What is the eBay final value fee?

For most US listings, the final value fee combines a category percentage of the total amount of the sale with a fixed per-order amount. The percentage and tier threshold depend on category and Store plan, so this calculator keeps the rate editable.

Does the final value fee apply to shipping?

Generally yes. eBay’s US help page says the total amount of the sale includes item price, handling, shipping collected, sales tax, and other applicable fees, with listed shipping exceptions.

What is the per-order transaction fee?

For standard US selling fees, eBay currently lists $0.30 for an order total of $10 or less and $0.40 when the order total is over $10. Special categories can differ, so the field remains editable.

What is the insertion fee?

US sellers without a Store currently receive up to 250 zero-insertion-fee listings per month. Fees after that allocation and Store allowances vary; enter the actual listing fee shown for your listing.

Does eBay charge a payment processing fee separately?

No. Since eBay moved to Managed Payments, the payment processing cost is bundled into the final value fee percentage. There is no separate PayPal or processing fee on top of the final value fee for most standard sales.

Are there additional fees for eBay store subscribers?

Store plans can change both category rates and zero-insertion allowances. Use the percentage shown in eBay’s current Store fee table rather than assuming a universal discount.
