I know quite a few of you on here were using a handy tool to calculate fees from selling on eBay. Sadly, the original author of that tool has passed away and his website was removed.

I was able to revive the calculator and bring it back for everyone to use. Its a great tool for estimating your final value after fees from selling on eBay.

Please let me know if you run into any issues on the new site.

That's really cool. A lot of my "Best Offers" come in during the middle of the night and I like to respond quickly. This will save me from doing math at 3am.

I've used the calculator at eBay and PayPal Fee Calculator (http://www.newlifeauctions.com/calc.html) and found it useful.

Sadly, Ryan Olbe died recently. An accident I believe...

I wondered what happened to that one Ryan did. I've been using another that also worked but his layout was perfect. Thanks for the post and I'll give it a try out soon.

THANK YOU!!! I've been missing that, but I'm sorry to hear what happened to Ryan.

Please let me know if you find any errors with the fees. I have been trying to update the fees from Ryan's last version to the most up-to-date fees from eBay.

Because you don't have to fill out all the fields each time.

What I need is a fee calculator that is tied into Excel. With that I would be fully automated.

Anyone ever heard of such a thing?

You can write the formulas yourself into Excel. I used to do it all the time when I was selling on Ebay, but don't mess with them much personally anymore.

I'd have to keep up with all the eBay fee changes... too much work. But it would do the trick.

Your calculator doesn't consider ebays charge on your shipping charges, might want to fix that...

Final Value Fees now include shipping on Fixed Prices - I always had them on the auctions.

Thanks for the catch!

also on your fixed listing does ebays fee automatically come with the additional 50 cent charge? If so can you add an option to take that off as they have stopped that charge until 2013

great work so far, thanks!

Ebay doesn't give the seller their Top Rated discount on final value shipping fees unless you build the shipping cost into the BIN price. Anyone entering their discount will see fees less then they will actually be charged.
