Fee Calculator

Estimated from eBay's published standard, non-Store business-seller fee schedule, adjustable with the Store discount and Seller performance fields above (points are added to or subtracted from the final value fee rate directly — the store-discount range is an approximation since it genuinely varies by tier and category; the performance surcharge is eBay's own published +6/+7 points). The final value fee is applied to sold price + shipping charged to the buyer. For UK sales, the Regulatory Operating Fee (0.35% of the sale) and 20% VAT on eBay's fees are included automatically as real costs — tick "VAT-registered business" if you can reclaim that VAT, since then it isn't a cost to you. International fee is an optional estimate you enter yourself; it varies by buyer destination and isn't looked up automatically. In "target margin" mode, the required price assumes the fixed per-order fee sits in its higher bracket — true for any realistically priced resale item. A few subcategories (watches, guitars, bullion, athletic shoes ≥$150) carry their own special rates not reflected in this category-level estimate. Sales tax isn't modeled — add it under "Other costs" if it affects your net. Australia: this always estimates the paid "Pro Starter" fee schedule — it does not know about eBay AU's free selling plan (introduced May 2026), which waives the final value fee entirely for AU-based sellers under AU$25,000/year in sales, since there's no seller-volume input anywhere in this calculator to check eligibility with. Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Canada are calculator-only markets — standard rate only, no category breakdown, and less verified than the UK/US/AU figures above; eBay's actual rate there can also depend on your own business's country of registration, which isn't modeled. Verify exact numbers in your own Seller Hub before a pricing decision that matters.

Estimated from PayPal's own published Merchant Fees pages for the US/UK/AU markets (verified directly against paypal.com, not a third-party aggregator, 2026-09). This is a general seller-payment calculator, not specific to eBay — most eBay sales today go through eBay's own Managed Payments, where eBay collects the buyer's payment directly and charges its own final value fee (the eBay Fees tab), with no separate PayPal transaction on top. This tab is for the cases where PayPal fees genuinely apply on their own: your own website, Etsy, invoicing a customer directly, or any other payment received via PayPal. Uses the "receiving money for goods and services" rate for a standard commercial transaction — other PayPal transaction types (subscriptions, point of sale, PayPal Checkout button integrations, which carry a different, usually higher rate) aren't modeled. The international surcharge is an estimate (UK varies by whether the buyer is in the EEA — this uses the higher non-EEA rate to avoid understating the fee). Currency conversion fees aren't included. Verify exact numbers against your own PayPal account before a decision that matters.

USPS prices are the current retail Priority Mail / Priority Mail Express Flat Rate prices, read directly from USPS's own official Postal Explorer price list (Notice 123, effective 2026-07-12) — online Click-N-Ship and commercial rates are typically lower, not modeled here. Royal Mail prices are the current published starting prices from royalmail.com (2026-09), for personal/marketplace-seller online postage — business account rates differ. Neither includes any discount your own eBay/marketplace label-buying integration might get you, which is often cheaper than either retail rate shown here.
