eBay Fee questions
How much does eBay take from a sale?
For most categories, eBay charges a final value fee of 13.6% of the total sale, including shipping, plus $0.40 per order ($0.30 if the total is $10 or less). On a $50 sale that is about $7.20.
Does eBay charge fees on shipping?
Yes. The final value fee is calculated on the total amount the buyer pays, including shipping and handling.
Do I pay less with an eBay Store?
Store subscribers pay a lower final value fee in most categories (12.7% instead of 13.6% in many), but the Store has a monthly cost. It pays off once your monthly sales are high enough to cover the subscription.
What is eBay's international fee?
When the buyer's address is outside your country, eBay adds an international fee of 1.65% of the total for US sellers.
Do Promoted Listings cost extra?
Yes. With Promoted Listings General, you pay the ad rate you choose (a percentage of the sale) only when a buyer clicks your ad and buys within 30 days. Add it in the calculator's ad field.
