How it is calculated

Sale total = price + postage charged.

Fees = category rate × sale total + per-order fee + 0.35% regulatory fee + international fee where it applies.

Profit = sale total − fees − item cost − postage paid.

Questions

Do private sellers pay these fees?

No. UK private sellers pay no final value fee, no per-order fee and no regulatory fee on most items — see the private seller calculator.

Is VAT charged on eBay fees?

eBay fees for UK business sellers carry VAT unless the account has a valid VAT number. Add 20% to the fee total if that applies to you.

When does the currency conversion fee change?

eBay UK’s currency conversion charge rises from 2.5% to 2.75% on 1 December 2026, for sales converted from another currency.

If you run WooCommerce

If you also run a WooCommerce shop, WooFinance shows profit after fees for every order there. WooFinance is our plugin; the calculator above works the same whether you use it or not.
