Special Notes

• This calculator is only for calculating fees and profits when selling vehicles on eBay Motors with ebay.com in the US. If you're looking to sell non-vehicle items like parts and accessories under the eBay Motors category, please check out our normal eBay Calculator for ebay.com.
• Starting from September 2021, ebay now charges a "deposit processing fee" if you choose to list a vehicle with a deposit requirement and successfully sell the vehicle. For more details, see the corresponding section below.
• Paypal has raised their fees as of August 2nd, 2021 for domestic orders in the US.
• If you're using paypal as your payment processor and you make an international sale, the fixed portion of the paypal fee varies a little bit based on what currency the buyer uses to pay with. For simplicity's sake in this scenario, our calculator just uses the normal fixed fee from paying with US Dollars. (Note that the difference is only several cents) You can find more information about this below in the details about paypal fees section.

How are fees calculated on eBay Motors?

Details about eBay Motors Fees

Fees are much simpler when selling vehicles on eBay Motors when compared to selling anything else on ebay, which involves a final value fee that varies based on a multitude of factors.

These fees, which are mostly all fixed fees with the exception of the deposit processing fee, can be separated and organized based on the sale price, the item category chosen for the listing, and the volume of vehicles you sell in a year.

If you list up to six vehicles in a calendar year (January 1 to December 31), ebay considers you to be a low-volume seller. If you list seven or more vehicles in any calendar year, then ebay considers you to be a high-volume seller. Each time you submit a vehicle listing or relist a vehicle, ebay counts that as one listing. Once you become a high-volume seller, you'll keep that status permanently, year after year.

The selection of options and packages depend on whether you're using the quick listing tool or the advanced tool. Low-volume sellers only get access to the quick listing tool which offers a choice of listing packages while high-volume sellers also get access to that along with the advanced tool which allows them to choose individual options as opposed to selecting a listing package.

If you decide to go for a package, your ebay fees will simply be the cost of the package plus a deposit processing fee, should you decide to require a deposit on the listing.

Choice of Packages for Low-Volume Sellers

Choice of Packages for High-Volume Sellers

• High-Volume sellers can only select and use a package when using the quick listing tool as opposed to the advanced tool.
• Additionally, the basic package is not available for high-volume sellers.

If you're a high-volume seller and using the advanced tool as opposed to the quick listing tool, your fees won't be a single package cost, but instead it will be composed of an insertion fee, a listing fee, and optional listing individual upgrade fees.

• These fees only apply when using the advanced tool.

Successful Listing Fees for High-Volume Sellers

• These fees only apply when using the advanced tool.

Optional Listing Individual Upgrades

• These optional listing individual upgrades are only available when using the advanced tool.

Deposit Processing Fee

• As of September 2021, ebay now charges a fee of 2.8% + $0.30 on the deposit amount. This fee only applies if you specify for a deposit on the listing and the vehicle is successfully sold.
• If the sale is an international one, the deposit processing fee may have an additional 1.65% international fee.

Details about Paypal Fees in the US

Paypal fees are calculated based on the total sale amount (which includes shipping and sales tax, if present).

For international sales, the fixed amount varies based on the currency that the buyer uses to pay with.
