How to use the eBay fee calculator
How eBay fees are calculated
eBay charges its final value fee on the total amount of the sale: the item price, plus the shipping the buyer pays, plus the sales tax eBay collects. A fixed per-order fee is added to every order. Everything else depends on how you listed the item. The calculator above runs these exact steps.
Three things change the final value fee only, never the per-order fee: an international buyer adds 1.65% of the total sale, a Below Standard seller rating adds 6%, and Top Rated Plus takes 10% off the fee. In most categories the rate drops to 2.35% on the part of the sale above $7,500 (above $2,500 with a store).

eBay profit calculator: see the profit before you list
This page is also an eBay profit calculator. Enter what you paid for the item and what shipping will cost you, and it shows the profit and margin that remain after every eBay fee, not just the fee total. It works in three directions:
Profit from a price
Switch to entering your own selling price, type the price you plan to charge, and read the net profit, the margin and the full fee breakdown on the right.
Price from a profit
Stay in the recommended price mode, enter the profit you want in dollars or as a margin percentage, and the calculator finds the selling price that leaves exactly that amount after fees.
Break-even price
The break-even line is the lowest price that covers the item cost, your shipping and all eBay fees. Anything below it is a loss, however good the sale looks.
Profit margin here is net profit divided by the sale total. Promoted Listings come straight out of it: a 5% ad rate on an item with a 20% margin leaves 15%. If your margin is thin, run the numbers with and without ads, and with the store rate for your category, before you list.

FAQ
eBay charges a final value fee when your item sells: a percentage of the total amount of the sale (item price, shipping charged to the buyer and sales tax) plus a fixed per-order fee. The percentage depends on the category and on whether you have an eBay Store. Insertion fees and optional listing upgrades are charged when you list, and Promoted Listings are charged when a promoted item sells.
On eBay.com most categories pay a final value fee of 13.6% of the total amount of the sale up to $7,500 (2.35% above that) plus a per-order fee of $0.30 for orders up to $10 and $0.40 above $10; a Basic Store or higher pays 12.7%. On eBay.co.uk business sellers pay 12.9% in most categories plus a 0.35% regulatory operating fee and the same 30p / 40p per-order fee, while UK private sellers pay no selling fees. Categories such as media, guitars, trainers, watches and electronics have their own rates: pick the category in the calculator to see them.
The fee is charged on the whole amount the buyer pays, including shipping and sales tax, so a listing with paid shipping costs more in fees than the item price suggests. You can lower fees with an eBay Store subscription (lower rates in most categories and more free listings), by qualifying for Top Rated Plus (10% off the final value fee) and by staying within your monthly free listings so you pay no insertion fees.
No. Since eBay moved all sellers to managed payments, payment processing is included in the final value fee. There is no PayPal fee and no separate payment fee; the fixed part is the per-order fee ($0.30 / $0.40 on eBay.com, 30p / 40p on eBay.co.uk). Buyers registered in another country add an international fee on the total amount of the sale: 1.65% on eBay.com, and 1.05% to 2% on eBay.co.uk depending on the buyer's region.
It depends on your volume. On eBay.com a seller without a store gets 250 free listings a month and pays 13.6% in most categories; a Basic Store gives more free listings and 12.7% in most categories, with bigger discounts in electronics, cameras, computers and other categories. On eBay.co.uk a Shop mainly buys free listings and a lower listing fee once they run out. Run your typical sale through the calculator with and without a store to see what the lower rate saves you each month, and compare that with the subscription price.
On eBay.com, in most categories and without a store, a $100 sale with free shipping and no sales tax costs $14.00 in fees: the 13.6% final value fee ($13.60) plus the $0.40 per-order fee. If the buyer also pays $10 shipping and $8.80 sales tax, the fee is charged on $118.80 and comes to $16.56. With a Basic Store or higher, the same $100 sale costs $13.10 (12.7% + $0.40). Enter your own numbers in the calculator to include your category, store level and Promoted Listings.
Not on eBay.com: US buyers pay the item price, shipping and sales tax. eBay's help pages list a Buyer Protection fee only for some other eBay sites, such as the UK, Australia, Italy and France. On eBay.co.uk the buyer pays it on items from UK private sellers: £0.10 per item plus 7% of the price up to £20, 4% from £20 to £300 and 2% from £300 to £4,000. The buyer pays this fee to eBay, and it is already included in the price the buyer sees.
Not for eBay fees. eBay moved all sellers to managed payments, so an eBay sale has no PayPal fee: payment processing is part of the final value fee and the per-order fee, and this calculator already includes both.

More questions about eBay fees
Does eBay charge a fee on shipping?
Yes. The final value fee is charged on the total amount of the sale, and that total includes the shipping the buyer pays. Charging $5 for shipping on eBay.com costs you 13.6% of that $5. Free shipping avoids the fee on shipping, but the label then comes out of your profit, which is why the calculator asks for both numbers.
Are auction fees different from fixed-price fees?
The final value fee and the per-order fee are the same. An auction uses the winning bid instead of a fixed price, and its insertion fee counts against the same monthly free listings. A reserve price adds a separate fee that eBay charges whether or not the item sells. This calculator prices fixed-price listings; for an auction, enter the price you expect the bidding to reach.
How much do Promoted Listings cost on eBay?
You choose the ad rate as a percentage of the total sale, and you pay it only when a buyer clicks your ad and then buys the item. Impressions are free. Enter your rate in the Promoted Listings field and the calculator adds it to the fee lines and takes it off the profit.
Does eBay refund fees when I refund a buyer?
When you refund the buyer in full, eBay credits the final value fee back to you. The per-order fee is not refunded, and neither are insertion fees or listing upgrades, which you paid when you listed.
What is the eBay international fee?
When the buyer's registered address is outside the United States, eBay adds an international fee of 1.65% of the total amount of the sale on top of the final value fee. Turn on the international buyer option in the calculator to include it.
Does this calculator work for eBay Motors?
It covers Parts & Accessories, which have their own final value fee rates and are in the category list. Vehicle listings work differently: eBay charges a flat listing package and a flat fee when the vehicle sells, not a percentage, so vehicles are not in this calculator.
How can I pay less in eBay fees?
Use your free monthly listings before paying insertion fees, keep listing upgrades off unless they clearly sell more, and check whether your category has a lower store rate: a Basic Store cuts most categories from 13.6% to 12.7%, and computers from 13.6% to 9.35%. Keep your seller rating above standard to avoid the 6% surcharge, and aim for Top Rated Plus for the 10% discount. Run your typical sale through the calculator with and without a store to see what you would save each month.
