How eBay selling fees are calculated
eBay generally calculates a final value fee as a percentage of the total amount of the sale, plus a fixed per-order fee. The total can include the item price, buyer-paid shipping, sales tax, and other applicable amounts. Rates vary by marketplace, category, eBay Store subscription, seller performance, and optional services such as Promoted Listings.
Select the marketplace that matches your listing, then edit the fee rate when your category or seller account uses a different schedule. The calculator supports both Canadian and United States eBay assumptions, plus custom rates for other marketplaces.
See eBay Canada's current selling fees or your local eBay fee documentation for official rates and exceptions. This page is an independent calculator and should be treated as an estimate.
