Question 1

What is eBay's final value fee?

Accepted Answer

The final value fee is eBay's commission on a completed sale, calculated as a percentage of the total sale amount (item price + shipping). For most non-Store sellers it is around 13.25% in the US, capped at $0.30 minimum. Some categories like vehicles, real estate, and select others have different rates.

Question 2

Do eBay Store subscribers get lower fees?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Starter, Basic, Premium, Anchor and Enterprise Store subscribers receive reduced final value fees (often around 10-12%) and additional free monthly listings. The discount depends on the Store tier and category.

Question 3

What is the eBay managed payments fee?

Accepted Answer

Since eBay moved to managed payments, the payment processing cost is typically bundled into the final value fee. For international sales there may be an additional cross-border fee of around 1.65% of the sale amount.

Question 4

Is there a final value fee cap?

Accepted Answer

In the US, the final value fee on most categories is capped at $250 per item for non-motors categories (the cap may differ by marketplace and category). The calculator does not enforce the cap — check eBay's published fee schedule.
