eBay Fee Calculator

eBay's primary seller fee is the final value fee, charged as a percentage of the total sale amount (item price + shipping) plus a flat $0.30 per order. The percentage varies by category — most categories fall between 10% and 13.25%. For example, clothing and accessories are charged at 12.35%, electronics at 12.35% for items under $2,000, and books at 14.35%. eBay simplified its fee structure in recent years by folding payment processing into the final value fee, so there's no longer a separate payment processing charge.

eBay gives sellers up to 250 free listings per month on a personal account. Beyond that, or if you want additional features, an eBay Store subscription ($7.95–$349.95/month) provides more free listings and lower final value fees. For example, a Basic Store ($7.95/month) reduces the final value fee on many categories and provides 1,000 free fixed-price listings per month. Anchor and Enterprise stores offer even lower rates for high-volume sellers.

Additional costs to consider include promoted listings (which charge an ad fee of 2–20% on sales driven by ads), international selling fees (1.65% additional for sales outside your country), and eBay-managed payments currency conversion fees (3% for cross-border transactions). Sellers who offer returns also absorb the return shipping cost in many cases. Unlike Amazon, eBay doesn't charge storage or fulfillment fees since sellers handle their own shipping — but the final value fee's inclusion of shipping revenue means your effective rate applies to the full order total.
