How eBay fees work
- Final value fee is charged on the total amount of the sale: item price, handling, shipping and sales tax.
- Most categories: 13.6% on the sale up to $7,500 and 2.35% on the portion above (Basic or higher Store: 12.7% up to $2,500, then 2.35%).
- The per-order fee is $0.30 for orders of $10.00 or less and $0.40 above $10.00; it is not charged on athletic shoes sold for $150 or more.
- Starter Store subscribers pay the standard (non-Store) rates; Basic, Premium, Anchor and Enterprise subscribers pay Store rates.
- Store rates apply to vinyl records at the standard Store rate (vinyl is excluded from the Store Music rate).
- Promoted Listings ad rate is charged on the same total as the final value fee.
How Etsy fees work
- Transaction fee: 6.5% of the listing price plus shipping and gift wrap. For US sellers it does not apply to sales tax.
- Payment processing (US): 3% + $0.25 on the total amount of the sale, including tax and shipping.
- Listing fee: $0.20 per listing (charged when the listing is created or renewed, including the auto-renew after each sale of a multi-quantity listing).
- Offsite Ads: 15% (or 12% for shops with $10,000+ in sales over the prior 365 days) of the order total excluding US sales tax, capped at $100 per order.
- Gift wrap and personalization charges are not separate inputs; include them in sale_price.
