Selling items for a profit is a tough business on eBay. Fees and subscription charges sneak up and sock it to you when the monthly eBay Invoice arrives!

Many eBayers have been working on ways to accurately predict their fees and their profits. Excel spreadsheets offer a great way to do it. You just need to take some time to visualize all of the "ins" and "outs" of your eBay business.

Start by writing down the steps of the eBay process and the fees and the relationships associated with them: Listing Fee, Final Value Fee (if it sells), PayPal Fee, Postage, Packing Materials, and any eBay subscriptions that you get billed for each month. It may take a few hours to build a good-working spreadsheet.

There is an Everything Else/eBay User Tools category for auctions. You can serach eBay for eBay Tools or eBay Fees or eBay Calculator to find them in the search results. These may work well for you ... they are created by other eBay users who, like yourself, are looking for ways to simplify the eBay business model.
