eBay Fee Calculator

eBay charges sellers a final value fee based on a percentage of the total order amount — sale price, plus shipping charged to the buyer, plus any sales tax collected from the buyer. An additional per-order fee applies depending on the order total ($0.30 at or under $10, $0.40 above). This calculator applies the category-specific flat rates from our verified US fee table, rounds each fee line to the cent, and subtracts fees plus your entered costs (item, actual postage, packaging) from seller revenue to show an estimated contribution. All math runs locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.

Scope notes (what this tool does not model):

• The fee base here is item price + shipping charged + buyer sales tax. Other charges eBay may include (e.g. international fees) are out of scope.
• Most categories are modeled at a single flat percentage. eBay’s published schedule applies a lower rate on the portion of a sale above a high-dollar threshold; that tier is not modeled here, so fees on very large single-item sales may be overstated.
• Store subscription pricing, promoted-listing fees, returns, and specialty category tables (beyond the options in the category menu) are out of scope. The Sneakers rate applies at a $150 or more order total — the tool says so instead of mis-rating lower totals.
• Break-even prices are verified against the same fee schedule at the candidate price, so a recommendation never lands in a different fee band than the price it recommends.

No — it is a contribution estimate: seller revenue minus eBay fees and the costs you enter. Promoted listings/ad fees, returns, international fees, Store discounts, and any cost you have not entered are still owed before take-home profit. Treat it as a planning number, not a payout statement.

Tax is added to the fee base (eBay charges its final value fee on the tax too), but it is not counted as your revenue and is not subtracted from you a second time — you remit it to the tax authority. Enter the tax collected so the fee estimate matches the checkout total.

Rates come from HustleNumbers’ verified US marketplace fee table, sourced from eBay’s official seller fee documentation, with a verification date shown on the results panel.
