How eBay fees work
eBay charges a final value fee on the entire sale amount — item price plus any shipping the buyer pays. The default rate is 13.6% for most categories without a Store subscription, but it ranges from 12.7% to 15.3% depending on what you're selling. On top of that, eBay adds a flat per-order fee, typically $0.30–$0.40.
An eBay Store subscription can lower your final value fee slightly and raise your free-listing allowance. A Basic Store (around $21.95/month) typically drops the FVF to around 12.7% and bumps free listings to roughly 1,000/month. A Starter Store (around $4.95/month) raises your free listings but usually doesn't move the FVF. Most sellers get 250 free fixed-price listings per month with no Store at all — past that, eBay charges $0.35 per additional listing.
The net payout shown here is your gross sale amount minus the final value fee, per-order fee, any insertion fee, item cost, and shipping. Use it as a pricing sanity check before you list — if the estimated payout doesn't cover your costs, raise your price or reconsider the category before publishing.

eBay fee calculator FAQ
What does eBay charge sellers?
eBay charges a final value fee on the total sale amount — item price plus buyer-paid shipping. The rate is typically 13.6% for most categories without a Store subscription, ranging from 12.7% to 15.3% by category. eBay also adds a flat per-order fee, typically $0.30–$0.40.
Does eBay charge a fee on shipping?
Yes. The final value fee applies to your entire sale amount, including the shipping the buyer pays. If you sell a $40 item with $8 buyer-paid shipping, the fee base is $48. Offering free shipping doesn't reduce your fee base — it just shifts the cost into your item price instead.
Does an eBay Store subscription lower my fees?
Yes, slightly. A Basic Store (around $21.95/month) typically drops your final value fee to roughly 12.7% in many categories and raises your free-listing allowance to about 1,000/month. A Starter Store (around $4.95/month) increases free listings but usually doesn't change the FVF. Whether a Store pays for itself depends on your monthly sales volume and listing count.
How many free listings does eBay give sellers?
Most sellers get 250 free fixed-price listings per month with no Store subscription. After that, eBay charges $0.35 per listing. A Basic Store raises the free allowance to roughly 1,000/month. This calculator assumes you're within your free allowance by default — toggle the insertion fee field in "More options" if you've used up your free listings.
How do eBay fees compare to Mercari or Poshmark?
eBay's final value fee (12.7–15.3%) plus a flat per-order fee is comparable to Mercari's flat 10% fee, but eBay's effective rate often runs higher once the per-order fee and category variance are factored in. Poshmark charges a flat $2.95 under $15 and 20% at $15 or more. Use our Mercari fee calculator or multi-platform comparison tool to compare side by side.
Can I use this eBay calculator on mobile?
Yes. The calculator is fully responsive and works on phones and tablets. All inputs and the results panel adapt to smaller screens, so you can run a quick pricing check while you're drafting a listing in the eBay app.
