eBay Jewelry Fee Calculator

eBay charges 15% on a jewelry sale of $5,000 or less and 9% of the whole sale once it is over $5,000, plus the per-order fee. Watches are not in this rule: they have a sliding rate of their own.

Read on eBay’s own pages on 7 October 2026. Every other eBay fee, with its source, is on the eBay fee calculator; every change we record is on the fee changes page.

What happens to the fee at $5,000?

It drops for the whole sale. A piece that sells for exactly $5,000 pays $750.40; at $5,000.01 it pays $450.40. That one cent leaves you $300.01 more. Like the handbag rule, the line is on the total sale, so postage and sales tax can carry a piece over it.

Is jewelry dearer to sell than other items?

Up to $5,000, yes: 15% against the 13.6% most items pay. A $300 ring pays $45.40, while a $300 item in most categories pays $41.20. Above $5,000 jewelry pays less than most items: $810.40 on a $9,000 piece against $1,055.65.

What do UK business sellers pay on jewellery?

eBay UK charges 14.9% on the first £1,000 of a piece and 4% on the rest, plus the per-order fee and the 0.35% regulatory fee. A £3,500 piece pays £261.65. Watches have their own rates in both countries: see our watch calculator.
