Promoted Listings
- General (cost per sale): seller-chosen rate from 2% to 100% of the total amount of the sale; attribution window 30 days after a click; fee base: itemPrice, buyerPaidShipping, salesTax. Source (verified 2026-09-18).
- Priority (cost per click): pricing model CPC; daily budget $3.00– $1,000,000.00; monthly spend ceiling 30.4× daily budget. eBay publishes no universal CPC, click-through, conversion or auction-reserve benchmarks. Source (verified 2026-09-18).
Schedule notes
- Final value fee = category percentage of the "total amount of the sale" (item price + handling + buyer-paid shipping + sales tax + other buyer charges), calculated per item, plus one per-order fee.
- Per-order fee: $0.30 for orders of $10.00 or less, $0.40 for orders over $10.00.
- Starter Store subscribers pay the same final value fees as sellers without a Store. Basic, Premium, Anchor and Enterprise Stores pay the reduced "store" rates.
- Top Rated Plus: 10% discount on the variable final value fee (including shipping and tax portion). Does not apply to the per-order fee or to additional performance-related fees.
- Below Standard sellers: additional 6% of the total amount of the sale (7% after 4+ consecutive months). Very High "item not as described" rate: additional 5% (6% after 4+ months). Only the Below Standard fee applies when both would.
- International fee: 1.65% of the total amount of the sale when the buyer or delivery address is outside the US and eBay International Shipping is not used.
- Promoted Listings General: the seller-chosen ad rate (2%-100%) applies to the same total amount of the sale used for final value fees, charged when the promoted item sells within 30 days of a click on the ad.
- Promoted Listings Priority is cost-per-click with a target daily budget between $3 and $1,000,000; monthly spend will not exceed 30.4x the daily budget. eBay publishes no universal CPC, click-through, conversion or auction-reserve benchmarks, so Priority estimates rely entirely on seller-supplied inputs.
- Store subscriptions: Starter pays standard final value fees; Basic, Premium, Anchor and Enterprise pay the reduced store rates. Each tier includes a monthly zero-insertion-fee allowance; listings beyond it pay the per-listing insertion fee shown for that tier. Non-Store sellers get 250 zero-insertion-fee listings, then $0.35 each.
- Store modelling covers fixed-price listings in a single representative category. Auction-style allowances, the extra "select categories" allowance for mixed inventory, the $20 Heavy Equipment insertion fee and free insertion for Guitars/$150+ Athletic Shoes are not modelled.
- Optional listing upgrades, eBay Motors vehicles, eBay Live and currency-conversion charges are out of scope.

Methodology
- All arithmetic is done in integer cents; each fee component is rounded half-up independently, matching the marketplaces' own rounding.
- Margin is defined as profit divided by the item price; ROI is profit divided by total costs.
- Quantity multiplies per-item fees; the per-order fee applies once per order.
- Break-even and target-margin prices are solved to the exact cent by integer bisection over the real fee functions.
- Out of scope: eBay Motors vehicles, insertion fees and listing upgrades, Promoted Listings Priority (cost per click), currency conversion, Etsy Plus / Pattern / Square in-person fees.
