Fee Change Log

Rebuilt against eBay's official Store subscriptions & fees page — two real errors fixed

The old model used a single flat 13.6% rate for every seller. That rate is only correct for sellers without a Store subscription — Basic/Premium/Anchor/Enterprise subscribers pay 12.7% on most categories, about 10% less in relative terms. Since a Store subscription is common among repeat sellers, this was silently wrong for a large share of visitors, not an edge case.

The old model applied that percentage with no ceiling. eBay's real schedule brackets the rate: it applies only up to a threshold ($7,500 without a Store, $2,500 with one) — the portion of a sale above that threshold drops to 2.35%. Any item selling above the threshold was being overcharged in our own number.

A "Collectibles & Fine Art 15%" category entry from the previous version could not be corroborated against eBay's current official schedule and was removed rather than carried forward — there's no flat 15% collectibles rate in eBay's current fee structure.

Removed Depop's 10% selling fee for US/UK sellers — eliminated in 2024, calculator still charged it

Depop eliminated its 10% selling fee for US and UK sellers in 2024. As of this correction, US sellers pay $0 selling fee — the only seller-side cost is Depop Payments processing at 3.3% + $0.45 on the total transaction (item + shipping).

The 10% fee is still real, but only applies to sellers based outside the US/UK, which this calculator does not currently model separately.
