Selling in another category? Enter your rate (%)These figures use eBay’s published rates for the plan and category above — Starter pays the same as no Store, and Basic, Premium, Anchor and Enterprise all pay the same. If you sell in a category not listed, your own listing shows your rate; enter it and everything recalculates.I buy inventory tax-freeTick this if you do not pay tax on the stock you buy — with a US resale certificate, for example. Purchase tax then comes out of every figure below. Most individual resellers do pay it; most registered companies do not.Sales tax you pay on purchases (%)Your local rate, state plus county — roughly 6–10% in most states, and 0% in Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon. Set it to 0 if you have a reseller’s permit and buy inventory tax-free.Sales tax your buyer pays (%)eBay charges its final value fee on the sales tax too, so it costs you about a fifth of a percent of the sale. It depends on where the buyer lives, so this is an estimate — your own local rate is the best one available.PackagingMailer or box, plus tape and the label. Follows the parcel size you picked.
