eBay managed payments fee
Managed payments put the small per-order fee next to final value fee - $0.30 when the total sale is $10 or less, otherwise $0.40 for the default table. This page keeps that fixed fee visible inside the full stack so it is not mistaken for a second PayPal cut. Still an estimate. Confirm thresholds and discounts in Seller Hub.
Managed payments per-order fee is the $0.30 / $0.40 line — not a second PayPal cut.
Estimate only — not your seller payout.
When to use — and when not to
When to use
Auditing why tiny sales feel fee-heavy; documenting managed payments for a SOPs sheet; comparing sub-$10 vs $11+ orders.
When not to
PayPal-worded search with double-count fear → ebay-paypal-fee-calculator. Full profit after cost → ebay-profit-calculator.
Assumptions
Per-order cutoff $10; FVF defaults apply; no separate PayPal % layered.
Worked examples
$8 total sale
Per-order $0.30 plus FVF on $8
$10.01 total sale
Per-order jumps to $0.40
Cutoff matters on cheap listings.
How it calculates
per_order = 0.30 if total_sale ≤ 10 else 0.40 total_fees = fvf + per_order (+ optional)
Stack the fee lines, then read payout (and profit when costs are entered).
- Enter the sale price and any buyer-paid shipping that applies.
- Confirm or override the rate defaults for your case.
- Add ads, storage, or costs only when they apply.
- Read the fee stack - estimate only, not the marketplace payout screen.
Common traps
- Per-order is dollars, not a second percentage.
- Buyer shipping can push a $9.50 item over the $10 cutoff.
- Do not rename this line as PayPal.
