Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate profit on a card sale?

Start with the sale price, subtract the platform fee (about 13% on eBay), shipping, supplies, and what you paid for the card. What remains is your net profit. This calculator does it instantly and shows your ROI.

What are eBay fees on card sales?

Final value fees run roughly 13% plus a small fixed fee for most sellers as of 2026, charged on the total including shipping. Always check current rates, since they change.

Should I include shipping and supplies?

Yes. Shipping, a bubble mailer, a toploader, and a penny sleeve all eat into profit. Leaving them out makes a losing flip look like a winner.
