eBay fee calculator
Work out your eBay final value fee, fixed order fee and take-home on a sale. Rates vary by category and country, so every field is editable — set them to match your listing.
Private sellers in most of the EU pay 0% final value fee. Business/professional sellers pay a category rate (~11–13%) plus a fixed order fee and, in some countries, a small regulatory operating fee. Switch type to preset the rate — every field stays editable.
Note: eBay final value fees depend on category, listing type and whether you have a shop subscription. Some countries add a regulatory operating fee. Verify against eBay's fee page for your site.
How eBay fees work
Private vs business is the biggest factor. Since eBay moved private sellers in most of the EU (and the UK) to a buyer-paid "Buyer Protection" model, private sellers pay 0% final value fee and no per-order fee — like Vinted. Business (professional) sellers still pay a final value fee — a category percentage of the total sale including the shipping you charge, roughly 11–13%, plus a small fixed fee per order (~€0.35) and, in some countries, a regulatory operating fee. Use the Seller type toggle above to switch between the two. If you use Promoted Listings, an additional ad rate is charged on the item price.
The formula
Fees = (price + shipping) × final value % + fixed order fee + promoted %. Net profit = price + shipping − fees − item cost. Private EU sellers set the final value fee to 0%; business sellers use their category rate (~11–13%) plus the fixed order fee — adjust the fields to your exact category and site.
A worked example
Sell an item for €60 with €5 shipping that cost you €15. The buyer pays €65. As a private EU seller the final value fee is €0, so you keep the full €65 and net about €50 (a ~77% margin). As a business seller at an 11% final value fee that's €7.15, plus a €0.35 order fee — about €7.50 in fees with no promotion, for a net profit of roughly €42.50 (~65% margin). Turn on a 5% Promoted Listings rate and eBay takes another €3 on the item price, cutting the business profit to about €39.50. Because categories, shop subscriptions and country operating fees change the percentage, set the final value field to your exact category before relying on the figure.
