Sale price plus buyer-paid shipping minus marketplace fees, item cost, and seller shipping cost must equal the target profit. This result uses the live eBay fee model at the solved sale price.
Use fee data before setting a pricing floor
Break-even math depends on the marketplace fee model behind the selected platform. Use the Fee Index for same-input fee rows, Fee Changes for recent policy updates, and Seller Reports for dated summaries of fee pressure before treating one platform as the better pricing floor.
After the data check, run the exact item cost, shipping cost, and target profit here to see the sale price that keeps the listing from losing money.
Platform break-even calculators
Start from a specific marketplace when the listing channel is already chosen. Each route opens this same solver with that platform selected and keeps the current platform fee model attached to the result.
Why break-even price matters
A listing can look profitable before marketplace fees and still lose money after shipping, item cost, and fixed order charges. Solving the break-even price gives you a hard floor before offers, markdowns, or promotions enter the decision.
Use target profit as a safety margin. A zero target finds the no-loss price. A positive target finds the lowest price that still leaves room for your sourcing goal.
