How to work out your eBay fees by hand

Add up the total sale: item price, plus the shipping the buyer pays, plus the sales tax eBay collects from the buyer.
Multiply the total by your category’s final value fee, for example 13.6% for most categories with no store. Above $7,500 the part over pays 2.35%.
Add the per-order fee: $0.30 if the order is $10 or less, $0.40 if it is more.
Add 1.65% of the total if the buyer is outside the US, and your Promoted Listings ad rate if the sale came from an ad.
Take the fees from the item price plus shipping (the tax goes to the state) to get your payout, then subtract your item cost and postage for profit.

Ways sellers lower their eBay fees

Price in the shipping cost and offer free shipping only when it helps you sell; the fee is charged on shipping either way.
Compare a Basic Store (12.7% in most categories) with no store once you sell enough each month to cover the subscription.
Keep your seller level above Below Standard, which adds 6% to every final value fee.
Set a promoted ad rate you can afford: the ad fee is a share of the whole sale, tax included.

eBay takes a share of every sale, and the share depends on your category, your store level, the shipping and even the buyer’s sales tax. This free eBay fee calculator works out every fee on a sale, what eBay pays out to you, your profit and margin, and the lowest price that still breaks even.

How eBay fees are calculated

Most of what you pay is the final value fee: a percentage of the total amount of the sale, which is the item price plus the shipping the buyer pays plus sales tax. On top of that comes a per-order fee of $0.30 for orders of $10 or less and $0.40 above $10. Sales to buyers outside the US add an international fee of 1.65%, and a Promoted Listings ad adds your ad rate on the same total.

eBay fees by category

Most categories pay 13.6% up to $7,500 per item and 2.35% on the part above. Books, movies and music pay 15.3%. Trading cards, collectible card games, comics and coins pay 13.25%. Guitars and basses pay 6.7%. Athletic shoes pay 8% with no per-order fee at $150 and up. Jewelry pays 15% on sales up to $5,000 and handbags 15% up to $2,000, with 9% on sales above those amounts, and heavy equipment pays 3% up to $15,000.

eBay Store fees vs no store

With a Basic, Premium, Anchor or Enterprise Store, most categories drop to 12.7% up to $2,500 per item, then 2.35%. Coins drop to 9% up to $4,000, and trading cards to 12.35%. A Starter Store pays the same rates as no store. Switch the store setting in the calculator to see the saving on your own sale.

Profit, margin and break-even price

Your payout is the item price plus shipping, minus all eBay fees; the sales tax goes to the state. Take off what the item cost you and the postage you paid to get profit. The break-even price is the lowest item price where profit reaches zero, and the target price box shows the price you need for the margin you want.

FAQ

eBay Fee Calculator: questions sellers ask

How much does eBay take from a sale?

In most categories with no eBay Store, eBay takes 13.6% of the total sale (item, shipping and sales tax) up to $7,500, plus a $0.40 per-order fee ($0.30 on orders of $10 or less). On a $50 item with $8 shipping and 7% tax that is $8.84, about 15% of the price and shipping.

What is the eBay final value fee?

It is the percentage eBay charges when an item sells. It is worked out on the total amount of the sale, including shipping and sales tax, and the rate depends on the category and whether you have a Basic or higher eBay Store.

Does an eBay Store lower my fees?

A Basic Store or higher lowers the rate in most categories from 13.6% to 12.7% (up to $2,500 per item), and in some categories by more. Starter Store sellers pay the same rates as sellers with no store. Weigh the saving against the monthly subscription.

Are the fees different for sneakers, trading cards or watches?

Yes. Athletic shoes sold for $150 or more pay 8% and no per-order fee. Trading cards and comics pay 13.25%, books and media 15.3%, guitars 6.7%, and watches pay 15% on the first $1,000 and less above it. Pick the category in the calculator.

Is this calculator for eBay US only?

Yes. It uses the eBay.com rates for US sellers. eBay UK, Canada, Australia and Germany have their own fee tables.

Is Z Product AI really free?

Yes. Every tool and assistant on Z Product AI is free to use, with no sign-up and no credit card. Very heavy use is paced with short waits so the site stays free for everyone.

Does eBay charge fees on sales tax?

Yes. eBay’s final value fee is charged on the total amount of the sale, which includes the sales tax the buyer pays. You do not keep the tax, but the fee on it comes out of your payout.

Does eBay charge fees on shipping?

Yes. The shipping you charge the buyer is part of the total sale, so the final value fee applies to it. If you offer free shipping, there is no shipping in the total to charge on.
