How eBay fees work in 2026
For most sellers, eBay takes two fees on every sale:
- Final value fee — a percentage of the total the buyer pays (item + shipping + tax). Most categories are 13.6% without a Store subscription, dropping to 12.7% with a Basic or higher Store. Books, DVDs, movies and music are 15.3%.
- Per-order fee — $0.30 on orders of $10 or less, $0.40 above that.
Payment processing is already included in the final value fee — there's no separate Stripe/PayPal charge. Promoted Listings are optional and only cost you when the ad produces the sale.
Questions
Is a Store subscription worth it?
A Basic Store trims the final value fee by about 0.9 points (13.6% → 12.7%) and gives 1,000 free listings. If you sell steadily each month, the fee savings and free listings usually cover the subscription. Moving above Basic doesn't lower the fee further for most categories.
Does eBay charge fees on shipping?
Yes — the final value fee applies to the shipping the buyer pays, so charging $5 shipping or adding $5 to the price costs you the same in fees.
What about the regulatory operating fee?
eBay adds a small regulatory operating fee (around 0.35%) in some regions. It's minor, so this calculator leaves it out; add a little to your target margin if it applies to you.
