How the math works
- eBay fee: 13.6% of the sale (13.25% for TCG) plus $0.40 per order, or $0.30 when the sale is $10 or less.
- Buyer pays shipping: the fee also applies to the shipping you charge. The calculator charges the buyer enough to cover your label after that fee.
- Free shipping: you pay the label out of your sale price.
- Default labels, free shipping: Switch family $20, Series S $22, PS5 Slim or Series X $30, original PS5 box $35, retro $18, generic console $30. Games, TCG and other default to $5. Replace these with your real label cost.
- Net = what you collect, minus fees, label, supplies, inbound shipping and buy price. ROI = net divided by buy price plus inbound shipping.
- The $8 net rule: we only call a flip when it nets at least $8 after fees and shipping.
Estimate, not advice. Fees, shipping and sale prices change. eBay rates vary by seller and category. Check recent sold listings and your own costs before you buy. Results are not a promise of profit.
