Uses average figures, so real months will vary. Business fees follow eBay’s UK fee pages as last checked on 5 November 2026: a final value fee (12.9% is the “Everything Else” rate), a 0.35% regulatory operating fee, and a per-order fee of £0.30 for orders of £10 or less or £0.40 above that, all on the total including postage. Private sellers pay no final value fee on most categories. For one item at a time, use the eBay fee and profit calculator. This is an estimate, not tax or financial advice.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about the planner.

How do I use it?

First, enter the average buy cost, sale price, postage and packaging for a typical item, how many you sell a month and how many hours you spend. The planner then shows your profit a month, per item and per hour, and how many items you would need to sell to reach your target.

Why look at profit per hour?

A sale that looks profitable can still pay very little per hour once you count sourcing, photographing, listing and posting. Profit per hour also helps you decide which items are worth your time.

Which eBay fees does it use?

For business sellers: a final value fee (12.9% is the "Everything Else" rate), a 0.35% regulatory operating fee, and a per-order fee of £0.30 for orders of £10 or less or £0.40 above that, on the total sale including postage. Private sellers pay no final value fee on most categories. Checked on 5 November 2026 against eBay's fees page.
