FAQ.
eBay questions.
What percentage does eBay charge sellers in 2026?
eBay's standard US final value fee is 13.35% on most categories, plus a $0.40 per-order surcharge. UK sellers pay 12.9% + £0.30 on domestic transactions, and EU sellers around 11% + €0.35. The full schedule auto-loads when you pick a currency above.
Does eBay charge the final value fee on shipping?
Yes. The final value fee applies to the total amount the buyer pays, which includes the shipping you charge them. Our calculator applies the fee to sale price + shipping by default — turn shipping off to see the item-only number.
Do eBay Store subscription tiers save money?
Not on every price point. Store subscribers get a lower final value fee, but the monthly subscription only pays off at meaningful monthly volume. Use this calculator to compare your effective rate against the standard tier.
What is eBay's effective fee rate for a $50 sale?
On the US standard schedule, a $50 sale with $8 shipping costs you 13.35% × $58 = $7.74 + $0.40 = $8.14 in fees. That's an effective 14.0% of gross revenue, or 16.3% of the sale price alone.
eBay final value fee breakdown by category
The eBay fee calculator above uses the standard 13.35% final value fee for most US categories, which covers the majority of sellers on the platform. Books, movies, music (≤ $100), heavy equipment, and a handful of other categories carry lower rates, while select collectibles and sneakers sit at higher tiers. The calculator's default is the most common schedule — if your category has a custom rate, let us know and we'll add a toggle.
eBay seller fees in the UK, Canada & Australia
Switch the currency above to GBP, CAD, or AUD and the calculator swaps to that market's published final value fee plus per-order surcharge. UK domestic is 12.9% + £0.30, Canada is 14.25% + C$0.50, and Australia is 12.4% + A$0.40. All three schedules include payment processing in the final value fee, so there is no separate transaction surcharge to model.
