What is the eBay fee on a $50 sale with shipping?

eBay sellers quick answer.

Estimate an eBay no-Store most-categories fee when shipping and sales tax are part of the fee base.

Short answer

The quick math

For a $50 eBay item, $8 buyer-paid shipping, and $4 sales tax in the fee base, the no-Store most-categories assumption estimates about $8.83 in eBay fees: 13.6% of $62 plus the $0.40 per-order fee.

Assumptions used

  • $50 item price
  • $8 buyer-paid shipping
  • $4 sales tax included in the final-value-fee base
  • 13.6% no-Store most-categories assumption
  • $0.40 per-order fee
  • No international add-on

Use it before you decide

  1. Include shipping and estimated sales tax in the eBay fee base.
  2. Adjust the percent if your category or Store subscription has a different schedule.
  3. Use the marketplace comparison calculator before cross-listing the same item.
