Compare seller fees: referral fees, subscriptions & closing costs — see which platform earns you more. Amazon vs eBay FeeComparison
← ylishi.toolsKey fact: eBay and Amazon do not take their fees the same way.

The free calculator runs one product through both fee stacks and returns which platform leaves the larger profit per sale.

It depends on your product category and volume. eBay generally has lower fees (13.6% final value on most categories, plus a $0.30/$0.40 per-order fee, vs Amazon's 15% referral + FBA fees), but Amazon's FBA handles fulfillment. Use this calculator to compare your exact fees side by side.
Yes, many sellers operate on both platforms. eBay is better for unique/used items with auction-style listings, while Amazon excels at high-volume new products with Prime shipping. Diversifying reduces platform risk.
Amazon charges $39.99/month for a Professional seller account. Individual sellers pay $0.99 per sale instead. The Professional plan is cost-effective once you sell more than 40 units/month.
Amazon FBA handles storage, packing, shipping, and returns for a per-unit fee. eBay has no equivalent built-in fulfillment — sellers use third-party logistics or self-ship. FBA costs more but offers Prime eligibility and higher conversion rates.
