Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate my real eBay profit?

Start with the total the buyer pays (item price plus postage), subtract eBay's final value fee (around 12.8% plus 30p), any promoted listing fees, your cost of goods, your postage cost and your packaging cost. What's left is your net profit.

What's a healthy profit margin for eBay sellers?

Most successful UK eBay sellers aim for a net margin of 20% or higher after all fees and costs. Anything under 10% leaves very little room for refunds, returns or postage surprises.

Do I need to include VAT in my profit calculation?

If you are VAT registered, you should account for the 20% VAT element on your sale price and recoverable VAT on your costs. SellerLens handles VAT breakdowns automatically once your eBay account is linked.

Why does this calculator only show one order?

It's designed to help you sanity check a single listing. For real-time profit across your whole eBay shop, SellerLens pulls every order automatically and shows daily, weekly and monthly profit charts.

Stop calculating one order at a time

SellerLens pulls every eBay order, fee and refund automatically, so you see your true profit across your whole shop, not just one item.
