A bench power supply, bought for USD 22 from a supplier in China and sold on eBay.com.au. Scroll, and watch each cost take its share.

Makes A$28.52 per sale (26.6%). Pay the supplier at most A$40.36, delivered. List it at A$63.04 or more to break even.
Not counted: eBay's 5.5% extra fee if late deliveries put the account below standard.
[ 04 ] four things, every time
the marketplace
Final value fee for the product's category, the per-order fee, the fee for a buyer abroad, promoted-listing ads, regulatory fees and eBay's currency conversion.
the border
VAT or GST inside the price, the EU's EUR 3 duty per parcel since July 2026, Italy's own EUR 2 since October, and the import limits above which buyers pay at the door.
the walk-away price
The most you can pay your supplier and still make EUR 10 and 25% a sale, the price above which every sale loses money, and the lowest price to list at.
the honest part
A cost nobody can price yet is never counted as zero. US tariffs on Chinese goods, a customs rule not sourced, a parcel above the import limit: the check says so, by name.
[ 05 ] before anyone pays
Six sellers in four countries ran real products through it. Every result was worked out again by hand from the official rates.
The test found three costs that were missing or wrong. All three are fixed, and each has its own test.
"A seller must never lose money by following a verdict."
[ 06 ] almost there
Three free checks to start. Then about EUR 9 a month for every product and market you want to check.
