what percentage does eBay keep of each sale?

Question

I am considering opening an ebay store. I understand the monthly fee/subscription, but how much of each sale does eBay keep?

Hi @phi334

Another thing to understand is that, as a new seller, you will not be able to make use of some of the perks that a Store owner has ... specifically, the number and cost of items you can list for free.

It is better to wait until you have passed eBay's 'probation period' before signing up for a Store. That will take at least 3 months from the time you start selling.

Best of luck to you!

There is one thing you must understand:
The Final Value Fee (FVF) percentage that eBay keeps is a percentage of the total amount paid by the buyer.

That total amount includes the price of the item, the shipping price shown in the listing, any handling price that you add into your shipping policy, and usually some sales taxes.

Hi @phi334

For most categories, it's 13.6% of the total sale (price + shipping + sales tax) plus a per order fee of $0.30 - $0.40. But some categories have higher or lower fees. Here's a link to the fee structure:
