Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate my profit on eBay?
To calculate your eBay profit, start with the total amount the buyer pays (item price + shipping charged). Then subtract eBay's final value fee (typically 13.25% + $0.30), the payment processing fee (2.35% + $0.25 for Managed Payments), your item cost, and your actual shipping cost. The remaining amount is your net profit.
What is a good profit margin for eBay sellers?
A healthy profit margin for eBay sellers is typically between 20% and 40% after all fees and costs. New sellers should target at least 15% to cover unexpected expenses. High-volume sellers working with wholesale or liquidation inventory often achieve 30-50% margins, while retail arbitrage sellers may see 15-25%.
What are eBay's current seller fees?
eBay charges a final value fee on the total sale amount (item price + shipping). For most categories, the rate is 13.25% plus $0.30 per order. Some categories have different rates: Books and Media at 14.6%, Clothing at 12.35%, Electronics at 14.95%, and specialty items like guitars and watches have lower rates. eBay Managed Payments adds a 2.35% + $0.25 processing fee.
Does eBay charge fees on shipping?
Yes. eBay calculates the final value fee on the total amount the buyer pays, which includes both the item price and shipping. Whether you charge shipping separately or offer "free shipping" by building it into the item price, the fee percentage applies to the full amount. This is important to factor into your pricing strategy.
How do promoted listings affect my eBay profit?
Promoted Listings Standard charges an additional percentage (typically 2-20%) of the total sale amount when a buyer clicks on your promoted listing and completes a purchase. This fee is on top of the regular final value fee and payment processing fee. While promoted listings can increase your visibility and sales volume, they reduce your per-item profit margin, so you should factor this cost into your pricing.
