Price below this and you lose money. Undercut reprices you against competitors 24/7 and never crosses this floor.
Typical standard (non-store) rates, mid-2026. eBay applies final value fees to item price + shipping + sales tax; store subscriptions, Top Rated discounts, category tiers, and the 1.65% international fee change your exact rate.

When your item sells, eBay charges a final value fee: a percentage of the total amount the buyer pays — item price, shipping, and sales tax combined. For most categories the standard rate is around 13.6%, but it ranges from about 3% (select business & industrial) to 15.3% (books, movies & music). On top of that, every order carries a fixed per-order fee of $0.30 (orders ≤ $10) or $0.40 (orders over $10).
If you use Promoted Listings, your chosen ad rate is charged on the sale as well, and international sales add roughly 1.65%. A “13.6% fee” listing can easily cost 16–18% all-in — which is why sellers who price by gut feel often make less than they think, and why undercutting a competitor by too much can silently push a sale below break-even.
The calculator above computes that break-even — your price floor. It is the single most important number in repricing: compete as hard as you want above it, never cross it. That is exactly how Undercut reprices: it beats the lowest competitor automatically, 24/7, and stops dead at the floor you set per item. Read the full method in our price-floor guide, or work a full deal end-to-end in the repricing profit calculator.

How much does eBay take per sale in 2026?
For most categories, standard (non-store) sellers pay a final value fee of about 13.6% of the total sale — item price plus shipping plus sales tax — plus a per-order fee of $0.30 on orders of $10 or less, or $0.40 on orders over $10. Category rates range from roughly 3% to 15.3%, and optional Promoted Listings add your chosen ad rate on top.
Does eBay charge fees on shipping?
Yes. The final value fee applies to the total amount of the sale, which includes the shipping you charge the buyer and the sales tax eBay collects — not just the item price. Charging high shipping does not avoid fees.
What is the per-order fixed fee?
On top of the percentage fee, eBay charges a flat fee per order: $0.30 for orders of $10 or less and $0.40 for orders over $10. On low-priced items this flat fee meaningfully raises your effective fee percentage.
How do I calculate my break-even price on eBay?
Your break-even price is the price where revenue minus eBay fees minus item and shipping costs equals zero: (item cost + shipping cost + per-order fee) ÷ (1 − fee rate − ad rate) − shipping charged. Selling below it loses money on every sale — that number is exactly the per-item price floor a repricer should never cross.
Do eBay Store subscriptions lower fees?
Yes, in many categories Store subscribers pay a slightly lower final value fee rate, and Top Rated Sellers can earn discounts. This calculator uses typical standard rates — edit the fee percentage field to match your exact rate from eBay’s fee page.
