How eBay fees are worked out
- eBay adds up the item price, the shipping the buyer paid and the sales tax, then applies your category's final value fee to that total.
- Most categories charge the rate on the first $7,500 and 2.35% on anything above it. Some categories, such as jewelry and handbags, use one rate for the whole sale based on its size.
- The per-order fee is $0.40, or $0.30 when the order total is $10 or less. Athletic shoes of $150 or more pay 8% and no per-order fee.
- Promoted Listings (general) charge the ad rate you chose on the same total amount, only when the sale comes through the ad.

Know the sale price before you work out the fees
Fees are a share of the sale, so the number that matters most is what the item will actually sell for. The free eBay price history chart and PSA 10 card price checker show real completed sales, and the eBay Sold Listings API returns up to 240 sold prices per call so your repricer or spreadsheet can run this math on every item automatically.
