eBay Fee Calculator

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.

It depends on the category. Most categories (including Clothing & Accessories) are 13.6% on the first $7,500, then 2.35%. Books & Media are 15.3%. Jewelry & Watches are 15% up to $5,000, then 9% on the amount above $5,000. Athletic Shoes (Men's/Women's Sports Shoes) at $150+ are 8% with no per-order fee.

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.

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.

For most categories, eBay applies a two-tier rate: the standard rate applies only to the first $7,500 of the order total, and 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. Some categories use their own tier rules instead — Jewelry & Watches charges 15% up to $5,000 and 9% on the portion above.
