Simple eBay Fee Calculator

This simple fee calculator is designed for beginner or casual sellers who use eBay's first 50 free listings. It is designed to help sellers determine a starting price that will cover all costs of the sale, particularly if shipping costs may be higher than the item cost.

To make your own fee calculator, copy the code below and paste it into a plain text Notepad file on your desktop. Give the file the ".htm" suffix and it will open in your browser when clicked. Additionally, you may edit the code to add features appropriate to your own selling.
