eBay fees (editable)

These are example rates, not live figures. eBay changes its fees and they vary by category, country and account, so check your own fee page and edit any value.

%

Varies by category. eBay may apply it to the total the buyer pays, including shipping and sales tax.

$

A smaller amount often applies to low-value orders. Check your fee page.

%

Only if the sale came through a promoted listing.

Enter a selling price to see your profit. Costs and fees left blank count as 0.

How to use it

  1. Enter the sale

    Type the item price, the shipping you charge, your item cost, the postage you pay and any packaging or other cost.

  2. Set the fee rates

    Edit the final value fee percentage and the fixed per-order fee to match your category and account. Add a promoted listings rate if you used one.

  3. Read the result

    Check profit, margin and return, then adjust the price to see the effect.

Example: a $40 item with $8 shipping

The buyer pays 48.00. A 13.6% final value fee is 6.53 and a 0.40 per-order fee brings fees to 6.93. Item cost 15.00, postage 8.00 and other 1.00 are 24.00 of costs, so profit is 17.07, a 35.6% margin.

Limits and limitations

  • eBay changes its fees from time to time, and what you pay depends on your category, country, account type and sales history. The rates pre-filled in this tool are examples to show how the maths works. Always check eBay's own fee page and edit the fields to match.
  • eBay may charge the final value fee on the total including sales tax, which this tool does not know. Enter a slightly higher rate if you want to allow for it.
  • Category-specific rates, store subscription discounts, international fees and fees for returns or insertion are not modelled.
  • The result is an estimate for planning, not accounting, tax or legal advice. Sales tax, VAT, income tax, currency conversion and returns are not included unless you enter them as a cost.
