How eBay fees are calculated

eBay charges sellers a final value fee on the total amount the buyer pays — that's item price plus shipping. The rate depends on your category: most items are 13.6%, consumer electronics are 8%, clothing/books are 15.3%, and jewelry is 15%. If the order total exceeds $7,500, only the first $7,500 is charged at the category rate; the remainder is charged at a reduced 2.35%.

On top of the percentage fee, eBay adds a per-order fee: $0.30 for orders totaling $10 or less, $0.40 for orders over $10. Unlike Poshmark or Mercari, eBay's fee base always includes any shipping amount the buyer pays.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does eBay calculate seller fees?

eBay's main cost is the final value fee: a percentage of the total amount the buyer pays (item price + shipping + any applicable tax). Most categories charge 13.6% on the first $7,500, then 2.35% on amounts above that. eBay also adds a flat per-order fee of $0.30 for orders under $10 or $0.40 for orders over $10.

What is eBay's final value fee percentage?

It depends on the category. Most categories are 13.6%. Consumer Electronics are 8%. Clothing and Accessories, and Books & Media are 15.3%. Jewelry & Watches are 15%. Amounts above $7,500 are charged 2.35% regardless of category.

Does eBay charge fees on shipping?

Yes. eBay's final value fee is calculated on the total amount the buyer pays, which includes the item price plus any shipping the buyer pays. If you charge $5 shipping on a $50 item, the fee is calculated on $55, not $50.

What is eBay's per-order fee?

eBay charges a small flat fee per completed order: $0.30 for orders totaling $10 or less, and $0.40 for orders over $10. This is separate from the final value fee percentage and applies to all private sellers.

How does the eBay tiered fee structure work above $7,500?

For high-value sales, eBay applies a two-tier rate. The category's standard rate applies only to the first $7,500 of the order total. Any amount above $7,500 is charged at a reduced rate of 2.35%. So selling a $10,000 item in Most Categories costs (13.6% × $7,500) + (2.35% × $2,500) + the per-order fee.
