eBay final value fees by category
For sellers without a Store, or with a Starter Store, the final value fee is a percentage of the total sale that depends on the category.[1]
| Category | Final value fee |
|---|---|
| Most categories (clothing, home, toys, electronics, parts) | 13.6% up to $7,500, 2.35% on the part above $7,500 |
| Books, magazines, movies and TV, music (not vinyl) | 15.3% up to $7,500, 2.35% on the part above $7,500 |
| Trading cards, comics, collectible card games | 13.25% up to $7,500, 2.35% on the part above $7,500 |
| Coins and paper money (not bullion) | 13.25% up to $7,500, 2.35% on the part above $7,500 |
| Bullion | 13.6% up to $7,500, 7% above $7,500 |
| Athletic shoes | 13.6% up to $149.99, 8% above $149.99 |
| Women's bags and handbags | 15% up to $2,000, 9% above $2,000 |
| Jewelry (not watches) | 15% up to $5,000, 9% above $5,000 |
| Watches, parts and accessories | 15% up to $1,000, 6.5% on the part up to $7,500, 3% on the part above $7,500 |
| Guitars and basses | 6.7% up to $7,500, 2.35% on the part above $7,500 |
| Heavy equipment, printing presses, food trucks | 3% up to $15,000, 0.5% on the part above $15,000 |
| NFTs | 5% |
Two kinds of thresholds"13.6% up to $7,500, then 2.35%" charges the lower rate only on the part above the threshold. For handbags, jewelry, bullion and athletic shoes the threshold decides one rate for the whole total: a $3,000 handbag pays 9% of $3,000, not 15% of the first $2,000.
eBay Store fees and reduced rates
A Basic, Premium, Anchor or Enterprise Store lowers final value fees in most categories, to 12.7% in the default group, and gives more free listings each month.[2]

| Books, movies, music | 15.3% up to $2,500, 2.35% on the part above $2,500 |

| Store | Monthly renewal | Yearly renewal (per month) |

| Basic | $27.95 | $21.95 |
| Premium | $74.95 | $59.95 |
| Anchor | $349.95 | $299.95 |
A Basic Store at $21.95 a month on yearly renewal pays for itself through the lower 12.7% rate once you sell roughly $2,400 a month in the default group (0.9 points × $2,400 ≈ $21.60), before counting its free listings.
What eBay takes on a $100 sale
On a $100 sale with no shipping or tax, eBay's fees range from about $7 to $16 depending on the category and whether you have a Store.
| Category | No Store | Basic Store |
|---|---|---|
| Most categories | $14.00 | $13.10 |
| Books, movies, music | $15.70 | $15.70 |
| Trading cards, comics, CCG | $13.65 | $12.75 |
| Athletic shoes | $14.00 | $13.10 |
| Guitars and basses | $7.10 | $7.10 |
Add shipping and the buyer's sales tax to the $100 and the fee rises with them. The eBay fee calculator does this for any price, category and shipping charge, and works out the price you need for a target profit.
