 31, 2021. As a result of the exchange and the redemption, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statements of operations of $7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Senior Secured Notes All of QVC's senior secured notes are secured by the capital stock of QVC and have equal priority to the senior secured credit facility. The interest on QVC's senior secured notes is payable semi-annually with the exception of the interest on the 6.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2067 (the "2067 Notes") and the 6.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2068 (the "2068 Notes"), which is payable quarterly. During prior years, QVC issued $750 million principal amount of 4.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes") at an issue price of 99.968%, $600 million principal amount of 4.85% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 at an issue price of 99.927%, $600 million principal amount of 4.45% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 at an issue price of 99.860%, $400 million principal amount 5.45% Senior Secured Notes due 2034 at an issue price of 99.784%, $300 million principal amount of 5.95% Senior Secured Notes due 2043 at an issue price of 99.973%, $225 million of the 2067 Notes at par, and $500 million of the 2068 Notes at par. In June 2022, QVC completed its purchase of $536 million of the outstanding 2023 Notes pursuant to a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of its outstanding 2023 Notes (the "Tender Offer"). As a result of the Tender Offer, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statements of operations of $6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the remaining outstanding 2023 Notes are classified within current portion of long term debt as they mature in less than one year. On February 4, 2020, Q VC completed a registered debt offering for $575 million of the 4.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes") at par. Interest on the 2027 Notes is payable semi-annually in February and August, with payments commencing on August 15, 2020. On August 20, 2020, QVC completed a registered debt offering for $500 million of the 4.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes") at par. Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually in March and September, with payments commencing on March 1, 2021. In connection with the offering of the 2028 Notes, QVC completed a cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase any and all of its outstanding 5.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes"). QVC also issued a notice of redemption exercising its right to optionally redeem any of the 2022 Notes that remained outstanding following the Tender Offer. As a result of the Tender Offer and the redemption, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statements of operations of $42 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The senior secured notes contain certain covenants, including certain restrictions on QVC and its restricted subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) with respect to, among other things: incurring additional indebtedness; creating liens on property or assets; making certain loans or investments; selling or disposing of assets; paying certain dividends and other restricted payments; consolidating or merging; entering into certain transactions with affiliates; entering into sale or leaseback transactions; and restricting subsidiary distributions. Senior Secured Credit Facility On October 27, 2021, QVC entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with QVC, Zulily, CBI, and QVC Global, each a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Qurate Retail, as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”). The Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is a multi-currency facility providing for a $3.25 billion revolving credit facility, with a $450 million sub-limit for letters of credit and an alternative currency revolving sub-limit equal to 50% of the revolving commitments thereunder. The Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be borrowed by any Borrower (see note 14), with each Borrower jointly and severally liable for the outstanding borrowings. Borrowings bear interest at either the alternate base rate (“ABR Rate”) or a LIBOR-based rate (or the applicable non-U.S. Dollar equivalent rate) (“Term Benchmark/RFR Rate”) at the applicable Borrower’s election in each case plus a margin. Borrowings that are ABR Rate loans will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the base rate plus a margin that varies between 0.25% and 0.625% depending on the Borrowers’ combined ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA (the “consolidated leverage ratio”). Borrowings that are Term Benchmark/RFR Rate loans will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable rate plus a margin that varies between 1.25% and 1.625% depending on the Borrowers’ consolidated leverage ratio. Each loan may be prepaid at any time and from time to time without penalty other than customary breakage costs. No mandatory prepayments will be required other than when borrowings and letter of credit usage exceed availability; provided that, if Zulily, CBI, QVC Global or any other borrower (other than QVC) is removed, at the election of QVC, as a borrower thereunder, all of its loans must be repaid and its letters of credit are terminated or cash collateralized. Any amounts prepaid may be reborrowed. The facility matures on October 27, 2026. Payment of loans may be accelerated following certain customary events of default. In accordance with the accounting guidance for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements, QVC will record a liability for amounts it has borrowed under the senior secured credit facility plus any additional amount it expects to repay on behalf of Zulily or CBI. As of December 31, 2021, there was $151 million borrowed by Zulily on the senior secured credit facility, all of which QVC expected to repay on behalf of Zulily. QVC recorded a $151 million liability for Zulily's borrowings during the year ended December 31, 2021 as part of a common control transaction with Qurate Retail, which was treated as a return of capital in the consolidated statements of equity and included in the long-term portion of debt and finance lease obligations on the consolidated balance sheet. During the year-ended December 31, 2022, Qurate Retail made a capital contribution to Zulily to enable Zulily to repay its outstanding borrowings and as a result there were no borrowings by Zulily on the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2022. The removal of Zulily's borrowings was treated as a capital contribution of $151 million in the consolidated statements of equity. As of December 31, 2022, there was $18 million borrowed by CBI on the senior secured credit facility, none of which the Company expects to repay on behalf of CBI. There were no borrowings by CBI on the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2021. Availability under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at December 31, 2022 was $2.15 billion. The interest rate on the senior secured credit facility was 5.75% at December 31, 2022. The payment and performance of the Borrowers’ obligations under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of QVC’s, QVC Global’s, Zulily’s and CBI’s Material Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), if any, and certain other subsidiaries of any Borrower that such Borrower has chosen to provide guarantees. Further, the borrowings under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured, pari passu with QVC’s existing notes, by a pledge of all of QVC’s equity interests. The borrowings under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are also secured by a pledge of all of Zulily’s and CBI’s equity interests. The Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including certain restrictions on the Borrowers and each of their respective restricted subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) with respect to, among other things: incurring additional indebtedness; creating liens on property or assets; making certain loans or investments; selling or disposing of assets; paying certain dividends and other restricted payments; dissolving, consolidating or merging; entering into certain transactions with affiliates; entering into sale or leaseback transactions; restricting subsidiary distributions; and limiting the Borrowers’ consolidated leverage ratio. Five Year Maturities The annual principal maturities of QVC's debt, based on stated maturity dates, for each of the next five years are as follows: (in millions) Debt (1) 2023 $ 214 2024 600 2025 600 2026 1,057 2027 575 (1) Amounts exclude finance lease obligations (see Note 9) and the issue discounts on the 4.375%, 4.45%, 4.85%, 5.45% and 5.95% Senior Secured Notes. Other Debt Related Information QVC was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of December 31, 2022. There are no restrictions under the debt agreements on QVC's ability to pay dividends or make other restricted payments if QVC is not in default on its senior secured notes or the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and (i) with respect to QVC’s senior secured notes, QVC's consolidated leverage ratio would be no greater than 3.5 to 1.0 (“senior secured notes leverage basket”) and (ii) with respect to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the consolidated net leverage ratio for QVC, QVC Global, Zulily and CBI, would be no greater than 4.0 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2022, QVC’s consolidated leverage ratio (as calculated under QVC’s senior secured notes) was greater than 3.5 to 1.0 and as a result QVC is restricted in its ability to make dividends or other restricted payments under the senior secured notes. Although QVC will not be able to make unlimited dividends or other restricted payments under the senior secured notes leverage basket, QVC will continue to be permitted to make unlimited dividends under the senior secured notes to parent entities of QVC to service the principal and interest when due in respect of indebtedness of such parent entities (so long as there is no default under the indentures governing QVC’s senior secured notes) and permitted to make certain restricted payments to Qurate Retail under an intercompany tax sharing agreement (the “Tax Agreement”) in respect of certain tax obligations of QVC and its subsidiaries. The weighted average interest rate applicable to all of the outstanding debt (excluding finance leases) prior to amortization of bond discounts and related debt issuance costs was 5.2% as of December 31, 2022.

Lease of lessee disclosure	(9) Leases The Company has finance lease agreements with transponder and transmitter network suppliers for the right to transmit its signals. QVC also has leases for data processing equipment, facilities, office space and land that are classified as operating leases. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than 1 year to 20 years, some of which may include the option to extend or terminate the leases. The components of lease cost for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, were as follows: Year ended December 31, (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Finance lease cost Depreciation of leased assets $ 5 19 19 Interest on lease liabilities 3 8 8 Total finance lease cost 8 27 27 Operating lease cost (1) 73 42 39 Total lease cost $ 81 69 66 (1) Included within operating lease costs were short-term lease costs and variable lease costs, which were not material to the financial statements.

QVC will make annual payments over the modified lease term. Since the lease was modified and removed QVC’s ability to take ownership at the end of the lease term, the Company accounted for the modification similar to a sale and leaseback transaction and, as a result, QVC received net cash proceeds of $250 million and recognized a $240 million gain on the sale of the distribution center during the second quarter of 2022, calculated as the difference between the aggregate consideration received (including cash and forgiveness of the remaining financing obligation of $84 million) and the carrying value of the distribution center. The gain is included in gains on sale leaseback transactions in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company accounted for the modified lease as an operating lease and recorded a $37 million right-of-use asset and a $31 million operating lease liability, with the difference attributable to prepaid rent. In July 2022, QVC sold five owned and operated properties located in the U.S. to an independent third party and received net cash proceeds of $443 million. Concurrent with the sale, the Company entered into agreements to lease each of the properties back from the purchaser over an initial term of 20 years with the option to extend the terms of the property leases for up to four consecutive terms of five years. QVC recognized a $277 million gain related to the successful sale leaseback during the third quarter of 2022 calculated as the difference between the aggregate consideration received and the carrying value of the properties. The Company accounted for the leases as operating leases and recorded a $207 million right-of-use asset and a $205 million operating lease liability, with the difference attributable to initial direct costs. Bethlehem Operating Lease On October 5, 2018, QVC entered into a lease (“ECDC Lease”) for an East Coast distribution center. The 1.7 million square foot rental building is located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and has an initial term of 15 years. QVC obtained initial access to a portion of the ECDC Lease during March 2019 and obtained access to the remaining portion during September 2019. In total, QVC recorded a right of use asset of $141 million and an operating lease liability of $131 million relating to the ECDC Lease, with the difference attributable to prepaid rent. QVC is required to pay an initial base rent of $10 million per year, with payments that began in the third quarter of 2019 and increasing to $14 million per year, as well as all real estate taxes and other building operating costs. QVC also has the option to extend the term of the ECDC Lease for up to two consecutive terms of 5 years each and one final term of 4 years.

Other revenue consists primarily of income generated from our U.S. PLCC in which a large consumer financial services company provides revolving credit directly to QVC's customers for the sole purpose of purchasing merchandise or services with a PLCC. In return, the Company receives a portion of the net economics of the credit card program. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when obligations with the Company's customers are satisfied; generally this occurs at the time of shipment to its customers consistent with when control of the shipped product passes. The recognized revenue reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods, net of allowances for returns. The Company generally recognizes revenue related to the PLCC over time as the PLCC is used by QVC's customers. Sales, value add, use and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer obtains control of the goods as a fulfillment cost and not as a promised good or service. Accordingly, the Company accrues the related shipping costs and recognizes revenue upon delivery of the goods to the shipping carrier. In electing this accounting policy, all shipping and handling activities are treated as fulfillment costs. The Company generally extends payment terms with its customers of one year or less and does not consider the time value of money when recognizing revenue. Significant Judgments Our products are generally sold with a right of return and we may provide other credits or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. Returns and credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. The Company has determined that it is generally the principal in vendor arrangements as the Company can establish control over the goods prior to shipment. Accordingly, the Company records revenue for these arrangements on a gross basis. A summary of activity in the allowance for sales returns, recorded on a gross basis for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was as follows: (in millions) Balance Additions- Deductions Balance 2022 $ 242 1,685 (1,745) 182 2021 267 1,922 (1,947) 242 2020 238 1,976 (1,947) 267

Stock Options and Other Share-Based Payments	Stock-Based Compensation Certain QVC employees and officers may receive stock options ("Options") and restricted stock units ("RSUs") in Series A Qurate Retail common stock (“QRTEA”) in accordance with Qurate Retail's Incentive Plan (the "Qurate Incentive Plan"). In 2021, holders of QRTEA shares received a special cash dividend ("Special Cash Dividend") in the amount of $1.25 per common share. As a result, the outstanding Options of QRTEA were adjusted pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Qurate Incentive Plans under which the Options were granted. Adjustments to the exercise prices and the numbers of shares subject to the original awards were made to preserve the intrinsic values prior to each Special Cash Dividend. Outstanding RSUs received the Special Cash Dividend which was subject to the same vesting schedules as those applicable to the corresponding original QRTEA RSU. (a) Stock options A summary of the activity of the Qurate Incentive Plans with respect to the QRTEA Options granted to QVC employees and officers as of and during the year ended December 31, 2022 is presented below: Options Weighted Aggregate Weighted average remaining Outstanding as of January 1, 2022 24,934,063 $ 9.65 $ 31,372 3.3 Exercised (351,018) 2.27 Forfeited (6,455,091) 11.44 Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 18,127,954 9.16 — 2.8 Exercisable as of December 31, 2022 14,093,040 $ 10.14 — 2.2 Upon employee exercise of the Options, the exercise price is remitted to Qurate Retail in exchange for the shares.

The weighted average fair value at date of grant of a QRTEA Option granted during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $5.70 and $1.97, respectively. There were no options granted during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the fair value of each QRTEA Option was determined as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: 2021 2020 Expected volatility 57.0 % 46.8 % Expected term (years) 5.8 5.7 Risk free interest rate 1.0 % 0.7 % Expected dividend yield — — Expected volatility is based on historical and implied volatilities of QRTEA common stock over a period commensurate with the expected term of the options. The Company estimates the expected term of the Options based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. The volatility used in the calculation for the Options is based on the historical volatility of Qurate Retail's stocks and the implied volatility of publicly traded Qurate Retail Options. The Company uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject Options. The fair value of the Options is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $5 million, $9 million and $17 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to the Options. As of December 31, 2022, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Options was $7 million. Such amount will be recognized in the Company's consolidated statement of operations over a weighted average period of 1.8 years. (b) Restricted stock units A summary of the activity of the Qurate Incentive Plans with respect to the QRTEA RSUs granted to QVC employees and officers as of and during the year ended December 31, 2022 is presented below: Restricted shares Weighted average Outstanding as of January 1, 2022 8,097,464 $ 9.36 Granted 11,701,468 3.71 Vested (2,768,334) 9.88 Forfeited (1,608,676) 7.96 Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 15,421,922 5.13 During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $27 million, $32 million and $16 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to these awards.

Such amount will be recognized in the Company's consolidated statement of operations over a weighted average period of 2.1 years. Fair value of RSUs is calculated based on the market price on the day the shares are granted. The weighted average grant date fair value of the QRTEA RSUs granted to QVC employees and officers during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $3.71, $11.58, and $4.51, respectively. The aggregate fair value of all RSUs of common stock that vested during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $13 million, $38 million and $7 million, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company, through a wholly owned foreign subsidiary, recognized income related to the exchange and redemption of the outstanding MSI Exchangeables and the extinguishment of related hedges. The income is subject to tax under the U.S GILTI rules. The tax effect of this GILTI income including the federal tax benefit of related foreign tax credits, is treated by the Company as a period cost. In addition, the Company recorded a U.S. federal tax benefit for foreign derived intangible income deductions claimed on royalty income recognized by the Company in the U.S. during 2021. The tax effect of these items is included in Tax on foreign earnings, net of federal tax benefits in the above table. During December of 2020, the Company effected a corporate restructuring transaction whereby a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, which owns the Company's foreign business units, became a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary. The corporate restructuring changed the manner in which the income of the foreign business units is subjected to tax in the U.S. As a result of the corporate restructuring, income tax expense of $19 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020. The tax effects of temporary differences that gave rise to significant portions of the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are presented below: December 31, (in millions) 2022 2021 Deferred tax assets: Accounts receivable, principally due to the allowance for credit losses and related reserves for the uncollectible accounts $ 22 21 Inventories, principally due to obsolescence reserves and additional costs of inventories for tax purposes pursuant to the Tax Reform Act of 1986 31 32 Allowance for sales returns 16 30 Deferred revenue 80 99 Deferred compensation 10 10 Unrecognized federal and state tax benefits 16 15 Net operating loss and other carryforwards 113 116 Foreign tax credits carryforward 54 54 Lease obligations 90 63 Cumulative translation of foreign currencies 5 8 Accrued liabilities 15 10 Other 25 19 Subtotal 477 477 Valuation allowance (169) (171) Total deferred tax assets 308 306 Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation and amortization (751) (835) Lease assets (89) (57) Other receivable — (11) Total deferred tax liabilities (840) (903) Net deferred tax liability $ (532) (597) In the above table, valuation allowances exist due to the uncertainty of whether or not the benefit of certain U.S. federal and foreign tax credits and losses will ultimately be utilized for income tax purposes. The 2022 net deferred tax liability above includes deferred tax assets of $45 million relating to foreign jurisdictions which are included within other noncurrent assets in the consolidated balance sheet and deferred tax liabilities of $577 million in domestic jurisdictions which are included within deferred income taxes in the consolidated balance sheet. The 2021 net deferred tax liability above includes deferred tax assets of $36 million relating to foreign jurisdictions which are included within other noncurrent assets in the consolidated balance sheet and deferred tax liabilities of $633 million in domestic jurisdictions which are included within deferred income taxes in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company is party to the Tax Agreement with Qurate Retail. The Tax Agreement establishes the methodology for the calculation and payment of income taxes in connection with the consolidation of the Company with Qurate Retail for income tax purposes. Generally, the Tax Agreement provides that the Company will pay Qurate Retail an amount equal to the tax liability, if any, that it would have if it were to file as a consolidated group separate and apart from Qurate Retail, with exceptions for the treatment and timing of certain items, including but not limited to deferred intercompany transactions, credits, and net operating and capital losses. To the extent that the separate company tax expense is different from the payment terms of the Tax Agreement, the difference is recorded as either a dividend or capital contribution. These differences are related primarily to foreign tax credits recognized by QVC that are creditable under the Tax Agreement when and if utilized in Qurate Retail’s consolidated tax return. The difference recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022 was a dividend of $1 million primarily related to foreign tax credits recognized by QVC and not utilized in Qurate's consolidated tax return. The difference recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021 was a capital contribution of $73 million, primarily related to foreign tax credit carryovers being utilized in Qurate's consolidated tax return in excess of those recognized by QVC during the 2021 tax year. There were no material differences recorded during the year-ended December 31, 2020. The amounts of the tax-related payable balance due to Qurate Retail as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $23 million and $85 million, respectively, and are included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. A reconciliation of the 2021 and 2022 beginning and ending amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: (in millions) Balance at January 1, 2021 $ 67 Increases related to prior year tax positions 1 Decreases related to prior year tax positions (5) Decreases related to settlements with taxing authorities — Increases related to current year tax positions 10 Balance at December 31, 2021 73 Increases related to prior year tax positions 7 Decreases related to prior year tax positions (7) Decreases related to settlements with taxing authorities (4) Increases related to current year tax positions 7 Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 76 Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 are potential benefits of $60 million (net of a $16 million federal tax effect) and $58 million (net of a $15 million federal tax effect), respectively, that if recognized, would be reflected in income tax expense and affect the effective rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not have a material amount of interest or tax penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 or 2020. The Company has tax positions for which the amount of related unrecognized tax benefits could change during 2023. These consist of nonfederal transfer pricing and other nonfederal tax issues. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease within the next 12 months by up to $21 million. The Company participates in a consolidated federal return filing with Qurate Retail. As of December 31, 2022, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has completed its examination of Qurate Retail’s tax years through 2020. The Company's 2021 and 2022 tax years are being examined currently as part of the Qurate Retail consolidated return under the IRS's Compliance Assurance Process program. The Company files income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was under examination in Colorado, Florida, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York City, and the U.K.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and ContingenciesThe Company has contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Although it is reasonably possible the Company may incur losses upon conclusion of such matters, an estimate of any loss or range of loss cannot be made. In the opinion of management, it is expected that the amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.Network and information systems, including the Internet and telecommunication systems, third party delivery services and other technologies are critical to QVC's business activities. Substantially all of QVC's customer orders, fulfillment and delivery services are dependent upon the use of network and information systems, including the use of third party telecommunication and delivery service providers. If information systems including the Internet or telecommunication services are disrupted, or if the third party delivery services experience a disruption in their transportation delivery services, the Company could face a significant disruption in fulfilling QVC's customer orders and shipment of QVC's products. The Company has active disaster recovery programs in place to help mitigate risks associated with these critical business activities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value	Dec. 31, 2022
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair value disclosures	Financial Instruments and Fair Value MeasurementsFor assets and liabilities required to be reported or disclosed at fair value, U.S. GAAP provides a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs, other than quoted market prices included within Level 1, are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company measures the fair value of money market funds based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Money market funds are included as cash equivalents Level 1 fair value instruments in the table below. The 2067 Notes (ticker: QVCD) and the 2068 Notes (ticker: QVCC) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, which the Company considers to be an "active market," as defined by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, these Notes are measured based on quoted prices in an active market and included as Level 1 fair value instruments in the table below. The remainder of the Company's debt instruments and derivative instruments are considered Level 2 fair value instruments and measured based on quoted market prices that are not considered to be traded on "active markets." Accordingly, these financial instruments are reported in the below tables as Level 2 fair value instruments. The Company’s assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value were as follows: Fair value measurements at December 31, 2022 using (in millions) Total Quoted prices Significant Significant Current assets: Cash equivalents $ 64 64 — — Current liabilities: Debt (note 8) 213 — 213 — Foreign currency forward 10 — 10 — Long-term liabilities: Debt (note 8) 3,520 346 3,174 — Fair value measurements at December 31, 2021 using (in millions) Total Quoted prices Significant Significant Current assets: Cash equivalents $ 124 124 — — Current liabilities: Interest rate swap arrangements 1 — 1 — Long-term liabilities: Debt (note 8) 5,076 745 4,331 — Interest Rate Swap Arrangement In July 2019, the Company entered into a three-year interest swap arrangement with a notional amount of $125 million to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with interest payments related to its variable rate debt. The swap arrangement did not qualify as a cash flow hedge under U.S. GAAP. Changes in the fair value of the swap arrangement are reflected in (losses) gains on financial instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. The swap arrangement expired in July 2022 and was in a net liability position of $1 million as of December 31, 2021, which was included in accrued liabilities. Foreign Currency Forward Contract

Information about QVC's Operating Segments	Dec. 31, 2022
Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment reporting disclosure	Information about QVC's Operating Segments and Geographical Data The Company evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments based on financial measures such as net revenue, Adjusted OIBDA, gross margin, average sales price per unit, number of units shipped and revenue or sales per subscriber equivalent. For segment reporting purposes, the Company defines Adjusted OIBDA, as net revenue less cost of goods sold (excluding fire related costs, net of recoveries and Rocky Mount inventory losses, see note 19), operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding stock-based compensation and restructuring costs). The Company believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its segments by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each segment's performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking among the Company's businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes depreciation, amortization, impairment losses, gains on sale leaseback transactions, restructuring and fire related costs, net of recoveries, Rocky Mount inventory losses and stock-based compensation that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Company's Chief Executive Officer who has ultimate responsibility for enterprise decisions. QVC's CODM determines, in particular, resource allocation for, and monitors performance of, the consolidated enterprise, QxH, and QVC-International. The segment managers have responsibility for operating decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance within their respective segments. QVC's CODM relies on internal management reporting that analyzes enterprise results and segment results to the Adjusted OIBDA level (see below). For the year ended December 31, 2022, QVC has identified QxH and QVC-International as its two reportable segments. Both operating segments are retailers of a wide range of consumer products, which are marketed and sold primarily by merchandise-focused televised-shopping programs as well as via the Internet and mobile applications in certain markets. QVC allocates certain corporate costs for management reporting purposes from its QxH segment to the QVC-International segment. These management cost allocations are related to certain functions such as merchandising, commerce platforms, information technology, human resources, legal, finance, brand and communications, corporate development and administration that support all of QVC’s operations. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the costs allocated to QVC-International totaled $46 million, $37 million and $33 million, respectively.

Unusual or Infrequent Items, or Both, Disclosure	(19) Fire at Rocky Mount Fulfillment Center On December 18, 2021, QVC experienced a fire at its Rocky Mount, Inc. fulfillment center in North Carolina. Rocky Mount was the Company’s second-largest fulfillment center for QxH and the Company’s primary returns center for hard goods. The building was significantly damaged as a result of the fire and related smoke and will not reopen. QVC decided not to rebuild the facility and entered into an agreement to sell the property which closed in February 2023. The Company maintains property, general liability and business interruption insurance coverage. Based on the provisions of QVC’s insurance policies, the Company records estimated insurance recoveries for fire related costs for which recovery is deemed probable. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded $250 million of fire related costs and estimated insurance recoveries of $229 million for which recovery was deemed probable. As of December 31, 2021, the Company received $100 million of insurance proceeds and had an insurance receivable of $129 million which was recorded in accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $157 million of fire related costs, including $95 million for the write-down of inventory that will not be reimbursed by QVC’s insurance policies. The fire related costs also include $59 million for which recovery was deemed probable and $3 million of costs that will not be reimbursed by QVC’s insurance policies. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company received $280 million of insurance proceeds for inventory, fixed asset losses and other fire related costs and recorded a gain of $132 million in restructuring and fire related costs, net of (recoveries) in the consolidated statement of operations, representing the proceeds received in excess of cumulative losses recognized. The Company recorded an insurance receivable, net of advance proceeds received, for other fire related costs for which recovery was deemed probable of $40 million in accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, inventory write-downs related to Rocky Mount inventory of $95 million were included in Cost of goods sold. Due to the circumstances surrounding the write-downs of the inventory, these write-downs have been excluded from Adjusted OIBDA (as defined in note 16).

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events In November 2022, QVC-International entered into agreements to sell two properties located in Germany and the U.K. to an independent third party. Under the terms of the agreements, QVC received net cash proceeds of $102 million related to its German facility and $80 million related to its U.K. facility when the sale closed in January 2023. Concurrent with the sale, the Company entered into agreements to lease each of the properties back from the purchaser over an initial term of 20 years with the option to extend the terms of the property leases for up to four consecutive terms of five years. QVC expects to record a gain in the first quarter of 2023 related to the successful sale leaseback transaction. As of December 31, 2022, the related assets of $71 million were classified as held for sale and included in assets held for sale noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheet, as the proceeds from the sale were used to repay a portion of QVC's senior secured credit facility borrowings which were classified as noncurrent as of December 31, 2022. QVC classifies obligations as current when they are contractually required to be satisfied in the next twelve months. QVC declared and paid dividends to Qurate Retail in the amount of $171 million from January 1, 2023 to March 1, 2023.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Dec. 31, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Cash and cash equivalents policy	(a) Cash and cash equivalentsAll highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents were $64 million and $124 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values (Level 1).
Restricted cash policy	(b) Restricted cash Restricted cash at December 31, 2022 and 2021 primarily includes a cash deposit with a third party trustee that provides financial assurance that the Company will fulfill its obligations in relation to claims under its workers' compensation policy.
Receivables policy	(c) Accounts receivableAccounts receivable, net primarily includes amounts owed to the company from customers and from credit card clearing houses net of an allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is calculated as a percent of accounts receivable at the end of a reporting period, and is based on historical experience, with the change in such allowance being recorded as a provision for credit losses in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. A provision for noncustomer bad debt expense, related to amounts due from vendors for unsold and returned products, is calculated based on an estimate of the probable expected losses and is included in cost of goods sold. See note 3.
Inventory policy	(d) Inventories Inventories, consisting primarily of products held for sale, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the average cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. Assessments about the realizability of inventory require the Company to make judgments based on currently available information about the likely method of disposition including sales to individual customers, returns to product vendors, liquidations and the estimated recoverable values of each disposition category.
Property and equipment policy	(f) Property and equipment The costs of property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method beginning in the month of acquisition or in-service date. When assets are sold or retired, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in net income. The costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Interest capitalization policy	(g) Capitalized interest The Company capitalizes interest cost incurred on debt during the construction of major projects exceeding one year. Capitalized interest was not material to the consolidated financial statements for any periods presented.
Internal use software policy	(h) Internally developed software Internal software development costs are capitalized in accordance with guidance on accounting for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use, and are classified within other intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company amortizes computer software and internal software development costs over an estimated useful life of approximately three years using the straight-line method.
Goodwill Disclosure [Text Block]	The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment (note 16) for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows: (in millions) QxH QVC-International Total Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 5,112 922 6,034 Exchange rate fluctuations — (66) (66) Balance as of December 31, 2021 5,112 856 5,968 Impairment (2,420) — (2,420) Exchange rate fluctuations — (78) (78) Balance as of December 31, 2022 $ 2,692 778 3,470
Foreign currency transactions and translations policy	(j) Translation of foreign currencies Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date and the consolidated statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the applicable period. The resulting unrealized cumulative translation adjustments, net of applicable income taxes, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in equity.
Revenue recognition policy	(k) Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized at the time of shipment to customers. The Company's general policy is to allow customers the right to return merchandise. An allowance for returned merchandise is provided at the time revenue is recorded as a percentage of sales based on historical experience. Refer to note 10 for further explanation. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when obligations with the Company's customers are satisfied; generally this occurs at the time of shipment to its customers consistent with when control of the shipped product passes. The recognized revenue reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods, net of allowances for returns. The Company generally recognizes revenue related to the PLCC over time as the PLCC is used by QVC's customers. Sales, value add, use and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer obtains control of the goods as a fulfillment cost and not as a promised good or service. Accordingly, the Company accrues the related shipping costs and recognizes revenue upon delivery of the goods to the shipping carrier. In electing this accounting policy, all shipping and handling activities are treated as fulfillment costs. The Company generally extends payment terms with its customers of one year or less and does not consider the time value of money when recognizing revenue. Significant Judgments Our products are generally sold with a right of return and we may provide other credits or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. Returns and credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. The Company has determined that it is generally the principal in vendor arrangements as the Company can establish control over the goods prior to shipment. Accordingly, the Company records revenue for these arrangements on a gross basis. A summary of activity in the allowance for sales returns, recorded on a gross basis for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was as follows: (in millions) Balance Additions- Deductions Balance 2022 $ 242 1,685 (1,745) 182 2021 267 1,922 (1,947) 242 2020 238 1,976 (1,947) 267
Cost of sales policy	(l) Cost of goods sold Cost of goods sold primarily includes actual product cost, provision for obsolete inventory, buying allowances received from suppliers, shipping and handling costs and warehouse costs.
Advertising cost policy	(m) Advertising costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $298 million, $288 million and $208 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These costs were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Share-based compensation policy	(n) Stock-based compensation As described in note 11, the Company and Qurate Retail have granted certain stock-based awards to employees of the Company. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments (such as stock options and restricted stock units) based on the grant-date fair value of the award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the award). Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Impairment of long-lived assets policy	(o) Impairment of long-lived assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, internally developed software and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Impairment charges are recognized as an acceleration of depreciation expense or amortization expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Derivatives policy	(p) Derivatives The Company accounts for derivatives and hedging activities in accordance with standards issued by the FASB, which requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their respective fair values. Fair value is based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. For derivatives designated as hedges, changes in the fair value are either offset against the changes in fair value of the designated hedged item through earnings or recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.
Income tax policy	(q) Income taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using statutory tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of an enacted change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Consolidation policy	(r) Noncontrolling interest The Company reports the noncontrolling interest of QVC-Japan within equity in the consolidated balance sheets and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is presented in the consolidated statements of operations. (s) Common control transaction During the year-ended December 31, 2021, QVC determined it was necessary to record a liability for Zulily's outstanding borrowings on the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (see note 8). As QVC and Zulily are both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Qurate Retail this was recorded as an equity transaction with an entity under common control. QVC recorded a $151 million liability for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was treated as a return of capital in the consolidated statement of equity. During the year-ended December 31, 2022, Qurate Retail made a capital contribution to Zulily to enable Zulily to repay its outstanding borrowings and as a result there were no borrowings by Zulily on the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2022. The removal of Zulily's borrowings was treated as a capital contribution of $151 million in the consolidated statements of equity. On December 30, 2020, the Company and Liberty Interactive LLC ("LIC") completed an internal realignment of the Company's global finance structure that resulted in a common control transaction with Qurate Retail. As part of this realignment and upon entering into a payment agreement, QVC Global Corporate Holdings, LLC ("QVC Global"), a subsidiary of the Company, became the primary co- obligor on LIC’s 3.5% Senior Exchangeable Debentures Due 2031 (the “MSI Exchangeables”), which caused the MSI Exchangeables to be serviced directly by cash generated from the Company’s foreign operations. Concurrently, LIC issued a promissory note (“LIC Note”) to the Company with an initial face amount of $1.8 billion, a stated interest rate of 0.48% and a maturity of December 29, 2029. Interest on the LIC Note is paid annually. In addition, Qurate Retail transferred additional assets and liabilities as part of the transaction. The difference between the total assets received and the liabilities assumed was treated as a capital contribution from Qurate Retail as part of the common control transaction, which is summarized as follows (in millions): Note receivable $ 1,825 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 91 Current portion of debt (397) Accrued liabilities (5) Accumulated other comprehensive loss (16) Capital contribution from Qurate Retail $ 1,498 The assets and liabilities as part of this common control transaction did not result in a change to the reporting entity, therefore the accounting impacts of the common control transaction are recorded on a prospective basis. All MSI Exchangeables not surrendered for exchange were subsequently redeemed on December 13, 2021 (see note 8).
Equity method investments policy	(t) Investment in affiliate In 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture with CNR Media Group, a limited liability company owned by China National Radio ("CNR"). The Company owned a 49% interest in a CNR subsidiary, CNR Home Shopping Co., Ltd. ("CNRS") that was accounted for as an equity method investment as a component of other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets and equity in losses of investee in the consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2021, QVC sold its interest in CNRS which resulted in an immaterial loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 recorded in equity in losses of investee in the consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2020, as a result of an impairment review, the Company reduced its investment in CNRS by $29 million which was recorded in equity in losses of investee in the consolidated statement of operations.
Use of estimates policy	(u) Use of estimates in the preparation of consolidated financial statements The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates include, but are not limited to, sales returns, uncollectible receivables, inventory obsolescence, medical and other benefit related costs, depreciable lives of fixed assets, internally developed software, valuation of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes and stock-based compensation.
Lessee, Leases	(e) Leases Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the expected lease term. As for most leases the implicit rate is not readily determinable, the Company uses a discount rate in determining the present value of future payments based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate on a collateralized basis aligning with the term of the lease. Our lease agreements include both lease and non-lease components, which the Company accounts for as a single lease component. The Company’s leases have base rent periods and some with optional renewal periods. Leases with base rent periods of less than 12 months are not recorded on the balance sheet. For purposes of measurement of lease liabilities, the expected lease terms may include renewal options when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. Leases with an initial term greater than twelve months are classified as either finance or operating. Finance leases are generally those that we substantially use or pay for the entire asset over its estimated useful life and are recorded in property and equipment. All other leases are categorized as operating leases and recorded in operating lease right-of-use assets. We have entered into sale leaseback transactions. To determine whether the transaction should be accounted for as a sale, we evaluate whether control of the asset has transferred to a third party. If the transfer of the asset is determined to be a sale, we recognize the transaction price for the sale based on cash proceeds received, derecognize the carrying amount of the asset sold and recognize a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations for any difference between the carrying value of the asset and the transaction price. The leaseback is accounted for according to our lease policy discussed above. If the transfer of the asset is not determined to be a sale, we account for the transaction as a financing arrangement.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy	(i) Goodwill and Intangible Assets Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment upon certain triggering events. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives ("indefinite-lived intangible assets") are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Our annual impairment assessment of our indefinite-lived intangible assets is performed during the fourth quarter of each year and more frequently if events and circumstances indicated that the asset might be impaired. QVC utilizes a qualitative assessment for determining whether step one of the goodwill impairment analysis is necessary. The accounting guidance permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform step one of the goodwill impairment test. In evaluating goodwill on a qualitative basis, QVC reviews the business performance of each reporting unit and evaluates other relevant factors as identified in the relevant accounting guidance to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indicated impairment exists for any of its reporting units. A reporting unit is defined in accounting guidance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP") as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (also known as a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. The Company considers QVC's reporting units to align with its operating segments. Refer to note 16 for additional information. The Company considers whether there were any negative macroeconomic conditions, industry specific conditions, market changes, increased competition, increased costs in doing business, management challenges and the legal environments, and how these factors might impact country specific performance in future periods. If a step one test is considered necessary based on the qualitative factors, the Company compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. Developing estimates of fair value requires significant judgments, including making assumptions about appropriate discount rates, perpetual growth rates, relevant comparable market multiples, public trading prices and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The cash flows employed in the Company's valuation analysis are based on management's best estimates considering current marketplace factors and risks as well as assumptions of growth rates in future years. There is no assurance that actual results in the future will approximate these forecasts. Any excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over the fair value is recorded as an impairment charge. QVC also utilizes a qualitative assessment to evaluate the risk of impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets. The accounting guidance permits entities to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If deemed necessary based on qualitative factors, a quantitative test is used to determine if the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value. An impairment loss would be recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeded the asset's fair value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350. Refer to note 6 for additional information.

Receivables [Abstract]
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable The Company offers an installment payment option in all of our markets other than Japan (known as Easy-Pay for the QVC brand in the U.S. and the U.K.; Q-Pay in Germany and Italy and FlexPay for the HSN brand). The installment payment option permits customers to pay for items in two or more installments. When the installment payment option is offered by QVC and elected by the customer, the first installment is typically billed to the customer's credit card and a receivable is recorded for the outstanding amount upon shipment. Generally, the customer's account is subsequently billed in additional monthly installments until the total purchase price of the products has been billed by the Company. In 2014, the Company amended and restated its agreement with a large consumer financial services company (the "Bank") pursuant to which the Bank provides revolving credit directly to QVC's customers for the sole purpose of purchasing merchandise or services with a private label credit card ("PLCC") company in the U.S. The agreement with the Bank was amended and restated in March 2017 and December 2018 related to its QVC brand. In December 2018, the Company entered into a separate agreement with the Bank for its HSN brand. The Company receives a portion of the net economics of the credit card program. The Company cannot predict the extent to which customers will use the PLCC, nor the extent that they will make payments on their outstanding balances. PLCC income of $142 million, $144 million and $140 million was recorded in net revenue during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company also accepts major credit cards for its sales. Accounts receivable from major credit cards represents amounts owed to QVC from the credit card clearing houses for amounts billed but not yet collected.

Schedule of television distribution rights	Television Distribution Rights, Net Television distribution rights consisted of the following: December 31, (in millions) 2022 2021 Television distribution rights $ 664 818 Less accumulated amortization (592) (673) Television distribution rights, net $ 72 145 The Company enters into affiliation agreements with television providers for carriage of the Company's shopping service, as well as for certain channel placement. If these television providers were to change the number of subscribers to the agreement through acquisition, it may change the amount paid by the Company. The Company's ability to continue to sell products to its customers is dependent on its ability to maintain and renew these affiliation agreements. In some cases, renewals are not agreed upon prior to the expiration of a given agreement while the programming continues to be carried by the relevant distributor without an effective agreement in place. The Company does not have distribution agreements with some of the cable operators that carry its programming. Television distribution rights are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the individual agreements. The remaining weighted average lives of the television distribution rights was approximately 1.7 years as of December 31, 2022. Amortization expense for television distribution rights was $116 million, $107 million and $133 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, related amortization expense for each of the next five years ending December 31 was as follows (in millions): 2023 $ 55 2024 16 2025 1 2026 — 2027 — In return for carrying QVC's signals, most programming distributors in the U.S. receive an allocated portion, based upon market share, of up to 5% of the net sales of merchandise sold via the television programs and from certain internet sales to customers located in the programming distributors' service areas. In some cases, we also pay programming distributors additional compensation in the form of incentives in exchange for their commitments to maintain specific channel positioning benchmarks. In Germany, Japan, the U.K., and Italy, programming distributors predominately receive an agreed-upon annual fee, a monthly fee per subscriber regardless of the net sales, a variable percentage of net sales or some combination of the above arrangements. The Company recorded expense related to these commissions of $358 million, $375 million, and $378 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which is included as part of operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
