    Is there a calculator that figures out all the fees?

    I want to plug in variables like starting bid, BIN, final value fees, paypal fees and find out exactly how much it costs to list. I know I can pull teh bits and pieces out AFTER the auction sells but I want a way of guestimating if it's worth selling an item.

    Also, anyone want to share their personal threshholds of how much of a profit makes it worth the effort? I don't like to sell anything that normally gets a buck or 2 because the fees eat that up and it feels like I basically fattened ebay's pockets with my time.

    OK - I think the calculator you posted is going on the old rate. I plugged in $100 as the final bid and it gave me $4.82 for the FVF. It's a good start though.

    It says 2008, but probably can't keep up with the rate of increase. I know I can't! lol
