Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate eBay profit?

eBay profit = (item price + shipping charged) − eBay fees − item cost − real shipping cost − promoted listings spend. eBay fees are the ~13.25% final value fee plus $0.30 per order.

What is a good profit margin for eBay reselling?

Experienced resellers target 30%+ net margin or at least a 2× ROI on sourcing cost. Thin-margin flipping breaks down as soon as a return or a lost parcel appears.

What are eBay Promoted Listings fees?

Promoted Listings Standard charges your chosen ad rate (commonly 2–12%) of the total sale, but only when a buyer clicks the ad and purchases. Add it here to see the true post-ad margin.

Does this work for eBay dropshipping?

Yes — put your supplier price into the item cost field and their shipping into shipping cost. Dropshipped margins are usually 10–20%, so the fee math matters even more.

What is my eBay break-even price?

It is the sale price where profit hits zero after all eBay fees and your costs. The calculator solves it so you know your absolute price floor before accepting an offer.
