eBay Fee Calculator UK 2026

For private sellers, yes. A private seller on eBay UK pays no final value fee and no regulatory fee, and gets 300 free listings a month, then £0.35 each. On the £33.99 order above a private seller keeps £20.50 after £13.49 of costs. Business sellers pay fees, covered below.

A business seller pays a final value fee set by category, a 0.35% regulatory operating fee and a per-order fee of £0.30 up to £10, £0.40 above. On the £33.99 order above, in clothes, shoes and accessories at 11.9%, that is £4.04 final value fee, £0.40 order fee and £0.12 regulatory fee, £4.56 in all (13.4% of the sale). Category rates run from 5% to 14.9% before any price band.

It is paid by the buyer, not the seller, on purchases from UK private sellers. It is worked out on the item price: £0.10 plus 7% of the first £20, 4% up to £300, 2% up to £4,000. On a £30.00 item that is £1.90, and on a £100.00 item it is £4.70. eBay includes it in the displayed price, and it is not deducted from what you receive. Business sellers do not have it.

The business fee page states every fee excluding VAT, and says 20% VAT is added on top for VAT-registered sellers. On the £4.56 of fees above that would come to about £5.47. The calculator leaves VAT out, so add it yourself if it applies to you. Private sellers who pay no fees have nothing to add.

It is 0.35% of the order, charged to business sellers on top of the category fee. We work it out on item price plus postage, so on the £33.99 order it is £0.12. Private sellers do not pay it.

It varies a lot. Trainers pay 11.9% while the item price is under £100 and 7% from £100 up. Books, comics and magazines pay 9.9%, and mobile phones pay 6.9% to £1,000, then 3%. Home, furniture and DIY pays a £0.10 order fee instead of £0.30 on orders up to £10. The calculator lists a selected set of categories, so check eBay's page for a niche one.

Business sellers pay 6 percentage points extra on the order while their seller level is below standard. On the £33.99 order that adds £2.04, so fees rise from £4.56 to £6.60 and you keep £13.90 instead of £15.94. Tick "Below standard" in the calculator to see it for your own sale.

Yes, when a payment needs converting. It is 2.5% today for both private and business sellers, and eBay UK raises it to 2.75% on 1 Dec 2026. The calculator does not add it to the receipt, because it depends on the currencies involved.
