eBay Fee Calculator

eBay charges a final value fee of 13.6 percent on the order total, item price plus shipping, for most categories, plus a $0.30 per-order fee. Sellers who only remember the headline percentage routinely underprice by a dollar or two per sale, which adds up fast across hundreds of orders.

Enter your numbers to see the fee breakdown, net profit and margin. The calculator applies the final value fee to the order total including shipping, because eBay does too, a detail that surprises sellers who set shipping as an afterthought. The first 250 listings each month carry no insertion fee, so casual sellers mostly need to watch the final value fee.

A few levers move the math in your favor. Offering free shipping and baking it into the price can change the fee outcome versus charging shipping separately, so model both. Promoted listings cost extra but can be worth it in crowded categories; test them on a few listings before rolling out. And eBay store subscriptions reduce final value fees, which pays for itself at surprisingly low volume.

This is an estimate for standard US sales. Insertion fees beyond the free allowance, promoted listing fees and store subscription effects are not included.
