eBay selling fees calculator
Selling fees are the lines that hit when an item sells - not insertion fees after free allotments, and not a vibe percent. This page stacks final value fee and per-order fee on the total sale, with room for promoted listings if you use them. Same engine as the main eBay fee calculator, angled for the selling-fees search. Override Hub rates when your Store discount differs.
Estimate only — not your seller payout.
When to use — and when not to
When to use
Building a simple selling-fees cheat sheet for a weekend booth; checking whether promoted listings still leave room; teaching why free shipping is not free after FVF.
When not to
You only want the FVF story without the full stack → ebay-final-value-fee-calculator. Need take-home after cost → ebay-profit-calculator.
Assumptions
US business seller defaults; FVF on item + buyer shipping; per-order $0.30/$0.40; promoted % optional; rates as of table date.
Worked examples
$35 item + $6 shipping, 13.6%, no ads
FVF on $41 ≈ $5.58 + $0.40 → selling fees ≈ $5.98
Same sale with 8% promoted
Adds ≈ $3.28 promoted on the $41 base
Promoted is optional - leave 0 for organic.
How it calculates
selling_fees = fvf + per_order + promoted(+ intl) payout_before_cost = total_sale − selling_fees
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
- Insertion fees are not the main path here.
- Promoted listings are not free marketing in this stack.
- Category overrides beat the most-categories default.

FAQ
On a sold order, usually final value fee plus the managed-payments per-order fee, and promoted listings if that sale was attributed. Insertion fees after free allotments are not the main path on this page.
