eBay fee calculator

The fee eBay UK 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 UK defines as the item price, postage, and any applicable taxes. 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.

Not on every category. eBay UK 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 eBay Shop 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 UK publishes for the tier you selected.

eBay UK 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 UK 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 UK'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.

Three charges on each sale, and the category decides the largest of them. eBay UK charges a final value fee set per category, a fixed per-order fee, and a regulatory operating fee on every sale - all three taken on the total amount of the sale, so buyer-paid postage raises two of them. A eBay Shop subscription is charged monthly against the account on top. Enter a price and a category above to see all three per-sale charges computed from the published rate card.

A percentage eBay UK charges on every sale on top of the final value fee, taken on the same total amount of the sale. It is not a category rate and not a payment charge: one published rate applies to every business sale, which is why it appears as its own line in the breakdown above with the row it came from. eBay US publishes no equivalent, so a figure from a US fee calculator will be short by it.

A fixed amount eBay UK 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 GBP, not by how many items the order contains. A third, lower amount is published for selected Collectables and Home, Furniture and DIY listings created inside a stated window, and this page does not apply it: the listing date is not one of its inputs, so the breakdown shows the unconditional amount rather than one that might not be yours.

Not the final value fee. eBay UK publishes one final value fee schedule per account type, and all four business options - no Shop, Basic, Featured and Anchor - are on the same schedule, so moving up a Shop tier changes no rate in the breakdown above and removes no category from the list. What a Shop changes is the monthly charge, the listing allowance that comes with it, and the insertion fees beyond it. The monthly charge is reported under the breakdown as an account-level cost.

No, and the page says so rather than adding it. eBay UK publishes its business selling fees exclusive of VAT and adds VAT to them, and whether that VAT is a cost depends on whether the seller is VAT registered: a registered business reclaims it, an unregistered seller does not. This page does not ask, so VAT on selling fees is named under the breakdown with the published rate and no amount is added to the total either way.

Three 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 all three rates are taken against and, on a banded category, which band applies. The order total decides which per-order fee amount is charged. The account type selects the rate schedule, and the four business options are all on one. 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 UK charges a percentage on the total amount of the sale, a fixed per-order fee and a regulatory operating fee, with payment processing included and no fulfilment fee on a listing. Amazon UK charges a referral fee on the sales price and a fulfilment fee keyed on the packaged size and weight when Amazon ships the unit. 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, classified ad fees 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 needs the buyer's country, the Premium Service listings discount needs Top-rated status, and the two additional final value fee surcharges need a seller performance state - three inputs this page does not collect. Vehicles are published with a minimum and a maximum that are not in a column this page can read, so the category is not offered rather than priced from part of its card.

No. eBay UK 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.
