Formula check

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.

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.
