Step-by-step working
  1. Sale total for fees = item + shipping = $60.00
  2. Final value fee = $60.00 × 13.6% = $8.16
  3. Per-order fee = $0.40 (order over $10.00)
  4. Total eBay fees = $8.56
  5. Profit = $60.00 − fees $8.56 − costs $32.00 = $19.44

Formula

Profit = item price + shipping charged − eBay fees − item cost − postage − packaging

Margin = profit ÷ (item price + shipping) · ROI = profit ÷ item cost

Examples

  • Sold for 60 with free shipping, item cost 22, label 9, packaging 1, default eBay.com rates: fees 8.56, profit ≈ 19.44 (32.4% margin).

Frequently asked questions

Where do the default rates come from?

From eBay’s official selling fees pages for eBay.com, for most categories with no store subscription, checked on 27 October 2026. Some categories (for example certain clothing, collectibles, jewellery or business equipment) and store subscribers pay different rates, so change the fields to match your case.

Should I offer free shipping?

Free shipping can help listings sell, but you pay the postage. Use the eBay Shipping Calculator to compare charging for shipping with building it into the price.
