FAIR CALCS - RESALE CALCULATOR

eBay fees, profit, and target price in one estimate.

Enter the expected sale price and your real item, shipping, packaging, promoted-listing, and other costs. The calculator starts with a reviewed most-category estimate and lets you change every assumption.

Starting fee assumption

The current most-category example uses 13.6% of the fee base up to $7,500 and 2.35% of the portion above $7,500, plus an estimated per-order fee. Actual eBay rates vary by category, store plan, order value, and seller status.

What enters the fee base

The reviewed eBay source includes the item price, buyer-paid shipping, and sales tax in the final-value-fee base. Item cost, seller-paid shipping, packaging, promoted-listing fees, and other business costs are separate deductions from your profit.

Worked $100 fee-base example

An $80 item, $10 of buyer-paid shipping, and $10 of estimated buyer tax create a $100 fee base. At the reviewed most-category rate, the estimated eBay fee is $14.00: $13.60 plus the $0.40 per-order fee. The seller's gross revenue is $90 because buyer tax is not seller revenue. With a $30 item cost, $8 seller-paid shipping, and $2 packaging cost, estimated profit is $36.00 before promotions, insertion fees, returns, or other costs.

Insertion fees after the free allowance

The reviewed standard allowance includes up to 250 zero-insertion-fee listings per month. After that, the reviewed most-category insertion fee is $0.35 per listing. Because allowances and Store plans vary, add any applicable insertion fee under other costs.

Useful for more than fee lookup

Use target-price mode to estimate the minimum listing or offer price needed to reach a chosen profit after all entered costs.

Frequently asked questions

What percentage does eBay take on a sale?

The current Fair Calcs most-category starting estimate uses 13.6% of the fee base up to $7,500 and 2.35% of the portion above $7,500, plus a per-order fee. Actual rates vary by category, store subscription, order value, and seller status.

Does eBay charge a fee on the shipping amount?

Yes. eBay's final value fee applies to the total sale amount, which includes the buyer's paid shipping cost.

What is the eBay final value fee for a $100 fee base?

Using the current Fair Calcs starting estimate, a $100 fee base produces approximately $14.00 in fees: 13.6% plus a $0.40 per-order fee. The actual fee base and rate depend on category, shipping, buyer tax, store plan, order value, and seller status.

How does a complete $100 eBay fee-base example work?

An $80 item, $10 buyer-paid shipping, and $10 estimated buyer tax create a $100 fee base and an estimated $14.00 eBay fee. Seller gross revenue is $90 because buyer tax is not seller revenue. After a $30 item cost, $8 seller-paid shipping, and $2 packaging, estimated profit is $36.00 before promotions, insertion fees, returns, or other costs.

What if I have used my zero-insertion-fee listings?

The reviewed standard allowance includes up to 250 zero-insertion-fee listings per month, then the reviewed most-category fee is $0.35 per listing. Fair Calcs defaults this fee to zero because allowances and Store plans vary; add an applicable insertion fee under other costs.

How do I calculate my eBay profit?

Subtract item cost, shipping, packaging, eBay fees, and any promoted listing costs from the sale price. This calculator automates that math with editable fee assumptions.
