How it works

Use a quick fee estimate before setting your price or running a promotion.

1) Start with the sale price

Enter your expected sale price for the listing or offer.

2) Add likely fees

Include final value fee, payment processing, store promos, and GST so the take rate is realistic.

3) Check the net

Compare net revenue with your cost base and margin target before publishing.

Common mistakes to avoid

Stay clear of the usual fee miscalculations.

  • Leaving GST off both revenue and fee calculations.
  • Assuming the same take rate across categories with different fee caps.
  • Skipping payment processing fees when running low-priced promos.
  • Forgetting postage and packaging in a free shipping offer.
  • Not reassessing when store subscription or promotion terms change.

How Josie helps

Josie keeps fee logic anchored to Australian eBay settings so the profit and pricing views stay reliable. It supports workflows where you check fees before adjusting prices or launching a sale, and it keeps a link back to your cost data so net profit is always in view.

Pairing Smart Pricing with Inventory Management gives you context on whether a fee-heavy item is worth keeping active or needs a different fulfilment plan.
