This example walks through a real eBay sale fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) to help you understand how fees and profit are calculated.
In this scenario, a CD that typically sells for $2–$7 on Amazon was sold on eBay for $12.57.
Keep in mind, this is just one real transaction—prices and profits will vary depending on the item, demand, and timing. The goal here is to show how the fees break down in a real-world scenario.
Step 1: Confirm the Order in Seller Central
Go to Seller Central → Orders → Manage Orders and filter for Non-Amazon orders.
Locate the order and click the Order ID to open the order details.
Step 2: Review Order Details
Inside the order, you’ll see:
Sales channel: Non-Amazon (eBay)
Fulfillment method: Amazon (FBA/MCF)
Order status and shipment details
Step 3: View Amazon Fees
Click into the payment or transaction details for the order.
Here you’ll see the Amazon FBA fee, which includes pick, pack, and shipping.
In this example: $3.95
Step 4: Check eBay Fees
Go to your eBay account → Payments / Transaction view
Locate the order and review the final value fee charged by eBay.
In this example: $1.51
Final Breakdown of This Sale:
eBay Sale Price: $12.57
Amazon FBA Fee: -$3.95
eBay Fee: -$1.51
👉 Estimated Profit: $7.11
Important Note:
To get your true profit, you still need to subtract:
Your buy cost
Cost to ship the item to Amazon (FBA inbound shipping)
Key Takeaway:
Selling FBA items on eBay can sometimes yield higher prices, but always factor in both Amazon fulfillment fees and eBay selling fees to understand your real profit.
