What’s the most you should pay?
Work backward from your expected eBay sale and target profit. Find the most you can pay after fees, postage, and purchase tax.
Start with the sale
Use a cautious selling price and a postage quote from Shippo or your label provider.
Compare Shippo postage rates →Ads, buyer tax & other selling costs
Buyer tax affects selling fees but is not your revenue. Add applicable insertion fees, seller surcharges, and other per-sale expenses under other costs.
