How eBay fees work
When you sell an item on eBay, eBay takes a final value fee — a percentage of the total amount the buyer pays, including shipping and sales tax. For most categories this is 13.25%, plus a fixed $0.40 per order. There's no separate payment-processing fee because eBay now manages payments itself, so the final value fee is the whole story for a typical sale.
eBay fee breakdown
| Final value fee | 13.25% of item + shipping (most categories) |
|---|---|
| Per-order fee | $0.40 per order |
| Payment processing | Included in the final value fee |
Worked example
Say you sell an item for $100.00 with $8.00 shipping on eBay:
| Sale total | $108.00 |
|---|---|
| eBay fee | −$14.71 |
| You keep | $93.29 |
That's $14.71 in total fees, or about 13.6% of the sale. Use the calculator above for your own numbers.
How to reduce your eBay fees
- Opening an eBay Store subscription lowers final value fees in many categories if you sell regularly.
- The $0.40 per-order fee is charged once per order, so bundling multiple items into a single order for one buyer saves on fixed fees.
- Fees apply to the shipping you charge, so building shipping into the item price rarely helps — the percentage lands either way.
- Some categories (like trading cards or certain electronics) have lower or higher rates — check eBay's category fee table for your exact rate.
