United States currency and assumptions

United States eBay planning separates final-value and per-order assumptions from category exceptions, promoted listings, fulfillment costs, and state and local sales-tax or marketplace-collection rules.

USD is used for this eBay worksheet; store level, category tier, seller status, listing upgrades, and international adjustments are included only when explicitly shown.

eBay US default scope and USD 100 example

The simple US most-categories estimate applies 13.6% up to USD 7,500, 2.35% to the portion above that threshold, and a USD 0.30 or USD 0.40 per-order fee based on the displayed order condition.

For a USD 100.00 total amount of sale, the estimate is USD 14.00 in fees and USD 86.00 after fees. Category exceptions, Store subscriptions, listing upgrades, promoted listings, seller-status adjustments, refunds, and disputes remain outside this default.

General fee components and calculator-mode guidance remain on the eBay fee calculator overview. This country page focuses on the maintained US rule, USD example, and exclusions shown here for eBay.

When to use this calculator

FAQ

How are seller fees calculated?

eBay fees for this United States page are estimated from the gross sale amount, the displayed fixed charge, optional international or conversion charges, and any custom fee amount you enter.

Why can the actual fee differ from this estimate?

eBay results for United States can differ when account pricing, payment method, buyer location, disputes, refunds, tax handling, subscriptions, promotions, or custom terms change the charge.

Does this calculator include international fees?

International fees can vary by marketplace and buyer location. They are not assumed unless reviewed data or your custom fee amount accounts for them.

Does this calculator include currency conversion?

Currency conversion can depend on listing marketplace and payment flow. Use a custom fee override if a checked conversion fee applies.

Does this calculator include VAT or sales tax?

eBay US estimates do not treat sales tax as verified platform-fee data. Do not use the result for US tax filing. Confirm sales tax and income reporting with official sources or a qualified professional.

Can I enter my own custom fee rate?

Yes. On the United States page, the eBay override accepts a percentage, fixed amount, international percentage, conversion percentage, extra manual fee, and note.

Should I use this result for tax filing?

No. Do not use the eBay estimate for United States tax filing; consult official authorities or a qualified professional for compliance decisions.

Does eBay still use PayPal?

Buyers can still choose PayPal at eBay checkout, but eBay manages the end-to-end payments process and deducts eBay selling fees from the seller's proceeds. This eBay estimate therefore does not add a separate PayPal processing fee. Check the order and account statement if a separate off-eBay service applies.

Is this eBay selling-fee estimate operated by eBay?

No. This independently maintained eBay calculator for United States uses the platform name only to identify the modeled fee rule and has no endorsement or sponsorship relationship.
