Short version: eBay takes a percentage of almost all sales, ranging from 1.5% to 15%. eBay's final value fees are often the largest single cost for sellers. They're taken as a percentage of the amount actually charged to the customer. That includes the item price, the shipping cost, and any sales tax.
Does eBay always take 10 %?
eBay will take 10% of the sale price of any item you successfully sell, including postage, and you'll pay extra if your buyer pays via PayPal, so be sure to factor this in. See our eBay Selling Tricks guide for more tips.
