Although Amazon Auctions is down now, when I originally wrote this Amazon Auctions Fee Calculator a number of years ago they were alive and well. Now, if you try to visit them it just leads to an blank page and even their fees page has been taken down. Even though they're no longer in operation I think I'll still keep my calculator online if nothing more than to serve as a reference of their old fee rates. Plus the calculator is made in such a way that you are free to change the fee rates the calculator uses at any time. Even if you don't use it for Amazon Auctions, you can still type in the fee rate for any company or service that charges a fee and have your fees calculated.

When I originally wrote this BidPay Fee Calculator a number of years ago it probably would have been useful to a lot of people, but since they've discontinued operations as of December 31, 2007 it's pretty much rendered useless now.

Even if you don't use it for BidPay, you can still type in any fee rate you like to calculate or reverse calculate your fees for anything. Enjoy!
