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 and ads.
- 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.
- $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.

| 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.
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.
FAQ
eBay fee questions
Short answers to what sellers ask most. Something missing or looks wrong? Tell us and we’ll check it.
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) and add the per-order fee: $0.40, or $0.30 on orders of $10 or less. Add 1.65% for a buyer outside the US and your ad rate for a Promoted Listings sale.
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.
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.
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 on some full refunds, such as when the buyer asked to cancel or you refunded a change-of-mind return in full. It isn’t credited on partial refunds or on items that arrived damaged or not as described.
