eBay Fee Calculator

Most categories pay a 13.6% final value fee on the total the buyer paid (item price, shipping you charged, and sales tax), up to $7,500 per item, plus a $0.30 or $0.40 per-order fee. Above $7,500, the rate on the remaining amount drops to 2.35%. Some categories (handbags, jewelry, books, coins, guitars) have their own rate, pick your category above and the calculator applies it.

Two charges on every sale: the final value fee (a percentage of what the buyer paid, including shipping and tax) and a small fixed per-order fee. There is no listing fee for most sellers on a standard number of listings.

For a typical $120 sale in most categories with $8 shipping, eBay takes about $17.41 in final value fee plus a $0.40 per-order fee, roughly 14% of what the buyer paid. Enter your own numbers above for an exact figure.

eBay's fee covers payment processing, buyer and seller protection, and the marketplace itself. It replaced the separate PayPal processing fee sellers used to pay on top of eBay's own cut. Compared to running your own store plus a payment processor, it is a bundled rate rather than a uniquely expensive one, but it is genuinely higher than platforms like Mercari or Poshmark on mid-value items.

The final value fee (a percentage of the total sale) and the per-order fee (a flat $0.30 or $0.40). Optional extras, a store subscription, promoted listings, or international fees, are separate and not included in this calculator.

See "How much are eBay fees?" above, seller fees and eBay fees mean the same thing here: the final value fee plus the per-order fee.

With no shipping charged, most categories: 13.6% of $100 = $13.60, plus a $0.40 per-order fee (orders over $10), for $14.00 total, a payout of $86.00.

13.6% for most categories, on the total the buyer paid. Books/movies/music is 15.3%; coins is 13.25%; handbags and jewelry step down to 9% once the sale clears $2,000 and $5,000; bullion steps down to 7% above $7,500. Every category rate is in the calculator above.

Yes. The final value fee is assessed on the item price plus whatever you charged the buyer for shipping, not on the item price alone. Pricing shipping at $0 and folding the cost into the item price does not avoid this; it just moves the same dollars into a different line.

Yes, on the total sale amount that includes tax the buyer paid, even though eBay collects and remits that tax to the state, not you. It is the fee behavior sellers find most counterintuitive, and it's modeled correctly in the calculator's sales-tax field.

eBay's main seller fee: a percentage of the total sale (item + shipping + tax), taken automatically from your payout. The rate depends on your category and, for most categories, drops on the portion of a sale above $7,500.

A flat $0.30 on orders of $10.00 or less, and $0.40 on anything above that, charged once per order regardless of how many items it contains.

Store subscribers get a discount on final value fees in many categories and often a batch of fee-free (or reduced-insertion-fee) listings, plus lower per-order fees in some tiers. This calculator models the standard, no-store rate, if you subscribe to a store tier, treat this as an upper bound on what you'll actually pay.

Switch the calculator to "What you want to keep" and enter the payout you need. It solves for the sale price that leaves that amount after eBay's fees, including the shipping and sales tax you enter.
