eBay Final Value Fee Calculator
See the exact final value fee eBay charges on a sale — the category percentage plus the fixed per-order fee.
Short answer
eBay's final value fee is a percentage of the total sale (item price plus shipping): about 13.6% for most US categories up to $7,500, then 2.35% above that, plus a $0.30–$0.40 per-order fee. Payment processing is already included. Enter your item price and shipping to see the final value fee and what you keep after it.

How the final value fee is tiered
The final value fee isn't flat across the whole sale. For most categories you pay 13.6% on the part of the total sale up to $7,500, and just 2.35% on any amount above $7,500 — so high-value items are charged less on the top slice. There's also a fixed per-order fee of $0.30 on orders of $10 or less and $0.40 above. The calculator applies both automatically.
How we calculate this
Every number on this page comes from eBay's standard US managed-payments fee structure, applied step by step:
- Sale total. item price plus the shipping you charge the buyer. eBay's fee applies to both, so shipping is part of the base.
- Final value fee. the category rate (13.6% for most US categories) on the sale total up to $7,500, then 2.35% on the portion above $7,500. Payment processing is already included in this fee.
- Per-order fee. a fixed $0.30 on orders of $10 or less, otherwise $0.40, charged once per order.
- Optional fees. a Promoted Listings ad fee (your chosen ad rate × the sale) if you advertise, and a 1.65% international fee when the buyer is outside the US.
- Net proceeds & profit. sale total minus all eBay fees is your net proceeds; subtract your item cost and shipping label cost to get profit.
Assumptions
- Standard US managed-payments selling — Store subscriptions and below-standard seller status can change the rate.
- The 13.6% rate covers most categories; some (vehicles, high-value, and a few others) differ, so the rate is adjustable.
- The final value fee includes payment processing; there is no separate PayPal fee anymore.
- Educational estimates only — check eBay's current fee pages for your exact category and account.

How much does eBay take from a sale?+
For most US categories, eBay charges a final value fee of about 13.6% of the total sale — item price plus shipping — up to $7,500, then 2.35% on anything above that, plus a fixed per-order fee of $0.30 (orders $10 or less) or $0.40. So on a $100 item with $10 shipping you'd pay roughly $15 in fees and keep about $95. Payment processing is already included in that fee. Enter your numbers above to see the exact split.
Does eBay charge fees on shipping?+
Yes. eBay's final value fee applies to the total amount of the sale, which includes the shipping you charge the buyer — not just the item price. That's why offering 'free shipping' (building the cost into the item price) doesn't avoid the fee. The calculator adds your shipping charge to the item price before applying the fee, so the estimate matches what eBay actually bills.
What is the eBay final value fee?+
The final value fee is eBay's main selling fee: a percentage of the total sale charged when your item sells. For most categories it's 13.6% up to $7,500 per item and 2.35% above that, though rates vary by category — some, like a few high-value or vehicle categories, differ. It replaced the old separate listing and PayPal fees; payment processing is now rolled into this one fee.
How do I calculate my eBay profit?+
Start with your sale total (item + shipping), subtract eBay's fees (final value fee + per-order fee + any ad fee), then subtract what you paid for the item and your shipping label cost. What's left is your profit. Enter your item cost and label cost above and the calculator does this for you, flagging any sale that loses money after fees.
What are Promoted Listings fees?+
Promoted Listings is eBay's optional advertising: you set an ad rate, and if a buyer clicks your promoted listing and buys within a window, eBay charges that percentage of the sale on top of the final value fee. Rates are typically 2%–15%. It's optional, so leave the ad rate at 0 if you don't promote — toggle it on above to see how it changes your take-home.
Are these eBay fee figures exact?+
They're close estimates for standard US managed-payments selling. The biggest variable is the category rate — 13.6% covers most categories, but some differ, so you can enter your exact rate. Store subscriptions, below-standard seller status, international sales, and category-specific rules can all change the total. Check eBay's current fee pages for your category, and use this to plan.
