How eBay fees are calculated
- Total amount of the sale. eBay adds up the item price, shipping and handling charged to the buyer, and sales tax.
- Final value fee. A category-specific percentage is applied to that total. In most categories, a lower 2.35% rate applies to the part of the sale above a threshold ($7,500 without a Store, usually $2,500 with a Store).
- Per order fee. $0.30 is added for orders of $10.00 or less, and $0.40 for orders over $10.00.
- Optional and conditional fees. Promoted Listings ad fees, the 1.65% international fee, Below Standard surcharges and insertion fees are added on top. Top Rated Plus listings get 10% off the final value fee.
Payment processing is included in the final value fee. Since eBay switched to managed payments, US sellers no longer pay a separate PayPal or card processing fee.

eBay Fee Calculation Examples
Example 1: smartphone, no Store. Sold for $400 with free shipping. With 6% sales tax, the total amount of the sale is $424.
Final value fee: 13.6% × $424 + $0.40 = $58.06. You receive $400 − $58.06 = $341.94 before your costs.
Example 2: trading card, no Store. Sold for $9,500 with free shipping. With 6% sales tax, the total amount of the sale is $10,070.
Final value fee: 13.25% × $7,500 + 2.35% × $2,570 + $0.40 = $1,054.55.
Example 3: handbag, Basic Store. Sold for $400 with free shipping. Total amount of the sale with 6% tax: $424.
Final value fee: 13% × $424 + $0.40 = $55.52.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an eBay fees calculator and why should I use it?
An eBay fees calculator estimates how much eBay will charge when your item sells and how much profit you keep. eBay fees depend on the category, the sale amount, your Store subscription and your seller performance, so working them out by hand is easy to get wrong. The calculator does it instantly and shows a full breakdown.
How much does eBay charge to sell an item in 2026?
For most categories, sellers without a Store pay 13.6% of the total amount of the sale up to $7,500, plus 2.35% on the portion above $7,500. On top of that comes a per order fee of $0.30 for orders of $10 or less and $0.40 for orders over $10. With a Basic Store or higher, the rate for most categories is 12.7% up to $2,500.
How are eBay fees calculated for different categories?
Each category has its own final value fee percentage and threshold. For example, Books, Movies & TV and Music are charged 15.3%, Guitars & Basses 6.7%, and Heavy Equipment 3%. With a Store, electronics and phones are 9.35%, laptops and desktops 7.35%, and auto parts 11.5% up to $1,000 and 2.35% above. See the tables above for the full list.
Does eBay charge fees on shipping and sales tax?
Yes. The final value fee is calculated on the total amount of the sale, which includes the item price, shipping and handling charged to the buyer, and sales tax. Promoted Listings ad fees are also calculated on this total. Our calculator includes both.
Does the eBay fees calculator account for PayPal fees?
There is no separate PayPal fee anymore. eBay now processes payments itself, and payment processing is included in the final value fee and the per order fee. You do not pay an extra PayPal or card processing fee on eBay.com sales.
Is an eBay Store worth it to lower fees?
A Basic Store or higher lowers the final value fee in many categories, for example from 13.6% to 12.7% in most categories and to 9.35% or 7.35% in electronics. It also gives you more free listings. Compare the monthly subscription with the fee savings on your expected sales volume. Note that a Starter Store does not reduce final value fees.
Can I use the eBay fees calculator for international sales?
