Formula Used in the Calculator
- Fee Basis:
Total Fee Basis = Item Price + Shipping Charged to Buyer + Buyer Sales Tax - Total eBay Fees:
Total eBay Fees = (Fee Basis × Variable Commission Rate) + Fixed Order Fee + Promoted Ad Fee + International Fee - Bank Payout:
eBay Bank Payout = (Item Price + Shipping Charged to Buyer) - Total eBay Fees - Net Profit:
Net Profit = eBay Bank Payout - Item Cost (COGS) - Shipping Label Cost - Packaging
Real Case Scenario 1: Selling a Used Jacket (Casual Seller)
- Item Selling Price: $50.00

- Item Cost (COGS): $10.00
- Shipping Label Cost: $8.00
- Packaging: $1.00
- Account Type: No Store (13.6% commission rate)
Calculation Breakdown:
- Total Buyer Pays (Fee Basis): $50.00 + $10.00 = $60.00
- eBay Commission (13.6%): $60.00 × 13.6% = $8.16
- Fixed Order Fee: +$0.40
- Total eBay Fees: $8.16 + $0.40 = $8.56
- What eBay Sends to Your Bank: ($50.00 + $10.00) – $8.56 = $51.44
- Your Total Costs: $10.00 + $8.00 + $1.00 = $19.00
