eBay Fee Calculator

Margins on eBay come down to one charge every seller pays when an item sells: the final value fee, a percentage of the total sale plus a small per-order fee. eBay's fee page states that there is no separate third-party payment processing fee on top of it, so knowing what the final value fee leaves you before you list is most of what pricing with a margin requires. This tool gives you that figure up front rather than after the payout lands.

eBay's Selling fees page (checked September 2026) sets the final value fee for most categories at 13.6% of the total amount of the sale up to $7,500, plus 2.35% of any portion above $7,500, plus a per-order fee of $0.30 for orders of $10 or less and $0.40 for larger orders. The total amount of the sale includes the item price, the shipping and handling you charge, and sales tax. Some categories use other rates, such as 15.3% for books, movies and music, and Basic or higher Store subscribers pay reduced rates in many categories. This calculator applies the most-categories rate to the item price plus shipping; it has no sales tax, category or Store-rate inputs.

Sellers often leave sales tax out of the total when estimating final value fees, but eBay builds tax into the fee base, so omitting it understates your costs. Category matters too, since final value rates differ sharply from one to the next, and it pays to confirm exactly which one your item falls under. The Store option in this tool adds the monthly subscription cost to the volume projection but does not change the fee rate. On eBay itself, Starter Store subscribers pay the standard rates; the reduced Store rates start at Basic.
