How to use the eBay Insertion Fee Calculator
3 steps · Instant estimate
Estimate your insertion fees in under a minute
Start by choosing your eBay marketplace. Then pick the store subscription you have, or Non Store if you sell without one. Next, turn managed payments on or off to match your account. After that, enter how many products you list in a typical month. The calculator applies eBay’s published insertion fee rules and shows your estimated total cost right away.
Use the total to compare options before you commit. For example, switch between store plans to see whether a store lowers your insertion fees. Also, update the product count as your catalog grows. Check it before every big listing push. Or let DropFlowLister handle listing for you, so you can focus on sourcing and sales.
Frequently asked questions
An insertion fee is what eBay charges when you create a listing. It applies once you’ve used up your free listings for the month. eBay charges it per listing, per category, whether or not the item sells.
Sellers without a store get up to 250 free listings a month in most categories. After that, each listing costs $0.35. Store plans include more free listings: Starter 250, Basic 1,000, Premium 10,000, Anchor 25,000 and Enterprise 100,000. Once you pass the allowance, each plan charges a lower fee per listing.
