THE MODEL, MADE CLEAR
Start with what the buyer pays, account for the platform's fee basis, then subtract each real cost once.
For covered categories, a percentage fee applies to the modeled order total—item price, buyer shipping, and applicable buyer tax—plus a per-order charge. Higher-value schedules use marginal brackets: the upper rate applies only to the amount above the threshold.
Rates vary by supported category and Store tier. Select the closest included category, or use the manual replacement when your category or transaction is outside preset coverage.
Buyer shipping is seller revenue and is included in ordinary fee bases. Buyer tax is not revenue, but may affect fees and ad calculations. Ad-rate estimates assume attribution; click ads are entered as an allocated cost.
After marketplace fees excludes inventory, postage and operating costs. Complete all three item-cost fields—or confirm zero—to see estimated profit before income tax. Margin uses sale revenue including buyer shipping; ROI uses acquisition cost.
FEES AND PROFIT EXAMPLE
A $100 clothing sale with No Store, no buyer shipping or tax, $30 acquisition, $8 postage and $2 other costs has $14.00 estimated final value fees, $86.00 after marketplace fees and $46.00 profit before income tax. Margin is 46.00% on sale revenue; acquisition ROI is 153.33%. Without entered costs, only fees and the after-fees subtotal are available.

WORK BACKWARD
Set your costs first. Then solve for the smallest item price that meets your chosen target under the same fee assumptions.
Dollar profit is a fixed amount after entered costs. Margin is profit divided by sale revenue including buyer shipping. Acquisition ROI is profit divided by acquisition cost and requires a positive item cost.
Break-even is the item price where estimated profit reaches zero. A discount plan raises the starting ask so the discounted item price can still meet the target; compare an actual offer separately.
The result says what price fits your inputs—not what buyers will pay, how quickly an item will sell, or whether a listing is competitive. Check sold comparables and demand independently.
WORKED TARGET EXAMPLES
Using $30 acquisition, $8 postage, $2 other costs, No Store clothing, zero shipping collected, tax and ads, a $20 profit goal needs a minimum item price of $69.91. At that price fees are $9.91 and profit is $20.00.
With the same assumptions, a 30% margin goal needs $71.63. Fees are $10.14 and profit is $21.49. Margin divides profit by item price plus buyer shipping, not acquisition cost.
For that same sale with 8% buyer tax and 5% general advertising: tax is $8.00, final value fees are $15.09, general ads are $5.40 and profit is $39.51. Buyer tax increases the fee base, never revenue. Advertising attribution and the shipping-tax setting are assumptions, not predictions.
SCOPE & LIMITS
Presets cover clothing and non-athletic footwear (excluding women's bags and handbags), Home & Garden, Antiques, Books & Magazines, general Toys & Hobbies (excluding collectible card games and NFTs), physical trading cards/comics, video games/accessories (excluding consoles), video game consoles, and cell phone handsets (excluding accessories). Presets represent ordinary domestic one-item orders and standard seller status.
International transactions, currency conversion, eBay Live, vehicles, NFTs, charitable fee arrangements, authentication-related shipping exceptions, returns/refunds, multi-item order allocation, and unsupported category exceptions are not automatically modeled. Some special shipping fee-basis exceptions and environmental charges are not modeled. Manual fees replace the automatic percentage and order charge; complex tiers and exceptions still need separate judgment. There is no separate payment-processing fee added by default.
Tax rules vary. Rate mode is an estimate, not a state lookup; 0% excludes tax from this scenario and does not confirm exemption. Unentered costs are excluded. Product validation bounds are safety limits, not eBay policy.

There is no single rate for every sale. The estimate depends on category, Store tier, order amount and entered adjustments. This page displays a versioned estimate for supported domestic categories; check eBay's official fee schedule for your exact listing.
In the ordinary domestic case modeled here, the fee base includes buyer shipping and applicable buyer sales tax. The rate-mode tax amount is a scenario assumption. Certain special shipping arrangements and fee-basis exceptions are outside this calculator's automatic coverage.
The preset estimate applies the selected category and Store rate to the modeled order total, using marginal brackets where applicable, then adds the applicable per-order charge. Manual mode replaces that preset percentage and fixed charge.
It can. This calculator distinguishes No Store, Starter, Basic, Premium, Anchor and Enterprise selections. Some tiers share a fee table in the supported categories. Monthly Store subscription costs are not automatically allocated to an item; enter an overhead estimate if you want to include one.
Actual charges can depend on exact category, seller status, transaction details, fee changes, returns, special shipping rules, optional services and other adjustments. Unsupported transactions and exceptions are not automatically represented here.
No separate PayPal or payment-processing fee is added by default. The referenced eBay fee schedules include payment processing in the modeled marketplace fee. Add an appropriate separate cost only if it applies to your situation.
No. It is limited to the categories and ordinary US domestic one-item assumptions described above. International sales, currency conversion, eBay Live, vehicles, NFTs, charitable arrangements, authentication shipping exceptions, refunds, multi-item allocation and other special cases require separate review.
No. It finds a price that meets your entered profit, margin or ROI target under the selected assumptions. It does not predict buyer demand, sale likelihood or a competitive listing price. Use sold comparables to assess the market.
Shipping collected is included in seller revenue and in the ordinary modeled fee base. Reverse mode solves for the item price while keeping buyer shipping as a separate amount. Enter postage you pay as a cost.
The tool searches item prices from $0.01 through $100,000. High fees, costs or targets may leave no qualifying price inside that supported range; that does not mean a target is impossible at every price.
Your target is based on your costs and selected fee assumptions, while comparable sales reflect market outcomes. If the price needed for your goal is above likely market value, revisit costs or the purchase decision rather than treating the calculated price as a recommendation.
