How do you calculate net profit when reselling on eBay?
Net profit = sale price − item cost − eBay fees − what you pay for packaging and shipping yourself. eBay fees apply to the item and the shipping you charge, and stack three lines: a final value fee, a fixed fee per order and regulatory fees. Add your local tax rate afterwards — the calculator handles the platform side.
| Fee line | eBay US (2026) | eBay France, business seller (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Final value fee | 13.6% up to $7,500, then 2.35% | 5% to 12% by category, on item + shipping |
| Fixed fee per order | $0.30 ($0.40 in some categories) | €0.35 per order |
| Regulatory fee | Category-dependent — check your fee report | 0.35% HT of the order total (0.42% TTC with VAT) |
| Private seller in the EEA | — | 0% since 1 September 2026 (buyer pays Buyer Protection) |
FAQ
What are eBay seller fees in 2026?
On eBay France, a private seller residing in the EEA pays 0% — no final value fee, no per-order fee, no regulatory fee — since 1 September 2026; the buyer pays a Buyer Protection fee instead. Business sellers pay a category-based rate of 5% to 12% of the total sale amount (item + shipping), plus €0.35 per order and regulatory fees. Check your eBay account for your exact category rate.
Does eBay charge fees on shipping?
Yes. If you charge €6.50 for shipping, eBay applies its fee percentage to €91.50 (€85 item + €6.50 shipping), not just €85. This is the most common mistake new sellers make — this calculator includes shipping in the fee base automatically.
What is the difference between private and business seller fees?
Private sellers in the EEA pay 0% since 1 September 2026 (US private sellers pay ~13.6% + the per-order fee). Business sellers get category-specific rates and access to seller tools (promotions, analytics). Select 'business account' in the calculator and enter your exact rate from your eBay seller dashboard.
Why is my eBay profit lower than the calculator estimate?
Because platform fees are only part of the cost. This calculator subtracts commission, fixed and regulatory fees on item + shipping — it even includes the shipping you charge in the fee base. Packaging, the shipping you pay yourself and your local tax rate stay on your side: add them before comparing the estimate with your bookkeeping.
Do I need a business registration to sell on eBay?
Requirements vary by country. In the EU, eBay reports via DAC7 once you exceed €2,000 in sales or 30 transactions per year. Check your local regulations — many countries require a business registration for regular reselling activity.
