Result guide
Read the result in the right order
The estimate separates the marketplace charge from the money left to you, so a sale price is not mistaken for profit.
- Estimated eBay fees
- The final value fee and per-order fee modeled by the selected rule set.
- Net proceeds
- Buyer payment less the modeled platform fees. Sales tax is not counted as seller revenue.
- Net profit
- Net proceeds less the item, shipping, packaging, and other costs you enter.
Method
How the calculation works
- Set the fee base. The estimate uses the item price, buyer shipping, and sales tax collected to model gross buyer payment for one item. The supported total is $7,500 or less.
- Apply the supported fee rules. Final value and per-order fees are calculated separately so each amount can be inspected. For this preview, final-value tiers are added first and then rounded to cents using half-up.
- Separate proceeds from profit. Your costs are subtracted from net proceeds, not from sales tax, to estimate profit.

Before you rely on it
Limits of this estimate
- It supports one item with buyer payment at or below $7,500, on eBay US, using the default No Store or Starter Store / most categories selection.
- It does not replace an eBay statement or provide tax, accounting, or legal advice.
- Refunds, account-specific policies, promotions, and fees not listed in the calculator can change your actual payout.
- eBay Customer Service does not provide a general rounding, round-up, or round-down formula. eBay's system and transaction details determine the final amount for each order.
2026 update
What was checked, and what it means
The published fee schedule was checked on July 11, 2026. On July 12, 2026, eBay Customer Service confirmed that its system calculates the final transaction fee for each order and does not publish a general rounding formula.
MarketCalcs therefore shows a repeatable estimate, not an attempt to reproduce eBay's statement. The two public eBay examples match the current rule within the one-item, $7,500-or-less scope and cover ordinary rounding both down and up.
Within that scope, the 13.6% first tier applied to a cent-denominated buyer payment cannot produce an exact half-cent result. This is a MarketCalcs mathematical scope conclusion, not an eBay rounding policy. An eBay transaction statement remains authoritative.
FAQ
Common questions
Why is buyer payment capped at $7,500?
The public examples and the first published fee tier support a narrower, testable estimate below that boundary. Above it, a second fee tier introduces rounding behavior that the available official material does not define, so the calculator blocks the result instead of guessing.
Why is sales tax shown if it is not my revenue?
It helps model the buyer payment used by the selected fee rule, while keeping the tax out of estimated seller profit.
Why could my actual eBay payout be different?
Your category, Store plan, promotion choices, returns, account conditions, and eBay's per-order system calculation can all affect a real transaction.
Are my entered amounts sent anywhere?
No. This preview calculates in your browser and does not require an eBay account.
