ONE CLEAR COMPARISON
The math sellers usually have to piece together.

We total variable final value fees and subtract fee credits. Fixed order fees stay out.
02
Isolate remorse returns
We count shipped or charged remorse labels, excluding costs already paid by the seller or eBay.
03
Stress-test the result
Adjust listing coverage, label cost, and a possible rise in returns before deciding.
