For awhile I’ve been using ebcalc.com and then I realized that the calculator on that website hasn’t been updated with the new fee schedule in a long time. I’ve been miscalculating my eBay fees all summer.
There’s another free and basic fee calculator from Michael Repzynski located here that I’ve been using.
Why use a eBay fee calculator? It’s useful if you eBay things from time to time for profit. If you’re able to buy a electronic widget for $80 that sells for eBay for $100 shipped you can use the calculator to determine that you’ll pay $9.80 in fees($6.60 in eBay fees and $3.20 in PayPal fees). That means you’ll net $12.20 minus shipping costs. However with that low of a profit margin I’d not waste my time since you have to factor in other factors such as your time and risk of buyer fraud.
