If you're selling on eBay in 2026, you need to know exactly how much you'll keep after fees. eBay's fee structure changed significantly in February 2026, and most online calculators are still using outdated rates.
What Fees Does eBay Charge in 2026?
eBay charges several fees on every sale. Here's the complete breakdown:
Final Value Fee (FVF) — This is the main fee, charged as a percentage of the total sale price. It varies by category:
- Most categories: **10.9%** (UK) / **13.6%** (US)
- Electronics, cameras, phones: **9.9%** (UK)
- Home, furniture & DIY: **11.9%** (UK)
- Jewellery & watches: **12.9%** (UK)
- Business & industrial: **12.5%** (UK)
Per-order fee — A flat fee on every sale: - Orders up to £10: £0.30 - Orders over £10: £0.40
Regulatory operating fee — 0.35% in the UK and EU. Not charged in the US, Australia, or Canada.
Important: Payment processing is now included in the Final Value Fee under eBay's Managed Payments system. You don't pay a separate payment processing charge.
Private Sellers Pay ZERO Fees
Here's something most calculators miss: private sellers in the UK and Germany pay zero eBay fees on domestic sales. This has been the case since September 2024 in the UK and March 2023 in Germany.
If you're a private seller doing retail arbitrage and selling domestically, your only cost is the item itself and shipping. No Final Value Fee, no regulatory fee, no per-order fee.
How eBay Store Subscriptions Affect Fees
In the US, having a Basic store or above reduces your FVF from 13.6% to about 12.7%. In the UK, store subscriptions do NOT reduce your Final Value Fee — they only give you free listing allowances.
