What It Is

EbayCalc is fee and profit calculation software for eBay UK sellers. Its main purpose is to quickly estimate eBay/PayPal fees, postage, insurance, listing upgrade costs, and final profit before listing an item or purchasing wholesale stock. It is not an ecommerce storefront platform or an ERP system, but rather a desktop tool focused on pricing and profit calculations.

Core Features and Use Cases

The tool covers both auction and fixed-price listings, and can calculate listing fees, auction upgrades, picture costs, and listing upgrades. It also supports fee structures for multiple categories, excluding eBay Motors. For logistics, it includes Royal Mail postage calculations, can estimate UK and international service postage based on weight, and can automatically add insurance costs. More advanced features include Powerseller discount comparisons, eBay shop, PayPal account, VAT seller reductions, dropshipper postage settings, and comparisons between website profit and eBay profit. It is particularly useful for sellers who need to decide whether a wholesale product is worth sourcing.

Pricing and Costs

The page states that the software costs £8, with a half-price offer of £4 before the end of December. A full 30-day evaluation version is also available. Purchase includes a download link, a unique registration code, free lifetime updates, and annual postage updates before Royal Mail price changes. The entry cost is very low, but its practical value depends on whether the fee rules are kept up to date.

Pros and Cons

Its main advantage is that it is designed for the specific eBay UK selling environment, bringing listing fees, postage, insurance, discounts, VAT, and other factors into one calculation workflow. It is suitable for serious sellers who want to reduce manual spreadsheet work. The downsides are also clear: the system requirements are Windows 98 or later and Microsoft Excel 2000 or later, which makes the technology feel outdated; the page copyright runs to 2009-17, so users need to verify whether the current fee rules are still up to date; and its market focus is mainly eBay UK, making it less suitable for multi-marketplace sellers.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is best suited to eBay UK private sellers, business sellers, Powersellers, VAT sellers, and those evaluating wholesale or dropshipping products. The page provides no information about access from China, so its availability is unknown; payment methods are also not disclosed. If it cannot be used, alternatives include eBay’s official fee information, Seller Hub, online eBay fee calculators, or building a custom profit model in Excel or Google Sheets.
