Questions people ask about this

What are eBay fees in 2026?

A final value fee of 13.6% in most categories, plus a per-order fee of $0.30 on orders up to $10 and $0.40 above. Some categories differ sharply — media is around 15.3%, guitars 6.7%, and parts of Business and Industrial as low as 3%.

Does eBay charge fees on postage?

Yes, and on sales tax. The final value fee is calculated on the total amount the buyer pays, including postage, handling and tax. Moving cost from the item price into the postage charge saves nothing.

Should I add a payment processing fee?

No. Under managed payments, processing is already inside the 13.6% final value fee. Adding a separate 2.7% plus 30 cents on top double-counts, and at least one popular eBay calculator appears to do exactly that.
