eBayFee Calculator

As of November 2026, eBay's main US fee is the final value fee: a percentage of the whole sale, which includes the item, shipping and sales tax, plus a per-order fee of $0.40 ($0.30 on orders of $10 or less). Common rates without a Store:

• Most categories: 13.6% up to $7,500, then 2.35% on the rest.
• Books, movies, TV and music: 15.3% up to $7,500.
• Trading cards and comics: 13.25% up to $7,500.
• Jewellery and watches: 15% up to $5,000, then 9%.
• Women's bags and handbags: 15% up to $2,000, then 9%.
• Athletic shoes of $150 or more: 8%, with no per-order fee.

A Basic Store or higher lowers the rate in most categories: 12.7% up to $2,500 in most categories, 12.35% for trading cards, 13% for jewellery and handbags, and 7% for athletic shoes of $150 or more. Books and media stay at 15.3%. A Starter Store pays the same rates as no Store.

A Store has a monthly subscription, so the lower rate only pays off once you sell enough. On $1,000 a month in most categories, the 0.9-point saving is $9, which won't cover a Basic subscription on its own; the extra free listings often matter more.

Fee = (item + shipping + tax) × category rate + $0.40. On a $50 item with $8 shipping in most categories, that's $58 × 13.6% + $0.40 = $8.29, so you keep $49.71. With a Basic Store it's $7.77, and you keep $50.23.

Promoted Listings add your ad rate on the same total when a sale comes from an ad, and buyers outside the US add 1.65% unless you use eBay International Shipping.

You get 250 free listings a month, then $0.35 per listing in most categories. A Below Standard seller rating adds 6% to the final value fee, so good service directly lowers your fees. Some categories, like electronics with a Store, have their own rates, so check eBay's fees page for yours.
