How does eBay’s sliding watch fee work?

Each slice of the price pays its own rate. On a $2,500 watch, the first $1,000 pays 15% ($150.00) and the next $1,500 pays 6.5% ($97.50). With the $0.40 per-order fee that is $247.90, or 9.9% of the price. A $15,000 watch pays $797.90, about 5.3% of the price.

Is eBay dearer for watches than for other items?

For cheaper watches, yes: 15% is more than the 13.6% most items pay, so a $500 watch pays $75.40 against $68.40. The lower slices catch up quickly. From about $1,197.10, a watch pays less than a typical item at the same price, and the gap keeps growing.

What do UK business sellers pay on watches?

eBay UK charges 12.9% on the first £750 of a watch and 3% on the rest, plus the per-order fee and the 0.35% regulatory fee. A £2,000 watch pays £141.65. Jewellery other than watches has its own rule; see our jewelry calculator.

What this calculator leaves out

eBay watches fee questions

How much does eBay take from a $1,000 watch?

$150.40 with no postage or tax: 15% of $1,000 plus $0.40.

How much does eBay take from a $10,000 watch?

$647.90: 15% of the first $1,000, 6.5% up to $7,500, 3% of the last $2,500 and the per-order fee.

Do watch parts and straps pay the same rate?

Yes. eBay’s row covers watches, parts and accessories together.

Is there a cap on eBay’s watch fee?

No cap, but each slice above $1,000 pays less, so the share falls as the price rises.

Does postage count in the watch fee?

Yes. In the US eBay charges its percentage on the total sale: the price, the postage the buyer pays and the sales tax.
