eBay charges a final value fee on the whole sale: the item, shipping, handling and sales tax. It then adds a per-order fee of $0.30 on orders of $10 or less and $0.40 on larger orders. So a $50 item with 7% tax costs about $7.68 in fees before any ads.

eBay Store rates vary by category and plan, so enter your own rate with My own rate. Also left out: insertion fees after your free listings, Below Standard surcharges, and listing upgrades. Sales tax varies by the buyer's state, and 7% is only a starting guess. Promoted listing fees are an estimate based on the total sale.
