eBay Listing Conversion Calculator
Estimate your eBay listing conversion rate, sales volume, revenue and fees based on views, price and selling costs.
Overview
The eBay Listing Conversion Calculator helps you estimate how well your listing turns views into sales and what those sales may be worth after fees and item costs. Enter your listing views, items sold, average sale price, shipping charged and fee assumptions to get a quick picture of conversion and profitability.
How it works
The calculator divides items sold by listing views to estimate conversion rate. It then multiplies sold units by the average order value, including shipping charged, to estimate gross revenue. From there, it subtracts percentage-based fees, fixed per-order fees and average item costs to estimate profit and profit margin. This gives you a simple way to compare listing performance and pricing assumptions.

Frequently asked questions
What does this calculator estimate?
It estimates your listing conversion rate, gross revenue, selling fees, profit and profit margin based on your inputs.
How is eBay conversion rate calculated?
It is calculated as items sold divided by listing views, multiplied by 100 to show a percentage.
Should shipping charged to the buyer be included?
If your marketplace fees apply to shipping and buyers pay shipping separately, including it can give a more realistic revenue and fee estimate.
Does this calculator include returns or refunds?
No. It gives a simplified estimate and does not automatically account for returns, refunds, damaged items or cancelled orders.
Can I use this for promoted listings?
You can, but promoted listing fees and advertising costs are not included unless you build them into your item cost or fee assumptions separately.
Why is profit different from payout?
Profit here is estimated gross revenue minus selling fees and item cost. Your actual payout may also be affected by taxes, shipping labels, packaging and other expenses.
