About eBay Fee Calculator

Marketplace final value fees are charged on the total the buyer pays, including shipping, plus a fixed amount per order. That is why charging separately for shipping does not avoid the fee on it.

Formula

Marketplace fees

Fee = (price + shipping charged) × final value rate + fixed fee per order

Worked example

Frequently Asked Questions

Is shipping really fee-bearing?

Yes on most marketplaces. The fee applies to the full amount the buyer pays, however it is itemised.

Do fees vary by category?

Considerably. Media and electronics typically attract lower rates than fashion or collectables.
