What will eBay actually take, and what do you actually keep? Enter your numbers — fees, Promoted Listings, and your costs — and see real profit per sale.
Estimates for standard US sellers without a Store subscription. Rates change and vary by category tier — verify on eBay's official fee page.
Easy List's AI turns a photo into a complete eBay listing — title, item specifics, description, and a price suggestion — and publishes it for you. Free plan: 15 listings/month.
Try Easy List freeeBay charges a final value fee — a percentage of the total the buyer pays (item + shipping), plus a small per-order fee. The percentage depends on category: most categories run around 13.6%, clothing runs higher, and a few niches (like sneakers over $150) run lower.
Promoted Listings add the ad rate you chose on top, charged only when the promotion leads to the sale. And remember your own costs: what you paid for the item, postage, and packaging materials — the calculator above folds all of it into one profit number.
Two easy ways to protect margin: price shipping honestly (you pay fees on shipping charged too), and list more inventory — fees only ever apply to things that actually sell.
