How it works
For most categories eBay charges a 13.6% final value fee on the total sale amount (item, buyer-paid shipping and sales tax) plus a per-order fee of $0.30 on orders of $10 or less, or $0.40 above $10.
Because the fee depends on the price, the calculator searches for the lowest price where price minus eBay fees equals your target.
Example
| You want to keep | Charge on eBay |
|---|---|
| $20 | $24.40 |
| $50 | $59.13 |
| $100 | $117.00 |
Shipping charged to buyer is $5. Some categories are higher or lower (guitars are lower, handbags and jewelry higher), Store subscribers get reduced rates, and the percentage drops on the portion above $7,500. This calculator uses the standard rate and does not model sales tax. Check eBay's category table for your item.
