eBay PayPal fee calculator
Many sellers still search PayPal fees on eBay. For typical US managed payments, payment processing is already inside eBay's fee path - you should not add a separate PayPal percentage on top of final value fee and per-order fee. This page runs the same fee stack and shows that warning up front so the legacy query does not produce a fake double cut.
US managed payments already includes payment processing in the fee stack. Do not add a separate PayPal % on top for typical sales.
Estimate only — not your seller payout.
When to use — and when not to
When to use
You typed PayPal out of habit; checking an old spreadsheet that still has a PayPal column; onboarding a helper who learned fees in 2018.
When not to
You truly still have a non-managed edge case confirmed in Hub - model Hub, not this default. Want per-order focus only → ebay-managed-payments-fee.
Assumptions
US managed payments: FVF + per-order (+ optional promoted/intl). No separate PayPal % layered by default.
Worked examples
$50 sale, most categories, no ads
≈ $7.20 total fees - not $7.20 plus another ~2.9% PayPal
Double-counting PayPal overstates take.
$9 sale
Uses $0.30 per-order line inside managed payments
How it calculates
fees = fvf + per_order (+ ads/intl) // do not add paypal_pct for typical US managed payments
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
- Managed payments ≠ PayPal-on-top for typical US sales.
- International and promoted are separate toggles - not PayPal.
- If Hub shows a different structure, Hub wins.
