How the calculation works
- The fee is 6.5% of the displayed listing price plus buyer-paid shipping plus gift wrap.
- For US sellers, sales tax is excluded from the transaction fee base — but payment processing still applies to the full amount the buyer pays.
- Each item sold also carries the $0.20 listing fee.
