The eBay Profit Calculator
eBay's fee is not one fee — it's a stack: a category percentage, a per-order fee, maybe an ad fee on top. Run the whole stack on a sale, add what the item cost you and what shipping really costs, and see the number that matters: your true profit.
One sale, the whole truth
US seller rates, updated for the current eBay fee schedule. Results update as you type.
How it works: eBay charges its final value fee on the total the buyer pays — item price + shipping you charge + any sales tax eBay collects — at your category's rate, then adds a per-order fee ($0.30 on orders up to $10, $0.40 above). Promoted Listings takes its ad rate off the same total. This tool runs that whole stack, then subtracts what the item and the shipping actually cost you.

Private by design: everything runs right here in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere, saved anywhere, or seen by anyone — close the tab and it's gone. Rates are the published US schedule as of late 2026; eBay changes fees from time to time, so treat results as a close estimate, not a statement.
Straight Answers
What sellers usually get wrong
"Free shipping" doesn't lower your fees
eBay fees are charged on the total the buyer pays. Charge $10 shipping on a $40 item or list it at $50 with free shipping — the fee base is $50 either way. Free shipping only helps if it wins you the sale.
The ad fee is on top of everything
Promoted Listings Standard charges your ad rate on the same total, after the final value fee. A 5% ad rate on a thin-margin item can quietly eat the entire profit — run the number here before you raise a rate, not after the payout looks small.
The per-order fee punishes cheap items
That flat $0.30–$0.40 is nothing on a $200 sale and a real bite on a $6 one. It's why very cheap items need bundling, a higher price, or a shipping charge that carries its weight.
A Store subscription is a math question, not a status symbol
The Store rate saves roughly 0.9 points on most categories. That saving covers a Basic Store's monthly cost at roughly $2,400+ of monthly sales — below that, the free 250 listings are usually the smarter deal. This calculator shows the per-sale difference so you can multiply it by your own volume.
