Special Notes

• This calculator is only for calculating fees and profits when selling vehicles on eBay Motors with ebay.ie in Ireland. 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.ie.
• * Paypal organizes their international regions into different groups. They are Canada & US, Europe I, Europe II, Northern Europe, and the Rest of the World. You can find a list of regions in each region group below in the details about paypal fees section.
• If you're using paypal as your payment processor and you make an international sale, both the percentage portion and the fixed portion of the paypal fee will vary based on the location of the buyer. The percentage portion will vary based on the region group while the fixed portion 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 euros. (Note that the difference is only several pence) You can find more information about this below in the details about paypal fees section.

Notes about VAT in Ireland

• VAT (Value Added Tax) applies to everything including fees and revenue. The default VAT rate is 23%. For more information about VAT rates, please visit Ireland's official government website.
• eBay includes VAT in their fees and tables for private sellers while not including VAT in their fees and tables for business sellers.
• As a result of this, if you specify that you are a business seller in our calculator by setting the seller type to "Business Seller", a field will show up where you can enter the VAT rate you would like to apply onto your ebay fees. The field is simply called "VAT on Fees". Simply enter a number into the field and our calculator will add the specified VAT onto your ebay fees.
• There seems to be some ambiguity about whether or not VAT applies on paypal fees. Some sources indicate that paypal is a financial service and thus exempt. Our calculator assumes that this is the case and does not apply VAT onto the paypal fees in our calculations. For more details, please consult with a tax professional.
• As far as VAT on revenue goes, there is a corresponding field for that in our calculator where you can enter the VAT rate that you would like to apply to the revenue (item sold price + shipping charge). In other words, this means setting aside a portion of the revenue to pay for VAT.
