How the calculator works it out
The total sale is the sold price plus the postage the buyer paid. Every percentage fee is worked out on that total and rounded to the cent, the per-order fee is added once, and VAT at 23% is added to eBay's fees unless you switch on VAT-registered. Profit is what you received for the item and postage, minus eBay's fees, minus what you paid for the item, its postage and anything else; for a VAT-registered seller the VAT in the price is left out too. The break-even price is the sold price at which profit is exactly zero.
