What this tool does
This version applies eBay.co.uk business-seller fees to one order in pounds sterling: the category final value fee on the total amount of the sale (item, postage and VAT), the per-order fee of £0.40 (or £0.30 on orders of £10 or less), the 0.35% regulatory operating fee, an international fee when the delivery address is outside the UK, and any Promoted Listings ad rate. Private sellers sell for free.
How to use the eBay Fee Calculator

- Enter the sale price and the postage you charged.
- Add any VAT included in the order, since eBay's fee applies to it.
- Pick the seller type and the category, plus the delivery destination for the international fee.
- Read the total fees and your payout.
