eBay Selling Price Calculator
Estimate your eBay fees, profit and profit margin based on the item price, shipping charged, costs and selling fees.
Overview
Use this eBay Selling Price Calculator to estimate how much profit you may make on a sale after selling fees, item cost and shipping. Enter the item price, shipping charged to the buyer, your actual shipping cost and the fee rates that apply to your listing.
How it works
The calculator adds the item price and shipping charged to find the gross sale amount. It then applies your final value fee percentage and fixed fee to estimate selling fees. Your item cost, actual shipping cost and fees are added together, and that total is subtracted from the gross sale amount to estimate net profit. Profit margin is then calculated as profit divided by the gross sale amount.
