Excellent margin — premium positioning is working
With 44.8% margin and $20.59 profit per order, this product is priced well above costs. You have strong headroom to offer bundle discounts, absorb seasonal shipping surcharges, or invest in better packaging without eroding profit.
Fee burden is within marketplace norms
Fees take 14.5% of revenue ($6.65). This is common across marketplaces. Focus on controlling product and shipping costs rather than chasing fee reductions, since marketplace fees are largely fixed.

Recommended Improvements
Specific moves you can make today, ranked by potential profit impact. Each uses your real numbers.
Fix shipping undercharge of $5.49
High impactYou pay $5.49 but charge $0.00. Aligning them, or increasing item price by $5.49, immediately adds $5.49 to profit per order with zero extra work.
Review packaging spend
Low impactPackaging at $1.25 per order adds up. Test bulk tissue, simple kraft mailers, or eliminating one insert. Cutting $0.50 per order improves margin by 1.1% without affecting product quality.
Create a 2-pack bundle to improve fees efficiency
Medium impactListing fee stays flat per bundle. Selling two items together for $82.76 with a 10% bundle discount could net around $37.06 profit versus $41.17 separately, while reducing per-unit fee impact and shipping overhead.

How it works
Methodology & formulas
This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.
Calculation steps
- 1Revenue = sellingPrice + shippingCharged.
- 2Final value fee = revenue × finalValueFeePercent + finalValueFeeFixed.
- 3Promoted fee = revenue × promotedRate.
- 4Total eBay fees = final value fee + insertionFee + promoted fee + storeFeePerOrder.
- 5Fulfillment = productCost + shippingCost + packagingCost.
- 6Total costs = fulfillment + totalEbayFees.
- 7Net profit = revenue − totalCosts.
- 8Profit margin = netProfit ÷ revenue × 100.
- 9Markup = (sellingPrice − productCost) ÷ productCost × 100.
Formulas
- Revenue = price + shippingCharged
- FVF = revenue × FVF% + fixed
- Promoted = revenue × promoted%
- eBayFees = FVF + insertion + promoted + storePerOrder
- TotalCosts = product + shipping_actual + packaging + eBayFees
- NetProfit = revenue − totalCosts
- Margin% = netProfit ÷ revenue × 100
Important assumptions
- Final value fee percent applies to item price plus shipping charged to buyer, matching eBay's fee base.
- Fixed per-order eBay fee and insertion fee are counted once per order.
- Promoted Listings fee only applies if you run Promoted — leave 0% for organic.
- Store fee per order should be monthly Store cost divided by expected monthly orders for amortization.
- This is single-order economics. Volume discounts on shipping or packaging are not modeled unless you lower those inputs.
- Taxes collected for remittance are not included unless added to fees.
