eBay.ca fees for Canadian sellers: US buyers and big-ticket sales

A lot of Canadian listings end up in a parcel heading south. Before you set one price for buyers on both sides of the border, it helps to know what eBay.ca adds for a US buyer and what happens to the rate once a sale gets large. The fee table above is current as of 7 September 2026.

What a US buyer adds to the bill

eBay.ca sorts buyers into three groups. A buyer in Canada adds nothing. A buyer in the US adds an international fee of 0.4% of the sale. A buyer anywhere else adds 1%.

On everyday prices the US fee is small. A C$50 sale to a US buyer adds C$0.20, because C$50 × 0.4% = C$0.20. The same item sold to a buyer outside Canada and the US adds C$0.50, because C$50 × 1% = C$0.50. The fee grows with the price and has no tiers, so on a C$9,000 sale the US fee is C$36.00.

How the rate drops at C$7,500 and C$2,500

In most eBay.ca categories the final value fee comes in two parts. Without a store, you pay 13.6% on the first C$7,500 of the sale and 2.35% on anything above it. With a Basic, Premium or Anchor store, the main rate in most categories is 12.7%, and it covers only the first C$2,500. The 2.35% rate starts there.

The split is marginal. Crossing the line does not reprice the whole sale. Only the part above the threshold gets the lower rate. Take a C$10,000 sale in most categories without a store: 13.6% × C$7,500 = C$1,020.00, and 2.35% × C$2,500 = C$58.75. The final value fee is C$1,078.75, which is about 10.8% of the sale rather than 13.6%.

Not every category uses the same lines. For store sellers, Coins & Paper Money switches at C$4,000, and the four eBay Motors categories in the table switch at C$1,000. Heavy Equipment, Printing Presses and Food Trucks switch at C$15,000 for both seller types. NFTs pay a flat 5% with no tiers at all.

Worked example: a C$9,000 camera kit sold to a US buyer

Say you sell a medium-format camera kit in Cameras & Photo for C$9,000 with free shipping, and the buyer lives in the US. Here is what each seller type pays.

Fee	No store	Basic, Premium or Anchor store
Final value fee, main tier	13.6% × C$7,500 = C$1,020.00	9.35% × C$2,500 = C$233.75
Final value fee, above the tier	2.35% × C$1,500 = C$35.25	2.35% × C$6,500 = C$152.75
Per-order fee	C$0.40	C$0.40
US international fee	0.4% × C$9,000 = C$36.00	0.4% × C$9,000 = C$36.00
Total eBay fees	C$1,091.65	C$422.90

The store version costs C$668.75 less on this one sale, since C$1,091.65 minus C$422.90 is C$668.75. Most of the gap comes from the lower store threshold, which moves C$5,000 more of the sale onto the 2.35% rate. The calculator does not include the store subscription, so weigh that cost against the saving yourself.

Two categories that charge the whole amount at one rate

Athletic Shoes and Bullion have no split. The total decides the rate, and that rate covers the entire sale.

For Athletic Shoes without a store, a sale below C$150 pays 13.6% plus the per-order fee. At C$150 or more the rate is 8% and the per-order fee disappears. A pair at C$149 costs 13.6% × C$149 = C$20.26, plus C$0.40, so C$20.66 in total. A pair at C$150 costs C$12.00, because C$150 × 8% = C$12.00. One dollar more on the price means C$8.66 less in fees. Store sellers get the same jump, from 12.7% to 7%.

Bullion follows the same logic with its own bands, shown in the table above.

The fixed charge on every order

Each eBay.ca order also carries a per-order fee: C$0.30 when the order is C$10 or less, and C$0.40 when it is more. On a C$5 keychain it is 6% of the sale before any percentage fee, since C$0.30 divided by C$5 is 6%.

Running your own numbers

Enter the sale price, the shipping you charge, your item cost, your seller type and the category. The calculator returns the final value fee, the per-order fee, the international fee where it applies, your net profit and your break-even price. Its international buyer option uses the 1% rate for every buyer outside Canada, so for a US buyer the real fee is 0.6% of the sale lower than the figure shown. To work backwards, switch to the second mode, enter a target profit or margin, and it tells you the price to list at. It is free and needs no account. It does not include listing fees, store subscriptions, promoted listings or payment processing.

eBay.ca fee questions

Is selling to a US buyer much more expensive than selling inside Canada?

Only by 0.4% of the sale. On a C$200 order that is C$0.80. A buyer outside Canada and the US costs 1%, so the same order would add C$2.00.

Does a C$12,000 sale pay 2.35% on the whole amount?

No. In most categories the lower rate covers only the part above C$7,500, or above C$2,500 with a store. The first part always pays the higher rate. Athletic Shoes and Bullion are the exceptions.

Why did my sneaker fees go down when I raised the price?

At C$150, Athletic Shoes move the whole sale to a lower rate and drop the per-order fee. A price just under C$150 can cost more in fees than a price of exactly C$150.

Does the calculator account for my store subscription?

No. The store seller type gives you store rates only. Compare the fee saving across your usual sales with what the store costs you.
