Updated with the latest eBay fees as of June 27, 2010  

This spreadsheet helps you calculate how much it would cost to sell on eBay. It includes versions for:

eBay.com (USA) -- View Screenshots
eBay.ca (Canada) -- View Screenshots
eBay.com.au (Australia) -- View Screenshots
eBay.co.uk (United Kingdom) -- View Screenshots
eBay.ie (Ireland) -- View Screenshots

With just a few clicks you can instantly determine exactly how much you are paying in fees and exactly how much you are making in profit every time you sell on eBay. All of the possible ways of selling on eBay are included. It's not only a calculator, it's a fee-comparison tool. You can use it to compare the different listing formats to see which is the best (most profitable) format to list in for any item you may be selling. It also gives you the ability to reverse calculate your fees. That means you tell the calculator the amount you want to receive after fees and it tells you what to charge to receive that amount.

You can keep a record of your sales using the included Sales Log spreadsheet or print out a chart showing what your fees would be for common amounts using the included eBay Fees Chart. You can also reverse calculate price for a large number of items at once using the included Markup spreadsheet. If eBay ever changes their fees in the future (or you want to calculate the fees for another service) you can edit all of the fee rates used by the spreadsheet using the included Edit Fee Rates worksheet.

After releasing my eBay UK spreadsheet a few days ago I've been getting a lot of good feedback on it. So far it's been working great for UK sellers selling on eBay.co.uk, but for U.S. sellers who happen to be selling on the eBay UK site, calculating fees and profit in their native currency (US Dollars) starts to get a little confusing.

Before today I had two versions of my eBay spreadsheet available, a US version and an Australian version. But today I'm releasing 3 new versions, a version for eBay Canada, a version for eBay UK, and a version for eBay Ireland. Which makes 5 versions in total now:

eBay.com (USA) (USD) -- View Screenshots
eBay.ca (Canada) (CAD) -- View Screenshots
eBay.com.au (Australia) (AUD) -- View Screenshots
eBay.co.uk (United Kingdom) (GBP) -- View Screenshots
eBay.ie (Ireland) (EUR) -- View Screenshots

Each of which has been updated with the latest, most up-to-date eBay and PayPal fee rates as of June 27, 2010. I'm also changing my policy. Before I would sell each spreadsheet separately, but now they're all sold together as one product, one unit. You only have to pay for one and you can download them all. Existing customers can download the new versions from my Download Area. New customers can purchase the spreadsheet for the first time here:

Today I've updated my eBay Sales Log spreadsheet to version 2.1. Here's what's new...

Fixed a bug that was causing Final Value Fees to be calculated incorrectly
There was a bug in version 2.0 that was causing Final Value Fees to be incorrectly calculated for Fixed Price Format items for eBay Store Owners. This only affected eBay Store owners and only affected Fixed Price Format items. Version 2.0 was incorrectly using a Final Value Fee rate of 9.0% when it should have been using 12.0%. This has been fixed in verison 2.1. In most casees, this bug would have caused your Final Value Fees to be off by about $0.50 to $1.00. Thank you to the person who discovered this bug and e-mailed me.

Being the author of a PayPal calculator I'm often e-mailed with questions about PayPal. One question I was asked recently is if I had a vector version of the PayPal logo. The person said they were reading the Wikipedia article on PayPal and the logo provided didn't look "quite right" and they were looking for a better one. I looked into my files and it turns out I do have one I and I'm providing it here in case any else would like it. The logo is in SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format so you will need a vector image editing program to use it.

Updated April 10, 2010 7:23PM
Today I'm releasing version 8 of my eBay fee calculator which uses the new eBay fee rates as of March 30, 2010. As many of you know I released a preliminary version of this on March 30, 2010 and I've spent much of my free time since then programming in fixes, changes, and adjustments in response to your feedback. This new version should be working much better for everyone now. To make sure you're viewing the latest version hold SHIFT and press Reload in your web browser. Here's what's new in this version.
