Version 8.0 (April 2010 eBay fee rates)
Version 7.0 (2009 eBay fee rates)
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.

Spreadsheet Updates
Updated with the new Spring 2010 eBay fees 
Today I'm releasing version 2.0 of my eBay spreadsheet with support for the new eBay fees as of March 30, 2010. Because we're in the midst of an eBay fee change when you download the spreadsheet you will be given two versions. One uses the fee rates prior to March 30, 2010 and one uses the fee rates from March 30, 2010 onwards. The new eBay fees become effective at midnight Pacific time on March 30, 2010. Here's what's new in version 2.0.

Over the last few weeks I've been making numerous upgrades and improvements to my eBay spreadsheet and today I'm glad to finally announce the release of version 1.5. Here's what's new in this version.
Support for older versions of Excel
Prior to version 1.5 I had an OpenOffice.org version and an Excel 2007 version. That means the spreadsheet could be opened in either OpenOffice.org (any platform) or Excel 2007 (PC) or Excel 2008 (Mac). However, I received numerous e-mails from sellers who told me they couldn't open the spreadsheet because they were still using Excel 97-2003. These older versions of Excel have technical limitations and couldn't understand my long advanced formulas. In version 1.5, I re-wrote a lot of the formulas using a different method and now the spreadsheet will work perfectly in any version of Excel. It will also now work on any spreadsheet program on any type of computer that can open an .XLS file (for instance, Numbers for the Mac). When you download the spreadsheet you will now be given 3 versions:
You can choose to use whichever version you feel most comfortable with and delete the other two.

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.
