Trading card fee calculator
Estimate eBay fees before you price a card.
Use VAULTED’s free calculator to model the costs that sit between the buyer’s payment and your real net profit: eBay fees, promoted listings, postage, supplies, card cost, and other order expenses.
Why fees matter
A profitable-looking card can shrink fast after costs.
The sale price alone does not tell you whether an eBay card order worked. You need to separate buyer payment, fee base, advertising, fulfillment, and inventory cost before deciding whether a listing price or offer makes sense.
- Estimate fee baseModel item price, shipping charged, and sales tax separately so your eBay fee estimate starts from the right number.
- Account for ad spendAdd a promoted listing percentage only when the order is expected to be attributed to an ad campaign.
- Compare real costsInclude postage, packaging supplies, card cost, and other order costs instead of only looking at gross revenue.
- Find the break-even priceSee the item price needed to cover the costs entered in the calculator.
