Where these numbers come from

Final value fee percentages and the category thresholds are taken from eBay's own seller fee pages and cross-checked against an independent fee reference dated 2026-09-25; only values the two agree on are used as defaults here. Checked 2026-10-15.

Three figures rest on a single source and are flagged as such: the per-order fixed fee of $0.40 ($0.30 on orders of $10 or less), the 1.65% international fee, and the 6% below-standard surcharge. They are editable or clearly labelled so you can substitute eBay's current figure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does eBay take from a $50 sale?

On a $50 item with $10 buyer-paid shipping in most categories, the final value fee is 13.6% of the $60 total, $8.16, plus the per-order fee, so about $8.56 in fees and $51.44 payout. The fee is charged on the total including shipping, not just the item price.

Does eBay charge the final value fee on shipping?

Yes, the fee applies to the total amount of the sale, which includes the shipping the buyer paid. If you offered free shipping, that cost is inside your item price and is still part of the total the fee is calculated on.

What is the per-order fixed fee?

A flat fee on every order, $0.40 when the order total is above $10 and $0.30 at or below $10. This figure comes from a single reference source rather than two agreeing sources, so it is editable in the calculator above, replace it with the number on your own invoice if they differ.

Do store subscribers pay a different rate?

Yes, and this page does not model it. The rates here are the no-store / Starter Store schedule; Basic, Premium and Anchor subscriptions use a different threshold and rate that we could only confirm from one source, so rather than publish a number we cannot cross-check we have left it out. Check the fee page in your seller hub for your subscription's rate.

How is the fee calculated above the category threshold?

It is tiered, not flat. Only the portion of the total above the threshold is charged at the reduced rate, the part below it still uses the base rate. On a $9,000 sale in most categories, the first $7,500 is charged at 13.6% and only the remaining $1,500 at 2.35%.

Is this the official eBay calculator?

No. This is an independent tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by eBay Inc. It is built for estimating before you list; your seller invoice remains the authoritative record.
