eBay fee and profit calculator
Estimate what you keep after eBay fees, shipping and item cost. Choose a Store plan and fee category, then inspect why each fee applies.
Search by product, official fee group or eBay Category ID. Special fee models are never mapped to “Most categories”.
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.

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.
