Tool description

This calculator estimates eBay-style seller fees using the fee assumptions you enter (final value fee %, fixed per-order fee, and optional promoted listing rate). Actual fees can vary by category, store subscription, payment method, and policy updates—always verify with eBay’s official fee tables.

How to use

  1. Enter item price, shipping charged, and (optionally) sales tax collected.
  2. Enter your final value fee %, fixed per-order fee, and optional promoted listing rate.
  3. Add your costs (COGS, shipping, other) if you want a profit estimate.
  4. Calculate to see net proceeds, profit, and a full breakdown.

Why it’s useful

  • Price listings using a realistic fee and cost model.
  • Compare promoted vs non-promoted scenarios.
  • Understand which line items drive your margin.

Use cases & interpretation

  • Break-even pricing: adjust item price until profit is ≥ 0 for your costs.
  • Shipping strategy: compare “free shipping” vs “shipping charged” scenarios by adjusting inputs.
  • Ad testing: set an ad rate and measure the impact on net proceeds.

FAQs

No—this tool uses the numbers you enter. eBay fees vary by category and can change over time, so confirm your final value fee % and any fixed fees in eBay’s official documentation.

Policies can differ by marketplace and region. Use the “include sales tax” toggle to model both scenarios, and match your settings to your eBay fee statement.
