Why eBay's fees look small until you sum them
eBay's headline fee is the Final Value Fee — typically 13.25% in Most Categories on the order total (item + shipping). On top of that, eBay added a fixed $0.30 per-order fee in 2022 that catches a lot of sellers off guard. Add the optional $0.35 insertion fee (free for the first 250 listings/month on most accounts) and the math tightens fast on sub-$10 items.
The most expensive mistake sellers make is charging real shipping cost to the buyer and assuming it's pass-through. It's not. eBay charges FVF on shipping you collect, so a $10 shipping charge costs you ~$1.30 in FVF on top of the actual shipping. Free shipping (priced into the item) is often more profitable than charged shipping once you do the math.
Category FVF varies — 3% for vehicles, 6.35% for clothing/shoes/accessories, 12.55% for Books, 13.25% Most Categories. Always pick the right category rate or your projection is off by 30%+.
