How do I use the eBay Fee Calculator?

Enter your sale price, quantity, and item category, then add shipping costs and seller level if applicable. The calculator shows insertion fees (if you opt in), final value fees, the per-order fee, your payout, and net profit.

What percentage does eBay take?

For most US categories, eBay takes 13.6% of the total sale amount (item + buyer-paid shipping + sales tax) up to $7,500, then 2.35% on the amount above that, plus a per-order fee of $0.30 (orders $10 or less) or $0.40 (over $10). Insertion fees are $0.35 after your monthly free listings. Rates vary by category. Payment processing is included.

What is the difference between listing fees and final value fees?

An insertion (listing) fee is charged when you create a listing, usually after you use your 250 free listings that month. A final value fee is charged when the item sells, as a percentage of the total sale plus a small per-order fee. This page estimates both; there is no separate eBay listing fee calculator URL.

What is the Below Standard seller fee?

Below Standard sellers typically pay an additional 6% of the total amount of the sale on top of the category final value fee. Top Rated and Above Standard sellers pay the standard category rate. Confirm the current extra on eBay’s selling fees page.

eBay Fees Explained

eBay can charge an insertion fee when you list, then a final value fee when the item sells. Final value fee is calculated on the total amount of the sale — item price, shipping charged to the buyer, and sales tax. Most US categories also add a small per-order fee. Payment processing is included in the final value fee.

How this calculator works

Inputs: sale price, quantity, cost of goods, category, optional buyer-paid shipping, your shipping cost, international sale, seller level, sales tax rate, and whether to charge an insertion fee. Formula for most categories: FVF = 13.6% of the total sale up to $7,500, plus 2.35% of the amount above $7,500; then add $0.30 per order if the total is $10 or less, or $0.40 if it is over $10. Insertion is $0.35 only if you check that option. This is an unofficial US estimate. Store discounts, Promoted Listings, Offsite Ads, and some categories are not fully modeled. Confirm on eBay before you list.
