Fee figures are verified from eBay's fee table as reported by Taxomate (updated October 2026). The $50 example is calculated: 13.6% × $58 + $0.40. Store subscriptions, promoted listings and seller performance change the real number. Check eBay's current fee table before you price.

The fee is only part of what leaks

Shipping you undercharged, promoted-listing spend, returns and the fee on the sales tax all come out of the same sale. The Fix Kit for marketplace sellers walks each one.

That's gross. What do you keep?

The number above is before taxes, before what comes out of your check, before the bills that eat it. TrueNET draws the line on what you really keep, free, in about a minute.
