eBay Profit Calculator

eBay fees at a glance

• Selling fee: 13.6% of the total sale (item price plus shipping) up to $7,500 in most categories; 13.25% for coins, trading cards, comics and card games. Plus $0.30 per order ($10 or less) or $0.40 (over $10).
• Payment processing: Included in the final value fee — there is no separate processing charge.
• Shipping: Seller-paid on most listings unless you charge the buyer separately.

Worked example

Sell for $100.00 an item you bought for $15.00. Total fees come to about $14.00, leaving roughly $63.00 net profit before shipping supplies and taxes.

What to watch out for

• The final value fee applies to shipping too, so free shipping is not free — price it in.
• Store subscriptions lower the percentage slightly at volume; below ~50 sales a month it rarely pays for itself.
• Promoted Listings ad rates come off the top of your margin, on top of the final value fee.
• Start from eBay sold listings, not active asking prices: search the item, open Filters, enable Sold items, and sort by Ended recently. Take the middle cluster and drop the outliers.
• A sold listing price is the gross order amount — the seller kept roughly 13.6% plus the per-order fee less than the figure shown. That gap is exactly what this calculator makes visible.

Methodology and sources

Every percentage and flat fee on this page was read from eBay's own published seller fee schedule, not from third-party summaries. Worked examples use those exact rates.

Last verified: October 7, 2026. Marketplaces change fees several times a year, so each source page below is re-checked on a recurring basis and this date is updated when the figures are confirmed or corrected. If you spot a stale rate, the official page linked below is always authoritative over this one.

Know the sold price before you buy

Fees only matter if the item sells for what you expect. FlipAI lets you take a photo of any item or scan its barcode to instantly see live market prices from eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Amazon, and more — so you can check what it's worth before you commit.

Looking for the full eBay fee schedule instead of the profit math? The eBay fee calculator lists final value fees by category, Store subscription tiers, Promoted Listings ad rates and every seller surcharge.

Selling collectibles locally avoids eBay fees altogether, though shops buy below market — worth comparing against the net above: sell sports cards near me, Pokémon cards, comic books, coins, vinyl records, Funko Pops.
