About the eBay Fee Calculator

For most categories eBay charges 13.6% of the total sale (item, shipping and sales tax) up to $7,500, plus 2.35% on any amount above, and a per-order fee of $0.40 (or $0.30 for orders of $10 or less). Some categories (such as athletic shoes over $150, guitars and bullion) have different rates; Store subscribers get lower rates in many categories, and Below Standard sellers pay more.

The formula

Fee = 13.6% × min(total, $7,500) + 2.35% × excess + $0.40
