eBay Fee Calculator

eBay's standard final value fee is 13.25% of the total sale amount (including shipping) plus $0.30 per order for most categories. Some categories like musical instruments and business equipment have lower rates around 6.35%.

Yes, eBay's final value fee is calculated on the total amount paid by the buyer, which includes the item price plus any shipping charges you set. This is why many sellers build shipping costs into the item price and offer free shipping.

Without a store subscription, you get 250 free listings per month. eBay Store subscribers get significantly more: Starter stores get 250, Basic stores get 1,000, Premium stores get 10,000, and Anchor stores get 25,000 free listings monthly.

eBay now uses Managed Payments, which replaced PayPal as the payment processor. The final value fee already includes payment processing, so there's no separate PayPal fee for eBay sales. Our calculator accounts for the current Managed Payments structure.

Musical instruments, heavy equipment, and commercial vehicles have some of the lowest fees at around 6.35%. Books and media are also lower at around 14.6%. Most other categories fall under the standard 13.25% final value fee.

Promoted Listings is an optional advertising fee you can add to boost visibility. You choose an ad rate (typically 2-20%) that's only charged if the buyer clicks your promoted listing and purchases within 30 days. This is in addition to the standard final value fee.

No, you don't pay final value fees on unpaid orders. If a buyer doesn't complete payment, you can open an unpaid item case after the payment due date. Once the case closes, any fees for that transaction are credited back to your account.

Enter your purchase price, selling price, and shipping cost. The calculator applies eBay's current fee structure (13.25% + $0.30) to show your exact fees and net profit. You can also compare results across multiple platforms to find the best place to sell.
