eBay fees explained

What is eBay's final value fee?

For most categories it's around 13.25% of the total sale amount, plus $0.30 per order (or $0.40 on orders over $10). Some categories, like certain collectibles or electronics, differ. Change the fee field for your category.

Does eBay take a fee on shipping?

Yes. The final value fee is calculated on the total amount of the sale, which includes shipping and handling.

Is it worth selling cheap items on eBay?

Often not. On a $6 item with $4.60 shipping you pay, fees and postage can leave you at a loss. Enter the numbers above to check.

How is profit calculated?

Net profit = item price + shipping charged − platform fees − item cost − shipping you pay − other costs. The price for a target margin solves that equation for the item price.
