How much are eBay selling fees?

For most categories, eBay takes 13.6% of the sale up to $7,500 and 2.35% above it, plus a $0.40 order fee on orders over $10. The sale includes the shipping and sales tax your buyer pays. On a $35 item with $8 shipping, eBay takes $6.25.

How we worked it out

$35.00 + $8.00 shipping = $43.00 your buyer pays
13.6% of $43.00 (most categories) = $5.85 final value fee
Order over $10.00: $0.40 order fee
$5.85 + $0.40 = $6.25 eBay takes
$43.00 − $6.25 − $10.00 item − $7.00 label = $19.75 you keep
List at $41.07 to keep $25.00 profit. Any lower price leaves you less.

eBay's fee for each category

For sellers without an eBay Store, most categories pay 13.6%, and some pay less or more. A few charge one rate on the whole sale once it passes a set price, so a higher-priced sale can pay a lower rate.

Common questions

How much does eBay take from a $100 sale?

On a $100 sale with free shipping in most categories, eBay takes $14.00: 13.6% of the sale plus the $0.40 order fee. If your buyer pays sales tax, eBay's percentage applies to that too.

What are final value fees on eBay?

The final value fee is eBay's percentage of the whole sale, including shipping and sales tax. In most categories it is 13.6% up to $7,500 and 2.35% on the part above.

What are insertion fees on eBay?

An insertion fee is what eBay charges to list an item. You get 250 free listings a month; after that, each one costs $0.35.

How do I avoid eBay fees?

In most categories you can't avoid the final value fee or the order fee on a sale. You can keep the rest down by staying within your 250 free listings a month and not paying for promoted listings.

Is it cheaper to sell on eBay or Etsy?

On a $35 item with $8 shipping, a $10 cost and a $7 label, you keep $19.75 on eBay and $21.46 on Etsy. Etsy's Offsite Ads fee, when a sale comes from one of its ads, can change that.
