Formula Used

The eBay postage cost is calculated using the following formula:

Postage Cost = Base Rate + (Weight × Weight Rate) + (Size Factor × Size Rate)

Where:

Base Rate - Minimum shipping charge for the selected service
Weight Rate - Cost per pound for the selected service
Size Factor - Calculated as (Length × Width × Height) / 139 (standard cubic inches per pound)
Size Rate - Additional charge for packages exceeding standard size limits

For international shipments, additional customs fees and handling charges may apply.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Domestic Standard Shipping

For a package measuring 12" × 10" × 8" weighing 5 pounds:

Size Factor = (12 × 10 × 8) / 139 = 7.21 cubic inches per pound

Postage Cost = $5.99 (Base Rate) + (5 × $2.50) + (7.21 × $0.20) = $5.99 + $12.50 + $1.44 = $19.93

Example 2: International Expedited Shipping

For a package measuring 8" × 6" × 4" weighing 2 pounds:

Size Factor = (8 × 6 × 4) / 139 = 1.67 cubic inches per pound

Postage Cost = $12.99 (Base Rate) + (2 × $5.00) + (1.67 × $0.30) = $12.99 + $10.00 + $0.50 = $23.49

Additional International Fees: $8.00 (Customs + Handling)

Total Cost = $23.49 + $8.00 = $31.49
