Fee schedules change often on both platforms and vary further by sub-category, seller performance level, and promotions in play. This tool uses representative 2026 UK rates for common categories as a fast estimate before you list — always cross-check your exact category on eBay's official fee page and Amazon's official pricing page before setting a price you're relying on.
Working out eBay fees or Amazon seller fees before you list something is easy to skip — until the final value fee, the per-order fee, and payment processing all come off the top and the sale is worth far less than expected. This eBay fee calculator and Amazon fee calculator combined shows exactly what each platform actually takes for a specific item, side by side, so you can see which one nets you more before you decide where to list, rather than finding out after the sale's gone through.
It covers both business and private seller rates on eBay, and both Individual and Professional selling plans on Amazon, since the fee structure genuinely differs depending on which type of account you're running.
Business sellers don't pay a final value fee unless the item actually sells. Private sellers pay no final value fee at all under current rules — the buyer covers a separate protection fee instead.
eBay's final value fee is generally lower across most categories, but Amazon's referral fee varies more by category — electronics sit lower, clothing and books often sit at 15%. The only way to know which is cheaper for a specific item is to compare both directly, which is exactly what this tool does.
No — private sellers currently pay no final value fee, while business sellers do. This tool lets you toggle between the two so you're comparing the rate that actually applies to your account type.
