eBay US Final Value Fees (FVF) Explained

When selling on eBay US, the Final Value Fee (FVF) is a crucial cost to consider. This fee is charged when an item sells and is calculated as a percentage of the total sale amount, plus a per-order fee:

• $0.30 per order for orders $10 or less
• $0.40 per order for orders above $10

The total sale amount includes the item price, handling charges, shipping charges (some exceptions apply), and any applicable taxes or fees.

Factors That Affect eBay Final Value Fees

• eBay Store Subscription - Having an eBay Store reduces FVF percentages and provides more free listings. This helps sellers save on fees in the long run. eBay store selling fees
• Seller Performance Level - Sellers rated as Below Standard incur an extra 6% fee on sales, while Top Rated Sellers receive a 10% discount on FVFs for qualifying listings. eBay seller performance level
• Item Not as Described Returns - If your return rate for "Item Not as Described" is considered Very High in a specific category, an additional 5% FVF applies to sales in that category.
• International Sales - If you’re not using eBay International Shipping, an additional 1.65% fee applies when selling to international buyers.

eBay Sales Tax Collection

eBay automatically collects sales tax when selling to US buyers. The tax amount is collected on top of your sold price and does not affect your profit. eBay sales tax collection

Because tax rates vary by state, our calculator includes an optional ‘Sales Tax’ field where you can input an estimated percentage for reference.

eBay Promoted Listings Fees

Promoted Listings increase your product’s visibility on eBay search results and pages. These ads are charged in two ways:

• Promoted Listings General (Cost-Per-Sale) - You set a percentage rate, and eBay charges this fee only when a buyer clicks your ad and purchases within 30 days.
• Promoted Listings Priority (Cost-Per-Click) - You pay for each click on your listing, with access to premium ad placements and advanced targeting.

Charity Donations & Fee Reductions

If you sell items benefiting a registered eBay charity, eBay reduces the final value fee in proportion to the donation percentage. For example, if 50% of your sale is donated, the fee is halved.
