eBay Fee Calculator for Sneakers
Sneakers over $150 qualify for eBay's reduced 8% final value fee — but resellers who model only FVF miss the Feb 2025 $0.30 per-order charge, 2.9% managed payments, outbound shipping, and authentication fees on eligible listings ($15–30 on select pairs). A $180 Jordan retro with $140 acquisition cost leaves thin margin once every line item hits. Factor 5–8% return rates on hype releases before you bid on a restock lot — one wrong size run erases three profitable flips.
