 One of the biggest mistakes that eBay dropshippers make is that they don't know exactly how much fees they're paying on every transaction that they have on their store which means we don't know exactly how much we're profiting and how much we should price each product even before we add it to our stores. That is why we here at AutoDS created the eBay fees calculator so that you'll be able to calculate each product that you add before you add it to your stores to know exactly how much you should price it and how much profit you are going to make when you sell that product. Here is exactly how our new eBay fees calculator works. First let's head to the product that we want to add to our stores. Let's say this is the product this jewelry making kit right here so there are two ways to proceed. The first is by copying the product's URL or you can simply remember the product's price then head to AutoDS's eBay's fees calculator page. I will leave a link to it right below this video. Quick tip if you found the product on eBay and you want to see how much that seller is profiting you can simply paste eBay's URL right here click on search and the selling price will fill in automatically or like I said you can remember it $12.55 and you can simply write it right here $12.55 type it on the product cost. Now what you want to do is start calculating your fees so let's see what options we have here. First we have the category so what category does this product belong to since it is a jewelry making kit it belongs to the jewelry category so we're going to click on the category and click on jewelry and watches. The reason that we're doing this is because eBay charges a different fee for every specific category that you see here and you also have general categories so if you cannot find the category that you are looking for here just choose general categories because that means that this product belongs to a general category where all of the fees are the same so in this case I'm going to go with jewelry and watches then I'll move on to payment processor so here there are two options either I'm going with eBay's managed payments or I'm still working with PayPal choose the right payment processor and continue down to the next options eBay account options so either you have an eBay store subscription and by eBay store subscriptions we are not talking about the starter stores this is only relevant if you have a basic premium anchor or enterprise store that is because starter stores their fees are pretty much identical to not having a store at all so if you are not paying for any store subscription yet if you're only in the beginning of your journey leave this box unchecked otherwise if you have a basic premium anchor or enterprise store go ahead and click in eBay store subscription now if you are a top rated seller go ahead and click that in too and if you are an international seller which means you are selling outside of eBay US or outside of the domestic region that you are selling on for example if you're selling on eBay Australia and you don't live in Australia then you are an international seller same thing if you're selling on eBay US and you don't live in the US you are an international seller in this case go ahead and click in international payment so click in or click out any of the relevant options and move on to the next section which is your selling price so we know that the product costs $12.55 now let's see how much we want to sell it for and how much we would profit if we sold it for that price so in this case let's go with $19.99 as our selling price so we have our product cost which is $12.55 and the selling price which is $19.99 then we have the shipping price and the shipping cost so this one is self-explanatory the shipping cost is how much it costs us the sellers to ship the products to our customers so we're going to our suppliers page to see how much our shipping cost is and in this case we have free shipping so we're not paying for shipping but in any case if we would be paying for shipping this is where we would be adding that price for the shipping cost how much we are paying as sellers to ship the product to the customer so in this case i'm not paying anything and i'm not going to charge anything either then you have the promotions so if you are paying eBay any fee to promote this product then you would want to add it here also for example let's say i'm running promoted listings on all of my products and i'm paying eBay a five percent promotion fee on every product that they are helping me sell using the promoted listing so in this case if i'm paying eBay five percent then i would add five percent to the promotions now of course this doesn't mean that every time i sell this product i will be paying that five percent fee only for those transactions where eBay really promoted the listing the customer clicked on that promoted listings and proceeded to check out from that link in that case i will be paying eBay that promoted fee and that's only if i have promoted listings and i would add that here so if the customer wouldn't buy through promoted listings i would simply have that as an extra profit let's do a quick recap this is the product that we're selling a jewelry making kit for twelve dollars and fifty five cents so the product cost is twelve dollars and fifty five cents and we want to sell it for nineteen ninety nine we're not paying a shipping price so we're not charging a shipping price and we're paying eBay a five percent promotion fee if the product sells through promoted listings so in this case our total fees are three dollars and three cents and that is because we have an eBay store subscription we are a top rated seller and it's also an international payment and the total profit that we will make from selling this product for nineteen dollars and ninety nine cents after all fees is three dollars and forty one cents clean profit in our pockets so the selling price is ninety ninety nine we know that the product cost is twelve dollars and fifty five cents and our total fees our total break even is fifteen point two percent so after fifteen point two percent then we start to profit and that profit is three dollars and forty one cents after a three dollars and three cent total fees and down here we have a pie chart showing us our total fees product costs and profit so our expenses are here twelve dollars and fifty five cents our fees are three dollars and three cents and our total profit is three dollars and forty one cents that is of course if all of these settings are correct so as you see here if I unclick top rated plus our total profit will move from three dollars and forty one cents to three dollars and thirty one cents so we made ten cents less if we are not a top rated seller and now let's see how much we will profit more if we wouldn't be an international seller which is another one point three percent fee in most cases so if I unclick that we will make instead of three dollars and thirty one cents three dollars and thirty four cents so in this case it wasn't that much but that's also because the buying price isn't that high now if I don't have a store subscription let's see how that will affect the profit so unclick that instead of three dollars and thirty four cents we will make only two dollars and eighty four cents that is why it's definitely worth it to have an ebay store subscription once we have enough listings on our store another feature worth mentioning is on the top left you can choose what ebay region you're selling on and that is because ebay charges different fees for their different regions in this case we checked out the fees for the united states region but if I click here on the drop down menu as you see I also have the united kingdom and we are going to add more regions very soon so by the time you're watching this video you may have more regions and once again this is really important because ebay as I mentioned charges different fees for different regions so this is how you can really break down the right fee that you are going to pay I haven't seen any other tool that really breaks down the right ebay fee that you are going to pay so definitely take advantage of this ebay fee calculator I hope that you will find it very very valuable to help you understand exactly how much fees you are paying and how much you are going to profit when you are importing products to your ebay store and that is pretty much how it works so enjoy the ebay fees calculator once again
