Details About eBay Seller Fees

eBay's fundamental seller fee is known as the final value fee. This fee is assessed on the total sale amount, encompassing shipping costs and sales tax. Its calculation varies based on three key factors:

• the item category

• whether you operate an eBay store

• your chosen subscription plan

Refer to the tables below for a breakdown of this fee across different scenarios. Additionally, note that the final value fee may undergo further modifications based on your seller status. Understanding and optimizing this fee structure is vital for maximizing profits and competitiveness on eBay.

Top Rated Plus Sellers

eBay offers sellers with Top Rated Plus status a 10% discount on the percentage portion of the final value fee. This discount is typically applied at the end of the month when you receive your invoice. It's important to note that eBay.com in the US has a unique distinction compared to other eBay regions: "Top Rated Plus status is separate from regular Top Rated status. Only sellers with "Top Rated Plus" status qualify for the 10% discount on eBay.com in the U.S.; the standard "Top Rated" level does not. To achieve Top Rated status, your account must have a history of successful sales with minimal problems. Sellers with Top Rated status can then qualify for Top Rated Plus status by offering fast shipping and a generous return policy.

There are additional terms and conditions associated with this discount; please refer to eBay's documentation for full details. If you select the Top Rated Plus option in our calculator, we assume you've verified your eligibility. It's important to understand that this discount is applied to your fees, not the amount of the sale. For example, if your original fee was 11%, the 10% Top Rated Plus discount wouldn't reduce your fee to 1%. Instead, the discount would be calculated as 10% of your fee and then subtracted from your total fees.

Sellers failing to meet performance expectations

On the other hand, sellers who are rated "Below Standard" (or sometimes referred to by eBay as "Sellers Not Meeting Performance Expectations") incur a penalty of an additional 6% fee on top of their existing final value fee. Unlike the Top Rated Plus discount, this penalty is calculated based on the total value of the sale.

Another example of sellers not meeting performance expectations is when they receive "Item not as described" return requests that are marked as "Very High" in their service metrics dashboard within their Seller Hub interface on eBay. Sellers with this status will be charged an additional 5% of final value fees for sales in the affected categories in the following calendar month.

It's worth noting that if an account has both of the above "Below Expectations" statuses, eBay's documentation specifically states that only the "Below Standard" penalty will apply, as it happens to be the higher of the two penalties.

More About Fees

In addition, there are additional fees associated with selling internationally, promoting your listings, potential sales tax processing, and various miscellaneous selling fees, such as making your listing title bold. Our calculator is equipped to handle all of these aspects as well. Just make sure you check the appropriate boxes and enter your values. For more information on these fees, please see the detail sections below.

Note that the final value fee is only applied when you successfully complete a sale.

International Fee

An extra 1.65% eBay selling fee applies to international sales, calculated based on the "total sale amount," inclusive of shipping and sales tax.

Promoted Listings Fee

The Promoted Listings fee is determined by the listing rate selected by the seller. This rate is a percentage of the total sale amount, including shipping and sales tax, and is calculated similarly to the Final Value Fee. Importantly, this fee is incurred only if a buyer clicks on the promoted listing and completes the purchase of the promoted item within 30 days of that click. In addition, the fee is based on the ad rate in effect at the time the buyer last clicked on the promoted listing.

Other Miscellaneous Fees

For details about other miscellaneous selling fees, such as optional listing upgrade fees, please check on ebay's website.

Notes about Sales Tax

Sales tax rates vary by state and in some cases by city. Because of this variability, we do not automatically provide this information. However, we do offer a comprehensive database where you can access the latest sales tax rates. In addition, our calculator includes a field for you to enter the rate manually, if desired.

For sales tax rates in specific locations, please visit our Free Sales Tax Calculator to access our comprehensive database.

Sales tax is usually charged on the total amount of the sale, which includes both the sale price of the item and the shipping charge. However, some states exempt sales tax on shipping charges. Our calculator has a field that allows you to specify whether you want the sales tax to apply to the total revenue or just the item price.

eBay automatically collects sales tax from buyers and remits it on behalf of sellers in most states. Therefore, buyers bear the tax burden, which does not directly affect your profit. However, it may indirectly affect your profit because the total sale amount used to calculate fees sometimes includes sales tax.
