Frequently asked questions
What fees does this eBay calculator assume?
For eBay, it assumes 13.6% of the total sale amount (item price plus buyer-paid shipping) for most categories, plus $0.30 per order of $10 or less and $0.40 per order over $10. The percentage also applies to sales tax collected from the buyer, which this calculator does not include. Some categories have different rates. These are planning estimates, so confirm current rates with the marketplace before you list.
Does shipping change my profit?
Yes. Shipping you pay as the seller is subtracted from your payout. If the buyer pays shipping, enter it separately so the estimate reflects it.
