Using it
- 1
Enter price and cost
Use the price the buyer pays and the all-in cost at the source.
- 2
Fill the fees
Add eBay's fee rate, the fixed fee and the tax charged on your purchase.
- 3
Read the split
The bars show how the price divides between profit, cost, fees and tax.
The arithmetic
1profit = price - fees - source cost - tax - other
2margin = profit / price
3ROI = profit / (source cost + tax + other)
