eBay fee calculator

It depends on the category, the total amount of the sale and whether you subscribe to an eBay Store. eBay US charges a final value fee on each sale and a per order fee on top of it, and the final value fee rate is set per category. Enter a price and a category above to see both computed from the published rate card.

The fee eBay US charges when an item sells. It is a percentage of the total amount of the sale, set per category, and it already includes payment processing - there is no separate processing fee to add. The percentage is published per category and this page computes it from the stored rate-card row.

The total amount of the sale, which eBay US defines as the item price plus handling plus buyer-paid shipping plus sales tax plus other applicable fees. Postage is part of that base, so an item sold with postage charged separately pays a larger fee than the same item sold at the item price alone. The shipping price field above is what puts it in the base, and the breakdown shows the figure the rate was taken against.

No. eBay US bundles payment processing into the final value fee and charges nothing separately for it. The rate card carries a payment processing row at zero to say so, and this page leaves it out of the breakdown rather than showing it at zero: a fee of nothing and a fee that is not charged are different claims.

A fixed amount eBay US charges once per order, on top of the final value fee. There are two published amounts and which one applies is decided by the order total in dollars, not by how many items the order contains. A small number of category and price combinations are published with the per order fee not charged at all, and on those the breakdown shows no per order line rather than a zero.

eBay US publishes two final value fee schedules and your eBay Store subscription chooses between them. One applies without a Store and on the Starter tier, and the other applies from Basic upwards. The two differ by category rather than by one flat discount, so the only way to see what a subscription changes for a particular product is to compute the same product on both. The store tier selector above does that.

Because the two schedules do not publish the same categories. The schedule that applies without a Store subscription publishes 12 categories, and the schedule from Basic upwards publishes 51. Four categories appear on both at different rates. The dropdown offers the categories the selected schedule publishes a rate for, so every option in it has a figure behind it.

Not on every category. eBay US publishes three shapes, and the published schedule below says which one each category uses: one rate at every price, one rate per price band applied to the whole sale, and a rate per price portion where each band's rate applies only to the part of the sale inside it. The difference is not small on a high-value item, which is why the shape is read from the rate card rather than assumed.

No. A Store subscription is charged whether or not any particular unit sells, so dividing it into one unit would mean guessing how many units you sell. It is reported separately under the breakdown as an account-level cost, with the figure eBay US publishes for the tier you selected.

Four inputs, and the page shows each one's effect rather than recommending any of them. The category sets the final value fee rate. The total amount of the sale sets the figure the rate is taken against and, on a banded category, which band applies. The order total decides which per order amount is charged. The Store subscription selects which of the two rate schedules applies. Change any of them above and every figure recomputes.

They are charged for different things, so the comparison is between fee structures rather than between two rates. eBay US charges one percentage on the total amount of the sale plus a fixed per order amount, with payment processing included and no fulfilment fee on a listing. Amazon charges a referral fee on the sales price, a fulfilment fee keyed on the packaged size and weight when Amazon ships the unit, and a closing fee on some categories. Each calculator prices one unit on its own marketplace from that marketplace's published card.

The per-sale fees are computed; the rest are named rather than guessed. Insertion fees, optional listing upgrades and vehicle listing fees are charged for listing rather than for selling, so they do not follow from one unit's sale price. Promoted Listings is seller-configured, and the ad spend field above is where that cost enters the figures. The international fee and the Top Rated Plus discount each depend on an input this page does not collect yet.

eBay US publishes two separate waits and both are read from its own documentation: how long a sale's proceeds take to become available for payout, and how long an initiated payout takes to reach a bank account. The payout section below lists every disbursement path eBay US publishes, fastest first, and the working capital figure is built from the two published waits with the rows it used named beside it. No payout cadence is stated, because a cadence is a schedule you choose rather than a wait.

Every figure is computed from a stored rate-card row with the date it was last checked against eBay US's own published page, and the breakdown states the date it resolved the rates against. Rows are selected against that date, so a card that has ended and one that has not started yet are both excluded. The source count and the last verification date are in the footer.
