How eBay fees work
eBay takes about 13.25 percent of the total in most categories, plus a small fixed fee per order. Most categories sit around this rate. Some, such as jewellery, books and trainers, differ, so treat this as a close estimate and confirm your category on eBay.
Use the calculator above to turn a sale price into a clear take-home figure, then price with confidence.
How to calculate your eBay payout
Enter the sale price, and optionally what the item cost you. The calculator subtracts the fees and shows your profit and margin, so you know your break-even before you list.
Pricing from real numbers, not guesswork, is the difference between a sale that makes money and one that quietly loses it after fees and postage.
Sell faster and protect your margin on eBay
Fees set the floor on your price, but photos decide whether the item sells at all. A clean, well-lit photo lets you hold a higher price instead of discounting to shift a stale listing.
When your numbers work, make the photo match: TidyPhotosUp turns a quick phone snap into a clean, sell-ready product shot and keeps the exact item, same colour, fabric, prints and logos.
