eBay Fee Calculator

For most categories it's 13.6% of the total sale amount up to $7,500 (2.35% on any portion over that), plus a small per-order fee -- $0.30 for orders of $10 or less, $0.40 above that. On a $100.00 sale: final value fee $13.60 + per-order fee $0.40 = $14.00 total, verified against eBay's own US seller-fees page (fees as of 2026-09-26; eBay can change these, so check eBay's page for your category).

Yes -- eBay's own fee page defines the "total amount of the sale" (the amount fees are calculated on) as the item price, any handling charges, any shipping the buyer paid, sales tax, and any other applicable fees. So the final value fee percentage applies to shipping and tax too, even though eBay collects and remits most sales tax directly to the state rather than paying it out to you -- this calculator includes tax in the fee base but excludes it from your net payout, matching how eBay actually pays sellers.

You get up to 250 zero-insertion-fee listings a month; after that it's $0.35 per listing (before it even sells). Most casual and small sellers stay under the free allowance every month.

A Basic, Premium, Anchor or Enterprise Store subscription lowers the "most categories" final value fee from 13.6% to 12.7% (up to a $2,500 threshold instead of $7,500, then 2.35% above it). On a $1,000.00 sale that's $127.00 with a Store vs. $136.00 without -- a $9.00 difference -- though the subscription itself costs a monthly fee, so it only pays off once your sales volume is high enough. The free Starter Store tier gives extra listings but not this fee discount.

No. Most categories are 13.6% (up to $7,500), but eBay publishes different rates for some: Books/Movies/TV/Music run 15.3%, Jewelry & Watches run 15% up to $5,000 then 9% above it (a $6,000.00 jewelry sale pays $840.00 in final value fees), and qualifying athletic shoes sold for $150 or more run a flat 8% with no per-order fee at all (a $150.00 pair of shoes pays just $12.00). Pick your category above to use the right rate.

Promoted Listings Standard charges an ad rate you set yourself (a percent of the sale), charged only when a promoted listing actually sells -- it's on top of the final value and per-order fees, not instead of them. Enter your own ad rate in the calculator above; eBay's suggested-rate tool in Seller Hub will show you a rate for your specific listing and marketplace conditions.

Profit = net payout − your item cost − your own shipping cost. Net payout is the sold price plus shipping you charged, minus all your eBay fees (final value, per-order and any Promoted Listings fee). On a $100.00 sale with a $40.00 item cost and $5.00 shipping cost: net payout $86.00 − $40.00 − $5.00 = $41.00 profit.

The calculator solves for the sold price where profit is exactly $0, given your item cost, shipping cost, tax and any promoted rate. For the $40.00 item cost / $5.00 shipping cost example above, that break-even price is $52.55. It assumes your sale stays in the same fee-rate tier and per-order-fee bracket as the price you entered, which covers the vast majority of individual listings.

A few things can cause small differences: promotional or negotiated rates on your account, international/currency-conversion fees, regulatory operating fees in some categories or countries, refund/dispute adjustments, or a rate change since this page was last reviewed. Use the override fields above if you know your account's actual rate, and always treat your eBay invoice as the final word.
