What this tool does
This tool applies eBay's fee schedule by country: a category-based final value fee on the full order total (item, shipping and sales tax or VAT), the per-order fee, and country-specific charges — the UK regulatory operating fee and international delivery fees, or Australia's Pro plans, category tiers and 1.1% international sales fee — plus an optional Promoted Listings ad rate. Change the eBay country above to switch fee tables, currency and units.
