EXAMPLE: THE DEMO STORE'S CAMP STOVE · ADD YOUR CATEGORY'S FINAL VALUE FEE
Profit per unit: 20.60, margin 45.8%, fees 0.40.
The eBay profit formula.
Total sale = price + shipping charged + sales tax
eBay fees = final value fee % × total sale + per-order fee + ad rate % × total sale + store subscription ÷ items sold a month
Profit per item = price + shipping charged − item cost − your shipping cost − eBay fees − other costs
Margin = profit per item ÷ (price + shipping charged)
Sales tax sits in the total sale because eBay works out its percentage fees on the total amount of the sale, which its selling fees page says includes the item price, shipping charged and sales tax. The tax itself is not your revenue, so it is left out of profit and margin. Each fee is rounded to the cent.
The break-even price is the lowest selling price, to the cent, at which this item does not lose money, with everything else held the same. On a sale above $7,500 for one item, eBay charges a lower rate on the part over $7,500; this calculator applies one rate to the whole sale.
The example is the demo store's camp stove: a selling price of 45.00 and a landed cost of 24.00, less the 0.40 per-order fee, leave 20.60, a 45.8% margin. Enter your category's final value fee to see what is left after it. If you only know the supplier price, work out the landed cost first with the landed cost calculator. For other marketplaces, use the marketplace profit calculator.
