eBay's final value fee applies to shipping too.
Optional. Only charged if the sale comes from your ad.
eBay also charges its final value fee on sales tax collected from the buyer, which nudges your effective rate slightly higher than shown here. Payment processing is already included — there is no separate fee.
JellySell crosslists your items to eBay, Etsy, Mercari, Depop, Grailed, and Vinted in one click — and manages orders, messages, and shipping from one dashboard.
eBay charges one main fee when your item sells: the final value fee. For most categories it’s 13.6% of the total amount of the sale — and that total includes the shipping you charge the buyer, not just the item price. A handful of categories break from the standard rate: books, movies and music run 15.3%, women’s handbags and jewelry run 15%, authenticated sneakers over $150 drop to 8%, and guitars are just 6.7%.
On top of the percentage, eBay adds a flat per-order fee: $0.30 on orders of $10 or less, $0.40 on orders over $10 (sneakers $150+ skip this fee). There’s no separate payment processing fee — eBay rolled processing into the final value fee under managed payments. Your first 250 listings each month are free; after that, insertion fees are $0.35 per listing.
Optional costs can stack on top: Promoted Listings (you set the ad rate, typically 2–10%, charged only when the ad drives the sale), and a 6% penalty on final value fees if your account falls Below Standard.
In most categories, eBay takes $14.00 from a $100 sale: $13.60 (13.6% final value fee) plus a $0.40 per-order fee. Category rates vary from 6.7% (guitars) to 15.3% (books and media).
Yes. The final value fee is calculated on the total amount of the sale, which includes the shipping you charge the buyer. Offering "free shipping" with a higher item price results in the same fees as charging shipping separately.
No. Since moving to managed payments, eBay includes payment processing in the final value fee. Unlike Etsy or Depop, there is no separate percentage stacked on top.
Keep your account Above Standard (Below Standard adds 6%), list in the correct lowest-fee category, use Promoted Listings selectively, and consider a Store subscription if you sell enough volume — Basic Stores and above trim final value fees in many categories.
Estimates only. Marketplace fees change and can vary by account, region, category, promotions, and seller performance. Always confirm current rates on eBay's official fee page before pricing inventory.
