eBay fees Explained

If you’ve looked up eBay fees in the past, you know it’s not a simple fee structure. With different rates based on your category, store subscription level, seller status, as well as optional upgrades and more, it’s hard to estimate exactly what your fee will be until a sale is made. Trying to calculate manually can be confusing and tedious.

Which is why Vendoo’s eBay Calculator is essential for quick and easy fee estimates. Instead of guessing or piecing it together on your own, you simply fill in a few boxes and get an instant breakdown of your fees and profits. The calculator stays updated with the latest rates, like the February 2025 final value fee increase in most categories, so you don’t have to.

Overview of eBay Fees

When you sell on eBay, there isn’t just one fee that covers your sale. Instead, there are different fees that have different purposes. Below is a brief explanation of the most common fees.

Insertion Fees: Most sellers get 250 free listings per month. After that, insertion fees are .30 per listing. This can be increased if you pay for an eBay store subscription.
Final Value Fees: Most categories have a final value fee of 13.6% of the total amount of the sale, including item price, handling charges, shipping costs collected, sale tax, and any applicable fees. This fee varies based on category and store level.
Per Order Fee: $0.30 for items $10 or less and $0.40 for orders over $10
Promoted Listings: You set this fee based on your ad rate, if you want to use this feature, which is totally optional.
International fees: eBay charges 1.65% on the total amount.

Detailed Fee Tables by Category and Store Level

Ebay’s final value fees vary widely depending on your item’s category, your store subscription level, and whether you’re a Top Rated Seller. To make it easy, we’ve broken it down into two simple tables: one for sellers without a store (or with a Starter Store), and one for sellers with a Basic Store or higher.
Note: If you’re seller rating is Top Rated Plus, you will get a 10% discount on fees.
