How to use the eBay Fee Calculator

- Keep the eBay.com rates or change them for your category, store or marketplace.
- Add sales tax, international fee or promoted listing rate if they apply.
- Press Calculate to see each fee.
Formula
Sale total = item price + shipping + sales tax collected by eBay
Final value fee = sale total up to the tier limit × main rate + any amount above it × higher-tier rate
Total fees = final value fee + per-order fee + international fee + promoted listing fee
Examples
- 45 item + 8 shipping, no tax, eBay.com default rates: final value fee 53 × 13.6% = 7.21, per-order fee 0.40, total ≈ 7.61.
Frequently asked questions
Where do the default rates come from?
From eBay’s official selling fees pages for eBay.com, for most categories with no store subscription, checked on 27 October 2026. Some categories (for example certain clothing, collectibles, jewellery or business equipment) and store subscribers pay different rates, so change the fields to match your case.
Can I use this for eBay UK, Germany, Australia or another site?
Yes. Choose “Other marketplace or my own rates”, select your currency and type in the rates from your eBay site’s fee page. The tiered rate and per-order fee fields can be set to 0 if your site does not use them.
Does eBay charge fees on shipping?
Yes. The final value fee is charged on the total amount of the sale, which includes shipping and handling charged to the buyer.
