03
Compare profit and ROI
Use both dollar profit and ROI to decide whether an item is worth sourcing, relisting, discounting, or skipping.
FAQ
eBay profit questions answered
How do I calculate eBay profit?

eBay profit is total buyer payment minus eBay final value fees, promoted listing fees, shipping label cost, packaging, item cost, and any other item-specific expense. If you only subtract fees, you are calculating payout, not true profit.

Should I include shipping in eBay profit?

Yes. Include shipping charged to the buyer and your actual shipping label cost. Buyer-paid shipping can increase the fee base, while your label cost reduces the money you keep.

What is the difference between eBay payout and eBay profit?

Payout is what eBay sends after marketplace fees. Profit is what remains after payout minus your purchase cost, shipping label, packaging, repairs, cleaning, and any other cost attached to that item.

What is a good eBay profit margin?

A good margin depends on price, category, sell-through speed, and return risk. Set a minimum dollar profit as well as a margin target: a small item can show a high percentage but still not be worth the packing and shipping time.

How can I track eBay profit over time?

Use the calculator for one-off estimates, then track each item in stokd so cost, listing status, source, sale price, fees, shipping, profit, ROI, and tax records stay connected as your inventory grows.
