eBay Selling Fee Calculator
Calculate your eBay final value fee and true net profit per sale, or work backward to find the selling price you need to hit a target profit.
What actually gets deducted from an eBay sale
When an item sells on eBay, you don't keep the full selling price. eBay charges a final value fee calculated on the total amount the buyer pays — item price plus shipping — along with a small fixed per-order fee, before you even account for your own item cost and shipping.
Why the fee percentage changes by category
| Category | Typical fee range |
|---|---|
| Most categories | Around 13%–14% |
| Consumer Electronics | Lower, around 8% |
| Clothing, Jewelry & Watches | Higher, around 15% |
| Business & Industrial | Lowest, around 3% |
eBay sets lower fee percentages on categories with typically higher price points and thinner margins, and higher percentages on categories where sellers can more easily absorb the cost.
The formulas this calculator uses
To find a break-even or target-profit price, the calculator reverses this: it adds your target profit back to all your costs and fees, then solves for the total amount you'd need to receive from the buyer.
