Overview
The eBay Conversion Rate Calculator helps you measure how well your listing traffic turns into sales. Enter your visitors, sales, average order value, listing or ad cost and a benchmark rate to see your current conversion rate, estimated revenue and how your performance compares with a target.

Frequently asked questions
What does this eBay conversion rate calculator estimate?
It estimates the percentage of visitors who become buyers, along with revenue, cost per sale and the gap to a benchmark conversion rate.
How do you calculate eBay conversion rate?
Conversion rate is calculated by dividing sales by visitors and multiplying by 100.
Should I use visitors or impressions?
Visitors are usually more useful for conversion rate because they reflect people who actually reached the listing, while impressions measure how often the listing was shown.
Why is my conversion rate low?
A low conversion rate can be affected by price, shipping cost, item specifics, photos, competition, feedback, listing quality or buyer intent.
What is a good eBay conversion rate?
There is no single good rate for every seller. It depends on product category, traffic quality, price point and competition, so benchmarks can vary widely.
Does this calculator include eBay fees?
Not automatically. It only uses the numbers you enter, so include fees in your cost input if you want them reflected in cost per sale.
