This spreadsheet helps you calculate how much it would cost to sell on eBay. You simply enter the price of your item and you can see what your fees and profit would be in any of eBay's listing formats including Auction Format, "List 5 Free" Format, Fixed Price Format, Store Inventory Format, and Classified Ad Format. For advanced users, there is a way for you to reverse calculate your fees to determine what amount to charge for your item (or what to charge for S&H) to receive the amount you want after fees. You can keep a record of your sales using the included Sales Log worksheet or print out a chart showing what your fees would be for common amounts using the included Fees Chart worksheet. You can also reverse calculate price or S&H for a large number of items at once using bonus "Markup" worksheet. 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.
