Calculate eBay's final value fee and per-order fee on your sale price and shipping to see what you actually keep.
eBay charges a final value fee — 13.6% for most categories — on the total amount the buyer pays, including shipping, plus a flat per-order fee ($0.40 for orders over $10, $0.30 for orders $10 or under).
The 13.6% rate used here is the most common rate, but eBay's final value fee actually ranges from about 12.7% to 15.3% depending on category — electronics and some specialty categories run lower or higher than the standard rate.
On a $60 item with $7 shipping ($67 total): final value fee is $9.11 (13.6% of $67), plus a $0.40 per-order fee since the total is over $10. Total fees: $9.51. You receive $57.49.
Does this include eBay Store subscription fees? No — this calculates per-transaction fees only. Monthly store subscription fees (which can lower your final value fee percentage in some categories) aren't included.
Why does eBay charge fees on shipping too? eBay's final value fee applies to the total amount the buyer pays you, which includes shipping — this has been standard eBay policy since 2022.
Are there fees for listing an item? Most sellers get a monthly allowance of free listings; insertion fees only kick in beyond that allowance or for certain listing upgrades, and aren't included here.
