How it works: eBay charges the final value fee and the 0.35% regulatory operating fee on the whole order total, which is the item price plus any postage the buyer pays. The per-order fee is £0.30 on orders up to £10 and £0.40 above it. VAT is divided out of the price the buyer paid, not added on top. Profit is what is left after your item cost, your own postage and every eBay fee.

Some subcategories carry their own rate — trainers over £100, mobile phones, laptops and televisions among them. Where a category drops to a lower rate above a threshold, only the portion above that threshold is charged at the lower rate. This calculator applies one flat rate, so treat it as accurate for a typical order and check eBay's page for high-value items.
Background
There is no single "eBay fee". A UK business seller pays three separate transaction charges on every sale, and two of them are easy to forget when you are pricing a listing.
This is the one that catches people out. The final value fee is a percentage of the total amount of the sale, and eBay defines that as the item price plus postage plus any applicable taxes. Sell at £24.99 with £3.99 postage in a 11.9% category and the fee is £3.45, not £2.97. Offering free postage does not avoid the charge; it moves the postage into the item price, where it is still charged at the same rate.
On top of the percentage, eBay adds a flat per-order fee. It is 30p on orders of £10.00 or less and 40p on orders above £10.00. On a £6 item that flat 30p is 5% of the sale on its own, which is why low-value listings are so much harder to make work than the headline percentage suggests. Selected Collectables and Home, Furniture & DIY listings qualify for a reduced 10p per-order fee on orders up to £10.
eBay charges a further 0.35% of the total sale amount to cover regulatory compliance costs. It is not optional and it applies to every sale, so in practice your real percentage is the category rate plus 0.35.
Every rate on eBay's fee page is quoted before VAT. If you are VAT registered you pay 20% on top of each fee and reclaim it, so your profit is unaffected. If you are not VAT registered, the VAT on those fees is a real cost you never get back — set the VAT field above to 0 and the calculator will show revenue without dividing VAT out of it.
eBay Top-rated Sellers get a 10% discount on the variable part of the final value fee for Premium Service listings, but not on the per-order fee. Sellers rated Below Standard pay an extra 6 percentage points, rising to 7 after four consecutive months. Selling to a buyer outside the UK adds an international fee of 1.05% to 2.0% depending on the destination. None of those are applied above, so adjust the percentage field if any of them apply to you.
Worth saying plainly: Re-Pricer reprices listings on the OnBuy marketplace and on Amazon. It reads eBay prices as a competitor signal, but it does not reprice eBay listings yet. This calculator is free to use either way.
Re-Pricer works out this sum on every listing you sell, on every pricing cycle, and refuses to price below the floor your costs set.
