How can I calculate the various costs associated with selling items o

Hi, I'm about to start selling items on eBay Australia (AU). Can you please tell me how to correctly calculate all the costs associated with trading there? I am interested in such things as site commissions, taxes, shipping, packaging and other possible costs. Can someone share their experience in calculating costs for eBay Australia?

Most importantly, pay attention to the commission of the platform itself - usually a percentage of the cost of goods sold plus a fixed fee for placing the lot. Well, the rest of it is simple in principle.

Consider also the cost of delivery: it depends on the weight and dimensions of the goods, the distance of shipment and the chosen method of transportation. The third important item is packaging: quality packaging material also costs money, especially for fragile or large items. Tax obligations are also important: Australia has a GST (Goods and Services Tax) that sellers have to pay on every sale. Another important aspect is payments from payment processors like PayPal, which take a cut from every money transfer to the buyer. This eBay fee calculator Australia will help you a lot https://easync.io/ebay-fees-calculator/au/
