The fees on an eBay sale
Final value fee. A percentage of the total the buyer pays, item and shipping together. For most categories it is around 13.6% at the time of writing, but it varies by category and is lower for some store subscribers. Type your own rate into the calculator.
Per-order fee. $0.30 on orders of $10 or less and $0.40 on larger orders.
Promoted Listings. Optional. You pick an ad rate and pay it on sales that came through an ad.
Listing (insertion) fees. A monthly allowance of listings is free; after that a fee applies. It is not part of a single sale, so check your own allowance on eBay.
How to keep more of every sale
- Charge for shipping fairly: the final value fee applies to it too, so free shipping is not free of fees.
- Check the rate for your own category, not only the usual one.
- Test Promoted Listings with a small rate and keep it only if profit stays positive after the ad cost.
- Get found without paying for ads: a clear 80-character title and complete item specifics. Try the free eBay title builder.
Frequently asked questions
How much does eBay take from a sale?
eBay charges a final value fee, a percentage of the total the buyer pays, which includes the item price and the shipping you charge, plus a small fixed per-order fee. For most categories the percentage is around 13.6% at the time of writing, and the per-order fee is $0.30 on orders of $10 or less and $0.40 on larger orders. Rates differ by category, so check eBay's selling-fees page for yours.
Does eBay charge fees on shipping?
Yes. The final value fee is calculated on the whole amount the buyer pays, shipping included, so charging more for shipping also raises the fee.
Is there a fee to list an item?
eBay gives sellers a number of free listings each month and charges an insertion fee after that, which depends on the category and your store plan. This calculator covers the fees on a sale; check your monthly allowance on eBay.
What is the per-order fee?
A small fixed fee eBay adds to each order on top of the percentage: $0.30 when the order total is $10 or less, and $0.40 when it is more. The calculator adds the right one for you.
What are Promoted Listings?
An optional advertising tool. You choose an ad rate and pay it only on items that sell through an ad. Enter your rate in the calculator to see how it changes your profit.
How do I price an eBay item for profit?
Enter your costs and the margin you want, and the calculator shows the item price that covers every fee and leaves that margin. Then compare it with what similar items are selling for.
