Quick answer
How much does eBay take from a $100 sale?
eBay takes $14.00 from a $100 sale in most categories: a 13.6% final value fee ($13.60) plus a $0.40 per-order fee, so you get $86.00 before your own costs. The fee is charged on the whole order, shipping and sales tax included, so with $10 shipping and 7% sales tax the same item costs $16.41. A Basic Store or higher lowers the rate to 12.7%, and a buyer outside the US adds 1.65%.

The basics
How eBay fees work in 2026
eBay doesn’t charge a separate payment processing fee. Almost everything it takes from a sale comes from two fees, a percentage of the total and a small fee per order, with extras for international buyers, ads and listings beyond your free allowance.
- 13.6%
Final value fee
eBay’s main fee is a percentage of the total amount of the sale: the item price plus shipping, handling and the sales tax the buyer pays. Most categories pay 13.6% on the first $7,500 of each item and 2.35% above that. Rates run from 3% for heavy equipment to 15.3% for books, movies and music.
- $0.40
Per-order fee
On top of the percentage, eBay charges $0.40 for each order over $10 and $0.30 for orders of $10 or less. It is charged once per order however many items the buyer takes. Athletic shoes that sell for $150 or more don’t pay it.
- +1.65%
International fee
When the buyer’s delivery address or registered address is outside the US, eBay adds 1.65% of the total. Ship with eBay International Shipping and the international fee isn’t charged.
- 2% to 100%
Promoted Listings
With a general campaign you choose an ad rate, and pay it only when a buyer clicks your ad and buys within 30 days. The rate is charged on the total, shipping and sales tax included, so a 5% ad rate costs more than 5% of your item price.
- 250 free
Insertion fees
Without a store you get 250 free listings a month, then each new listing costs $0.35. Store subscriptions come with more free listings and cheaper ones after that, from $0.30 on a Starter Store to $0.05 on Anchor and Enterprise.
- −10% or +6%
Seller performance
Top Rated sellers get 10% off the final value fee on Top Rated Plus listings, which need 1-day handling and 30-day free returns. The per-order fee isn’t discounted. A Below Standard seller pays an extra 6% of the total on every sale, rising to 7% after four months in a row.
Costs that aren’t charged per sale aren’t in the calculator: Store subscriptions, optional listing upgrades such as Bold or Subtitle, the $20 dispute fee if you lose a chargeback, the $2 fee for an Express payout, and eBay’s 3.25% currency conversion charge when you sell on another country’s eBay site.

| Bullion | 13.6% on sales up to $7,500, 7% over $7,500 | 7.5% on sales up to $1,500, 5% up to $10,000, 4.5% over $10,000 |

| Other musical instruments and gear | 13.6% up to $7,500, then 2.35% | 10.35% up to $2,500, then 2.35% |
| Car and truck parts and accessories | 13.6% up to $7,500, then 2.35% | 11.5% up to $1,000, then 2.35% |

| In-car technology, GPS and security | 13.6% up to $7,500, then 2.35% | 9.35% up to $1,000, then 2.35% |
| Heavy equipment, food trucks, printing presses | 3% up to $15,000, then 0.5% | 2.5% up to $15,000, then 0.5% |
A “up to” rate applies to that slice of the sale only, so a $10,000 sale in most categories pays 13.6% on the first $7,500 and 2.35% on the rest. Where a row says “on sales up to”, the one rate covers the whole sale: a $3,000 handbag pays 9% on all $3,000.
eBay Stores
eBay Store plans and what they include
A Basic Store or higher cuts the final value fee in most categories, by the most in electronics, and every store tier comes with more free listings. Whether one pays for itself depends on how much you sell; the yearly estimate in the calculator works it out for your orders.
| Store | Yearly plan | Monthly plan | Free fixed-price listings | Each listing after that |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No store | – | – | 250 a month | $0.35 |
| Starter | $4.95 a month | $7.95 | 250 a month | $0.30 |
| Basic | $21.95 a month | $27.95 | 1,000, plus 10,000 in select categories | $0.25 |
| Premium | $59.95 a month | $74.95 | 10,000, plus 50,000 in select categories | $0.10 |
| Anchor | $299.95 a month | $349.95 | 25,000, plus 75,000 in select categories | $0.05 |
| Enterprise | $2,999.95 a month | Not offered | 100,000, plus 100,000 in select categories | $0.05 |
On the yearly plan you still pay monthly, at the lower price. The select categories for extra free listings are trading cards and collectible card games, collectibles, music, books and magazines, movies and TV, video games, stamps, and crafts and party supplies.

Do the maths
Example: eBay fees on a $100 sale
The fees
Fees = 13.6% of the total + $0.40 per order
A $100 item sells with $10 shipping to a buyer who pays 7% sales tax, so the total is $117.70. eBay charges 13.6% of that ($16.01) plus $0.40: $16.41. It pays out $93.59, the $110 you charged minus its fees. The sales tax goes to the state.
The profit
Profit = what eBay pays out − item cost − shipping label − packaging
If the item cost you $40 and the label $9, the profit is $44.59, a 40.5% margin on the $110 order. If the sale came through Promoted Listings at a 6% ad rate, eBay takes another $7.06 and the profit falls to $37.53.

How to price your eBay listings for profit
- Price from the total, not the item. eBay’s percentage covers shipping and sales tax as well as the item, so moving cost from the price into shipping doesn’t lower your fees. Compare your payout with your total costs.
- Know your Best Offer floor. The break-even price in the calculator is the lowest offer you can accept without losing money on the sale. Set your auto-decline just above it.
- Check whether a store pays for itself. A Basic Store cuts the rate from 13.6% to 12.7% in most categories and to as little as 7.35% on laptops and consoles. Enter your orders a month to see if the savings cover the subscription.
- Set ad rates with your margin in mind. Use “What to charge” with Promoted Listings switched on and the calculator shows the price you need at each ad rate to still hit your profit.
- Earn Top Rated Plus. Same-day or 1-day handling and 30-day free returns get Top Rated sellers 10% off the final value fee, which is worth about 1.4% of every sale.
- Bundle cheap items. The per-order fee is 3% of a $10 order. Lots and multi-packs spread it, and your own packing costs, over more revenue.
FAQ
eBay fee questions
Short answers to what sellers ask most. Something missing or looks wrong? Tell us and we’ll check it.
How much does eBay take from a $100 sale?
In most categories eBay takes $14.00 from a $100 sale with free shipping: a 13.6% final value fee ($13.60) and a $0.40 per-order fee. You get $86.00 before your own costs. If the buyer also pays for shipping or sales tax, the 13.6% applies to those too, so the fee goes up.
How do I calculate eBay fees?
Add up the total amount of the sale: the item price, shipping, handling and the sales tax the buyer pays. Multiply it by your category’s final value fee rate (13.6% in most categories, on up to $7,500 per item) and add the per-order fee: $0.40, or $0.30 on orders of $10 or less. Add 1.65% if the buyer is outside the US, and your ad rate if the sale came through Promoted Listings.
Does eBay charge fees on shipping?
Yes. The final value fee is a percentage of the total amount of the sale, which includes the shipping you charge. Free shipping with a higher price costs the same in fees as a lower price plus shipping. If you also offer faster or international shipping, eBay uses your cheapest domestic option.
Does eBay charge fees on sales tax?
Yes, in the US and Canada. eBay collects sales tax from the buyer and pays it to the state or province, but it works out its final value fee and Promoted Listings fee on the total including the tax. With 7% sales tax, a $100 sale pays about $0.95 more in final value fees.
What is the eBay per-order fee?
It is a fixed fee charged once per order on top of the final value fee: $0.40 on orders over $10 and $0.30 on orders of $10 or less. An order is everything one buyer pays for at checkout with the same shipping method. Athletic shoes that sell for $150 or more are the only category that doesn’t pay it.
What is eBay’s international fee?
US sellers pay 1.65% of the total when the buyer’s delivery address or registered address is outside the US. It isn’t charged when you ship an eligible item with eBay International Shipping. UK business sellers pay 1.05% to 2%, Canadian sellers 0.4% for US buyers and 1% elsewhere, and Australian Pro sellers 1.1%.
Are eBay fees lower with an eBay Store?
In most categories, yes, from the Basic Store up. Basic, Premium, Anchor and Enterprise subscribers pay 12.7% instead of 13.6% in most categories, 9.35% on phones, cameras and most electronics, and 7.35% on laptops, desktops, tablets and game consoles, though the lower rate stops at $2,500 per item instead of $7,500. A Starter Store pays the same rates as no store. A Basic Store costs $21.95 a month on a yearly plan.
How do Promoted Listings fees work?
With a general campaign you choose an ad rate between 2% and 100%. If a buyer clicks your ad and buys within 30 days, eBay charges that percentage of the total sale amount, shipping and sales tax included, on top of the final value fee. If the item sells without an ad click, there is no ad fee.
How much does eBay charge to sell sneakers?
Men’s and women’s athletic shoes that sell for $150 or more pay 8% with no per-order fee, or 7% with a Basic Store or higher. Under $150 they pay 13.6% (12.7% with a store) plus the per-order fee. The $150 is measured on the total, so shipping and sales tax count towards it.
Does eBay refund its fees if I refund a buyer?
eBay credits the percentage part of the final value fee in proportion to the refund: all of it on a full refund, a fifth of it on a 20% refund. The $0.30 or $0.40 per-order fee comes back only when the buyer asked to cancel, there was an address problem, you fully refunded a change-of-mind return, or you used Send refund to refund every item plus the original shipping. It isn’t credited on partial refunds, on cancellations for items you can’t send, or on refunds for items that arrived damaged or not as described.
Is selling on eBay free in the UK and Australia?
For some sellers, yes. UK-based private sellers pay no final value fee or per-order fee, except on vehicles. In Australia, sellers with no Pro plan and A$25,000 or less in sales over the past 12 months also sell without final value fees, and their buyers pay eBay a Buyer Protection fee instead. Both still pay a 3% international fee on overseas sales.
