eBay Fee Calculator
Estimate eBay selling fees, payment processing costs, and your net profit based on sale price, shipping charged, and item costs.
Overview
This eBay Fee Calculator helps you estimate selling fees and profit from an item sale. Enter your sale price, shipping charged to the buyer, item cost, shipping cost, and your fee settings to see what you may keep after costs.
How it works
The calculator adds the item price and buyer-paid shipping to find the total collected. It then applies your entered percentage fee and flat fee to estimate selling costs. Finally, it subtracts item cost, actual shipping cost, and fees from the total collected to estimate net profit and profit margin.
