Not seller revenue; included only in fee bases specified by eBay.

The per-order fee is charged once. Enter the combined order amounts above; use one calculation per item when different item prices or category thresholds apply. For eBay UK private listings, quantity splits the Buyer Protection variable fee across equal item prices while charging its flat portion once.

eBay account-specific fees

Enter the fee that applies after your zero-insertion-fee allowance, including a second category when relevant.

Enter the combined subtitle, bold, gallery, reserve or visibility charges attributable to this listing.

US sellers outside eligible eBay International Shipping commonly see 1.65%; enter the rate shown for your transaction.

Enter an exact amount because the 3% US conversion charge applies to eBay’s base exchange rate, not necessarily the sale total shown here.

Current assumptions
  • The fee base includes item price, shipping charged to the buyer and sales tax unless the selected official group states a price-only condition.
  • Payment processing is included in the eBay final value fee; PayPal is not added.
  • Confirm that the item is not in: Vehicles, real estate and the special fee groups listed below.
  • Whole vehicles, Real Estate and Classified Ads use separate fee models and are not silently mapped to this schedule.
  • Insertion fees, optional listing upgrades, international fees, currency conversion and seller-performance surcharges are included only when their dedicated inputs are non-zero.
Why this may differ from a platform statement

Check the selected seller profile and category, account-specific or experimental pricing, tax on fees, currency conversion, shipping labels, promotions, refunds and the platform’s per-line rounding. FeeTrail shows user overrides in the warnings above.

Reproducible examples

Check the fee trail against simple inputs

At $65 with $3.90 sales tax, 13.6% rounds to $9.37 and the over-$10 order fee is $0.40: $9.77 total seller fees.

At exactly $10 with no tax or shipping, 13.6% is $1.36 and the threshold order fee is $0.30: $1.66 total.

Common questions

Assumptions that change the answer

Does eBay still charge a separate PayPal fee?

No for the sale modeled here. eBay handles payment processing, so FeeTrail does not add a separate PayPal processing fee.

Does eBay charge fees on shipping and sales tax?

For this schedule, the final value fee base includes item price, shipping charged to the buyer and sales tax collected by eBay.

Why might my statement differ?

Choose the matching category and Store plan. Optional upgrades, international delivery, currency conversion and seller-performance surcharges remain account-specific adjustments.
