eBay Fee Calculator
Net revenue per eBay sale.
Calculate eBay fees per sale including final value fee and payment processing. Enter sale price to see total ebay fees and net revenue per sale from price.
What this tool does
This calculator shows your net revenue from a single eBay sale by taking the total amount you receive (sale price plus shipping) and subtracting all associated fees. The result represents what actually lands in your account after the platform's final value fee, payment processing fee, and fixed per-transaction charge are deducted. Sale price and shipping charged are the primary drivers of your gross revenue, while the fee percentages and fixed payment amount determine how much is retained as costs. A typical scenario: you list an item at a certain price, set your shipping cost, and want to know your actual take-home after fees are applied. The calculation assumes fees are charged on the combined sale and shipping total, and does not account for additional costs like listing fees, shipping supplies, or taxes. Results are shown for educational illustration of fee impact on per-sale profitability.
Quick answer: with the default values, the result is $5.80 (Total eBay Fees per Sale). Adjust the values below for your own figures.

eBay charges two main fees per sale: a Final Value Fee (percentage of sale + shipping, varies 10-15% by category) and payment processing (Managed Payments in typically 2.7% + 0.30). Combined take rate is 13-18% for most sellers - higher than Etsy (11-13%) but lower than Amazon (15-20%).
30 sale + 5 shipping = 35 base. At 13% category fee: 4.55. Payment fee 2.7% + 0.30 = 1.24. Total fees 5.79, net revenue 29.21. Effective take rate 16.5%. After product cost and postage actual cost, typical eBay seller nets 30-50% of gross sale.
Category matters enormously. Media (books, DVDs): 10%. Collectibles/antiques: 12%. Clothing: 14%. Electronics: 12.75%. Most Other: 13%. Plus some categories charge a 0.35 insertion fee for listings beyond 250/month. Shop subscriptions (25-300/month) eliminate some insertion fees and reduce final value fees 1-3% depending on tier.
Run it with sensible defaults
Using sale price of 30, shipping charged of 5, final value fee of 13%, payment fee of 2.7%, the calculation works out to 5.80. The defaults are meant as a starting point, not a recommendation.
The levers in this calculation
The inputs — Sale Price, Shipping Charged, Final Value Fee %, Payment Fee %, and Payment Fee Fixed — do not pull with equal force.
How the math works
Final value fee = (sale + shipping) × category %. Payment fee = (sale + shipping) × payment % + fixed. Total = sum. Net = gross - total fees.
Reading a low result
A disappointing result is information, not a judgement. The input that dragged the figure down most is usually where a single change has the largest effect, since depth on the worst input tends to move the result more than spreading effort across every input at once.
What this doesn't capture
The result reflects only the inputs you provide and the assumptions built into the formula. It is a simplified model rather than a complete picture, and factors specific to your situation may matter just as much.
£30 + £5 shipping × 13% final value + 2.7% payment = $5.80.
