eBay Fee Calculator – Final Value Fee and Profit
This eBay fee calculator shows what eBay keeps and what you take home on a sale. Enter the sold price, the shipping you charge, the buyer's sales tax rate, your item cost and your shipping cost. It applies the final value fee for most categories (13.6% of the total amount up to $7,500 and 2.35% above), the per-order fee of $0.40 ($0.30 for orders of $10 or less), and an optional Promoted Listings rate. You can change the category rate, because some categories differ. The result shows total fees, net payout, profit and margin, so you can price items before you list them.
