Questions
How does eBay calculate its fee?
eBay takes a percentage of the total the buyer pays: item price, shipping and sales tax. On top of that there is a per-order fee of $0.30 for orders of $10 or less and $0.40 for larger orders.
Why is sales tax included?
eBay collects the tax and passes it to the state, but its final value fee is still calculated on the full amount including tax. That is why the tax field changes your fee.
Does an eBay Store change my fees?
Starter uses the standard rates. Basic and higher plans get lower rates in many categories, with a different threshold, so switch the store setting if you have one.
What if I am a Below Standard seller?
eBay adds 6% to the final value fee for sellers below standard. Top Rated and Above Standard sellers do not pay it.
How accurate is the shipping estimate?
It uses USPS commercial prices for the weight and distance you chose. Your real label can differ by zone, box size and surcharges, so enter your own label price when you have it.
Is this site connected to eBay?
No. It is an independent calculator built on eBay's published fee schedule. Always confirm the final numbers in your Seller Hub.
