See what eBay Australia takes from a sale and what you actually keep after postage and what you paid. Or work backwards to the price you need to list at.
Only if you're GST-registered: type the GST included in this sale and profit leaves it out. The calculator doesn't work it out for you. eBay's fees on this page already include GST.

eBay Australia no longer has stores. You either sell for free or you're on an eBay Pro plan, and that decides almost everything.
Sellers with an Australian address, no Pro plan and $25,000 or less in sales over the last 12 full months pay no final value fee and no per-order fee. The buyer pays eBay a Buyer Protection fee on top of your price instead.
Over $25,000, eBay moves you to Pro Starter. Pro plans pay a final value fee on the total sale (item price plus postage) by category tier on the first $4,000 per item (a lower rate above that), plus a per-order fee of 30c (Starter) or 33c (Basic and up).
eBay Australia's fees include 10% GST. Sellers who give eBay an ABN and register for tax-exempt status are charged without GST, so their fees would be a little lower than shown here.

| Per-order fee | $0.30 | $0.33 | $0.33 | $0.33 |
| Tier 1: home appliances and technology devices (phones, cameras, TVs, consoles, home audio stereos) | 13.4% | 8.03% | 7.26% | 6.82% |
| Tier 2: everything not in another tier (home & garden, toys, baby, pets, musical instruments...) | 13.4% | 11.44% | 10.34% | 9.68% |
| Tier 3: vehicle parts & accessories | 13.4% | 12.43% | 11.22% | 10.56% |

The tier rate applies to the total sale (item price plus postage and any tax) up to $4,000 per item, and the lower rate to the part above. eBay's Pro fees page lists exactly which categories are in each tier; Tier 4 includes collectables, antiques, art, coins, stamps, crafts, dolls & bears, pottery & glass, clothing, shoes & accessories, health & beauty, jewellery & watches, books, movies, music and video games, sporting goods, and tech accessories and parts (camera lenses, drones and tripods, computer components, drives and networking, phone parts). Cameras themselves and video game consoles are Tier 1. Below Standard sellers pay an extra 5.5% of the total sale (6.6% after four or more months in a row), with or without a Pro plan. There's no Top Rated fee discount in Australia.
A calculator shows one sale. Your real yearly profit also has supplies, mileage, unsold stock and returns in it, and that's where most sellers' numbers drift.
If you have an Australian address, no eBay Pro plan and $25,000 or less in sales over the previous 12 full months, eBay charges no final value fee and no per-order fee. Above that, eBay moves you to Pro Starter, which charges 13.4% of the total sale up to $4,000 per item plus 30c per order. Paid Pro plans have lower rates by category. eBay's fees include 10% GST.
Pro Starter costs $0 a month and charges 13.4% in every category. Pro Basic ($27.45 a month), Pro Featured ($82.45) and Pro Anchor ($604.95) charge between 6.82% and 13.09% depending on the plan and the category tier, plus 33c per order. Every plan charges a lower rate on the part of the total above $4,000 per item: 2.5% on Starter and 2.75% on the others.
It's a fee the buyer pays eBay when buying from Australian sellers without a Pro plan: 30c per item plus 8% of the item price up to $20, 6% of the part from $20 to $500, and 4% of the part from $500 to $5,000. It's added on top of your price, so it doesn't come out of what you receive. Pick "Free selling" in the calculator to see what your buyer pays.
On a Pro plan, yes. eBay's final value fee is calculated on the total amount of the sale, which includes the item price, postage and any applicable tax. With free selling there's no final value fee, but the international fee and the Below Standard fee are also charged on the total including postage. The Buyer Protection fee that buyers pay on free-selling items is charged on the item price only.
Only if you're Below Standard. Below Standard sellers pay an extra 5.5% of the total sale for the next calendar month, or 6.6% after four or more months in a row, with or without a Pro plan. eBay Australia doesn't give Top Rated sellers a fee discount.
Margin is profit divided by what the buyer paid you (sale price plus postage charged). ROI is profit divided by what you paid for the item. A $10 profit on a $50 sale is a 20% margin; if the item cost you $5, that's a 200% ROI. These match how Autotabit works out margin and ROI in the app.
