How it works
The calculator follows eBay's standard published US rates: a 13.25% final value fee on the total sale amount (item price + buyer-paid shipping) plus a fixed $0.30 per-order fee, with an optional $0.35 insertion fee for listings beyond your free monthly allotment.
sale total = item price + shipping · final value fee = 13.25% × sale total · per-order fee = $0.30
total fees = final value fee + $0.30 (+ $0.35 if insertion checked) · net payout = sale total − total fees
For example, a $100 item with $10 buyer-paid shipping: the sale total is $110, the final value fee is $14.58 (13.25% of $110), the per-order fee is $0.30, so total fees are $14.88 and you keep $95.13. Note that the 13.25% applies to the sale total, including shipping — not just the item price.
Estimates based on eBay's standard published US rates (13.25% final value fee + $0.30 per order + ~$0.35 insertion fee). Actual rates vary by category, store subscription, and country, and eBay may change its pricing over time — always confirm with eBay's current fee schedule.
Frequently asked questions
How much does eBay charge per sale?
eBay's standard published US rate is a 13.25% final value fee on the total sale amount (item price plus buyer-paid shipping) plus a $0.30 per-order fee. So a $100 sale with $10 buyer-paid shipping costs about $14.88 in fees. The percentage varies by category and store subscription, so treat every figure as an estimate.
Does eBay charge final value fees on shipping?
Yes. eBay's final value fee is calculated on the total amount the buyer pays, which includes the item price plus the shipping amount the buyer was charged. Free shipping simplifies the math, but the fee applies to shipping charges when you collect them.
What is eBay's $0.30 per-order fee?
In addition to the percentage final value fee, eBay charges a fixed $0.30 per order. It applies once per order regardless of the item price, so it takes a bigger relative bite out of low-priced items — on a $5 sale it's an extra 6%.
How do eBay insertion fees work?
eBay gives sellers a free monthly allotment of listings (250 for most accounts). Beyond that, each new or renewed listing costs an insertion fee of about $0.35 per item. This calculator lets you add that fee optionally when you price a listing that exceeds your free allotment.
