Formula
eBay's final value fee is charged on the total the buyer pays, including shipping.
Fee percentages differ by category, store subscription and seller level — no rate is assumed here.
Look up your category's current percentage and per-order fee on eBay's official seller fee pages and enter them above.
Fees = (sale price + shipping) × final value fee % + per-order fee; you receive the buyer total − fees − your other costs.
Inputs used: Currency (symbol only, never converted), Item sale price, Shipping charged to buyer, Final value fee, Per-order fixed fee, Other costs (postage, packaging, item cost).
Worked example
A $50 sale
- Buyer total = 50 + 5 = $55.

- You receive = 55 − 7.78 − 20 = $27.22.

Common questions
Why isn't the fee pre-filled?
eBay fees vary by category and change over time. Rather than show a possibly wrong number, you enter the current rate from eBay's fee pages.
Is the fee charged on shipping?
Yes — eBay's final value fee applies to the total including shipping, which is how this calculator applies it. Check the formula, example, and limitations on this page before using the result for a real finance decision.
Are promoted listings or international fees included?
Only if you add them into the percentage or the other-costs box. Check the formula, example, and limitations on this page before using the result for a real finance decision.
