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.

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.

Since releasing my web-based 2009 eBay Fee Calculator a few weeks ago I thought it would be a good idea to make a list of every other eBay fee calculator I could find just to see what else is out there and to show people all of their available options. Next to each calculator, I've also noted down who wrote it, when it was last updated, and which sections of eBay it supports. To make it easier to find calculators with up-to-date fee rates, I've also sorted them by date with the most recently updated ones at the top. If you know of an eBay fee calculator that's not on this list, leave a comment on this page and I'll add it.

Today I've just finished with the redesign of my eBay Fee Calculator. This is a free online tool I've made to allow people to easily calculate what their total eBay and PayPal fees would be to sell an item on eBay. You can also use it to reverse calculate your eBay fees to determine what amount you would need to sell your item for to receive the amount you want after fees. To learn more about selling on eBay, you can read eBay's help page How do I sell on eBay? or visit their official fees page for more info.
