eBay Fee Calculator — Final Value Fees by Category guide

Work out what eBay keeps from one sale: the final value fee for your category — including the cheaper rate on the portion of a large sale above the threshold — plus the fixed per-order fee, with what you receive and the effective fee %. Rates are eBay’s own published US schedule for sellers without a Store subscription, from ebay.com’s official Selling fees page — fees checked 29 October 2026.

How to use this tool

Enter the total sale amount: item price plus shipping charged to the buyer (plus handling and sales tax where they apply). eBay charges its percentage on that whole amount, not just the item price.
Pick the category. Most categories — including eBay Motors parts — are 13.6%, but books and music are 15.3%, coins and trading cards 13.25%, and watches, sneakers and handbags follow their own rules shown next to the selector.
Read the final value fee row: for tiered categories the calculator splits the sale at the threshold automatically, so only the portion above $7,500 (or above $1,000 for watches) gets the cheaper rate.
Check the per-order fee: $0.30 when the total is $10.00 or less, $0.40 above that — waived entirely for Athletic Shoes at $150 or more, where a flat 8% applies instead.
Compare what you receive and the effective fee % against your item and postage costs before you set the price — insertion is assumed free inside the 250 zero-insertion-fee listings every seller gets each month.

A worked example

A $100 sale in most categories: final value fee 13.6% × $100 = $13.60, plus the $0.40 per-order fee (the total is over $10) = $14.00 total, so you receive $86.00 — an effective 14.00%. Scale matters: on an $8,000 sale the fee is 13.6% × $7,500 = $1,020 plus only 2.35% × $500 = $11.75 on the portion over the threshold, plus $0.40 — $1,032.15 total, an effective rate of about 12.90%. And category matters: a $200 pair of sneakers at the $150+ Athletic Shoes rate pays a flat 8% = $16.00 with no per-order fee at all.

What you can do with this tool

Enter the total sale amount (price plus shipping charged) and pick from nine official fee categories, including Motors parts, watches, sneakers, handbags, coins and trading cards.
Apply the official tier split automatically — the reduced rate is charged only on the portion of the sale above the $7,500 threshold (and the watch tiers at $1,000 and $7,500).
Add the correct per-order fee — $0.30 on totals of $10.00 or less, $0.40 above — and waive it for Athletic Shoes at $150 or more, where the flat 8% rate applies.
Handle the handbags rule correctly: one flat rate on the whole sale, 15% at $2,000 or less and 9% above.

How it works

Final value fee = a category percentage of the total amount of the sale (item price + shipping collected + handling + sales tax), calculated per item, plus a per-order fee of $0.30 (total of $10.00 or less) or $0.40 (over $10). Tiered categories charge the headline rate only up to the threshold and the lower rate on the portion above it. Official basic (no-Store) rates used here: Most categories including eBay Motors Parts & Accessories 13.6% to $7,500, then 2.35%; Books & Magazines, Movies & TV and Music except Vinyl Records 15.3%, then 2.35%; Vinyl Records are excluded from that Music rate on the official page and take the standard 13.6% / 2.35%; Coins & Paper Money (except Bullion) and Trading Cards / select Collectibles 13.25%, then 2.35%; Watches, Parts & Accessories 15% on the first $1,000, 6.5% on the portion to $7,500, 3% above; Women’s Bags & Handbags a single rate on the whole sale — 15% if the total is $2,000 or less, 9% if over; Athletic Shoes 8% flat with no per-order fee when the total is $150 or more, otherwise the standard rate and per-order fee. You receive = total sale − total fees. Source: “Selling fees”, ebay.com/help/selling/fees-credits-invoices/selling-fees — fees checked 29 October 2026.

Before you rely on the result

This is the basic fee schedule for sellers without an eBay Store, which is the right default for occasional and new sellers — but it is not every seller’s schedule. An eBay Store subscription lowers most final value fee rates, and Top Rated Plus listings get a further 10% off the final value fee; neither discount is modelled. Also excluded: insertion fees past the 250 free listings a month ($0.35 each), optional listing upgrades, Promoted Listings ad rates, the 1.65% international fee, the extra final value fees for Below Standard sellers or very high “item not as described” rates, and whole-vehicle Motors fees, which are separate flat fees. eBay’s percentage is charged on the total including any sales tax, so a taxed sale costs slightly more in fees than the same untaxed total typed here.

Frequently asked questions

How much are eBay fees on a typical sale?

For most categories, 13.6% of the total sale amount plus a $0.40 per-order fee — $14.00 on a $100 sale, an effective 14%. Smaller sales cost proportionally more because the fixed per-order fee weighs heavier, and very large sales cost proportionally less because only 2.35% applies to the portion above $7,500.

What is the eBay per-order fee?

A fixed fee added to the final value fee on every order: $0.30 when the total amount of the sale is $10.00 or less, $0.40 when it is over $10.00. An order is everything one buyer checks out together with one shipping method. The one exception in this calculator: Athletic Shoes sold for $150 or more pay a flat 8% and no per-order fee.

Why do big sales have a lower effective fee rate?

Because the headline percentage only applies up to a per-item threshold — $7,500 in most categories. Above it, the rate drops to 2.35% (3% for watches past $7,500, after their 6.5% middle tier). The lower rate applies only to the portion above the threshold, never to the whole sale, and this calculator does that split for you.

Are eBay listing (insertion) fees included?

They are shown as $0.00 on purpose: every seller gets up to 250 zero-insertion-fee listings a month, and this calculator prices a sale inside that allowance. Past the allowance, insertion is $0.35 per listing (and per category), charged whether or not the item sells; Store subscriptions raise the free allowance.

Do sneakers and handbags really have different fees?

Yes — eBay publishes category-specific rules. Athletic Shoes: 8% flat and no per-order fee when the total sale is $150 or more; below $150 the standard 13.6% rate and per-order fee apply. Women’s Bags & Handbags: one rate on the whole sale — 15% if the total is $2,000 or less, 9% if it is over — which is why a handbag sold just over $2,000 can carry a smaller fee than one sold just under it.

Does eBay charge a separate payment processing fee?

No. Since eBay moved sellers to its own payments system, processing is built into the final value fee — the percentage plus per-order fee is the whole selling charge on a standard sale. Optional extras (Promoted Listings, listing upgrades, international or performance fees) are separate and are listed in the limits note on this page.
