In most US categories: $13.60 final value fee (13.6%) plus the $0.40 per-order fee — $14.00 total. You keep $86.00. Jewelry and handbags over their caps drop to 9% on the whole sale instead.
For most US categories it's 13.6% of the order total the buyer pays, including shipping and applicable sales tax, then 2.35% on the amount above $7,500 — plus a per-order fee of $0.30 on orders of $10 or less and $0.40 over $10. Some categories have different rates or caps; enter buyer tax separately when applicable.
Yes. The fee base includes item price, shipping and applicable buyer tax. A $25 item with $5 shipping and $2 buyer tax has a $32 fee base. Enter tax in the separate buyer-tax field; do not include it in item price too.
A flat fee added to every sale: $0.30 on orders of $10.00 or less, $0.40 on orders over $10.00. It's waived for athletic shoes priced at $150 or more. It makes cheap items much more expensive to sell in percentage terms — 16.6% on a $10 order versus 13.6% on a $1,000 one.
Guitars and basses pay 6.7%, heavy equipment 3% (0.5% above $15,000), athletic shoes $150+ pay 8% with no per-order fee, and women's handbags drop to 9% above $2,000. Books, movies and music pay more at 15.3%, and jewelry and watches pay 15% up to $5,000.
The US schedule and categories are based on eBay's linked fee table, but promotions, store subscriptions, seller status and special programs can change your actual fee. Some categories or international sales have additional/discounted rates that this estimate may not model; confirm against your eBay account fee preview.
Yes, with market-specific limits. UK business rates vary by category, then include the 0.35% regulatory operating fee, destination-dependent international fee and VAT on modeled fees. Canada has a reduced default rate plus selected category groups. Australia models Pro Starter tiers (most categories 11.44%, other groups differ), the A$4,000 threshold and A$0.30 order fee; sellers below the Pro threshold may have different terms. Use the linked official fee tables to confirm your exact category/account.
