Selected US category rate rules
The examples below use a $100.00 total sale amount and exclude optional or conditional surcharges.
Books & Magazines, Movies & TV, Music (selected subcategories)
15.3% up to $7,500.00; 2.35% above the prior tier
$100.00 example: $15.70 estimated fees
Coins & Paper Money (except Bullion)
13.25% up to $7,500.00; 2.35% above the prior tier
$100.00 example: $13.65 estimated fees
Athletic shoes (select categories)
13.6% on the whole amount below $150.00; 8% above the prior tier
$100.00 example: $14.00 estimated fees
The 13.6% athletic-shoe rate applies to the whole total sale amount below $150; the 8% rate applies to the whole total sale amount at $150 or more.
For athletic shoes, insertion-fee eligibility at $150 depends on the listing's starting price or Buy It Now price, not the total sale amount. This calculator does not infer eligibility; use the insertion-fee toggle manually.
Per-order fee is not charged for qualifying $150+ athletic shoe sales.
Per-order fee and exclusions
For this profile, the normal per-order fee is $0.30 when the total sale amount is $10 or less and $0.40 when it is over $10. Qualifying athletic-shoe sales of $150 or more do not receive that per-order charge. The artifact does not add insertion, international, currency-conversion, performance, or dispute fees.

Questions about category fees
Does eBay charge the same final value fee in every category?
No. The percentage can vary by listing category, seller and store profile, and the amount of the sale. This page compares only the selected US category groups audited in the cited profile.
What amount does eBay use to calculate the final value fee?
The final value fee is generally based on the total sale amount, which can include the item price, shipping collected from the buyer, tax, and other applicable amounts. Confirm the exact rule on eBay for your listing.
Are insertion and international fees included in the comparison?
No. The comparison artifact isolates final value and per-order fees. Use the full calculator to add insertion, international, currency-conversion, performance, and dispute assumptions.
