US non-Store schedule. Jewelry excluding watches uses 15% for orders up to $5,000 and 9% on the whole order above it. Watches use 15% on the first $1,000, 6.5% on the next $6,500 and 3% above $7,500. Eligible heavy equipment uses 3% up to $15,000 and 0.5% above it. Other supported categories use their starting rate up to $7,500 and 2.35% above it.
Handbags, eligible athletic shoes, bullion, vehicle sales and Store schedules require their own fee rules and are outside this calculator.

Use the full order fee base
Final value fees and the per-order charge use item price, buyer-paid shipping and applicable buyer tax. Tax is a fee base but is excluded from seller revenue. Payment processing is included in this fee stack; adding a separate generic PayPal processing percentage would duplicate that charge.
Low-value order threshold
For a completed order of $10 or less the per-order fee is $0.30. Above $10 it is $0.40. With no shipping or tax, a $10 most-category order has $1.36 percentage fee plus $0.30 fixed, leaving $8.34 before costs. The $10.01 example has $1.36136 plus $0.40, leaving about $8.25.
Whole-price jewelry and marginal watches
Jewelry excluding watches uses 15% for order bases up to $5,000 and 9% of the whole order above that threshold. Watches use 15% on the first $1,000, 6.5% on the next $6,500 and 3% above $7,500. Do not apply the jewelry schedule to watches. Eligible heavy equipment has its own $15,000 marginal threshold.
Is $7,500 a final value fee cap?
It is a rate threshold for many supported non-Store categories, not a maximum dollar fee. The reduced rate applies to the portion above the threshold; the fee continues to grow. This is an order fee calculation, not a monthly aggregate. Category-specific schedules can have different thresholds or whole-price rules. The breakdown above separates the percentage final value fee from the per-order charge.
High-value general example
For an $8,000 most-category base, percentage fee is $7,500 times 13.6% plus $500 times 2.35%: $1,031.75. Add the $0.40 order fee. The rate above $7,500 applies only to that portion, so a flat 13.6% multiplication overstates the result.
Exclusions and next step
This tool covers the listed US non-Store categories. It excludes special handbag, eligible athletic-shoe, bullion and vehicle rules, Store schedules, insertion fees, upgrades, international fees, ads and taxes on fees. Use your actual Store schedule in the Store comparison. Payout still needs product, postage, packing and marketing costs subtracted to become profit. Selling from the UK?
