Overview

This eBay phone resale calculator helps you estimate whether flipping a phone is likely to be profitable. Enter the amount you paid, the expected selling price, estimated eBay and payment fees, shipping cost and any extra expenses to see your likely profit and margin.

How it works

The calculator starts with your expected eBay sale price, then subtracts the purchase price, platform fees, payment processing fees, shipping cost and any other expenses. Net profit is the amount left over after all those costs are deducted. Profit margin shows profit as a percentage of the selling price, while ROI shows profit relative to what you originally paid for the phone.
