What we can prove eBay’s official API Approved August 2026 EU-hosted GDPR compliant

Know what you actually kept

ArbiKey lists to eBay, syncs your orders and watches supplier stock — on our servers, not your browser. Then works out your real net profit from that item's exact eBay category fee, not a flat percentage.

Where the money
actually goes

Change the two numbers. Everything below recalculates with your item’s real eBay category fee — the same engine that runs inside ArbiKey.

A flat percentage is the mistake. eBay charges by category, and the gap between 3% and 14.95% is the whole margin.

Your sale price $380.00

  • What you paid Amazon$328.00
  • eBay final value fee 13.25%−$50.35
  • Shipping & packaging−$11.40
  • VAT−$4.87
  • FX spread USD → EUR−$1.94
You lose money on this one Most sellers only ever see +$52.00 — sale price minus what they paid.
−$16.56 −4.4% margin

Shipping, VAT and FX use this example’s figures. Inside ArbiKey they come from your own settings and the European Central Bank’s rate for the hour the order landed.

Bank-grade isolation Row-level security and a full audit trail on every record.
Live ECB rates Pulled server-side every hour. No stale numbers, no guesswork.
Your data walks out with you Export everything to CSV whenever you want. No lock-in.
No card to start The free plan is free forever — not a 14-day countdown.
Built to be checked

Not an estimate.
A reconciliation.

Every figure above comes from the same place your money does: the exact eBay category fee for that item, the ad rate you actually set, the European Central Bank’s rate for the hour the order landed — and what you really paid your supplier.

  • Per‑categoryeBay fees, not one flat percentage
  • HourlyECB rates, pulled server‑side
  • Server‑sideSync runs without your browser open
  • ZeroPasswords shared, scripts run against eBay

The gap

Sold is not the same as made.

Between the price on your listing and the money in your account, three things quietly take a cut. Most resellers only ever measure the first one.

up to13.25%

eBay’s cut

Final value fee, plus a fixed charge per order, plus whatever you spend on promoted listings. It comes off the top, before you see a cent.

and another10–20%

The quiet middle

Shipping, packaging, VAT, returns and refunds. Individually small. Collectively, the difference between a good month and a flat one.

and then1–3%

The rate you forgot

You buy in one currency and get paid in another. The exchange rate moved between listing and payout — and nobody told you.

Most resellers price on instinct. Instinct is very good at spotting a deal, and very bad at compound percentages.

ArbiKey does the second part.
The platform

Five tools. One number that matters.

Everything is built around a single question: what did this actually make me?

01 — DASHBOARD

The morning number

Net profit, ROI, category performance and monthly trend, on one screen. Not revenue — profit. You know where you stand before your coffee is cold.

  • Net profit, ROI and margin as headline KPIs
  • Category breakdown — see which niches actually pay
  • Set a monthly profit target and watch it fill
02 — SALES HISTORY

Every sale, honestly

Each order recorded with its true profit — fee, shipping, tax, supply cost, all deducted. Returns and refunds land here too, so a bad week can't hide inside a good month.

  • Real profit per order, not gross sale price
  • Returns and refunds reduce the number, as they should
  • PDF invoices and CSV export for your accountant
03 — PRODUCTS

Your catalogue, ranked by truth

Supply cost, eBay price, margin and stock for every item, across every store. The winners rise. The quiet losers stop hiding.

  • Margin colour-coded per product — spot a loser instantly
  • Price history, so you see when a supplier crept up on you
  • Tested at 9,000+ products without breaking a sweat

04 — Calculator

The breakdown from the top of this page, as a standalone tool. Enter a source cost and a target margin; it hands you the price you need to list at. Or tells you to walk away.

05 — Stores

Run more than one eBay account? Keep them apart. Separate catalogues, separate books, one login — and a combined view when you want the whole picture.

How it works

Four steps. Then the guessing stops.

01

Source

Drop in the Amazon cost — or import your whole catalogue from a CSV.

30 seconds
02

Calculate

Fees, shipping, VAT and today’s exchange rate applied. Break-even, before you buy.

Before you spend
03

List

Price to a margin you chose, not a number that felt about right.

One click to eBay
04

Track

Every sale, return and expense logged. The month adds up on its own.

Runs without you
On purpose

We say no, so eBay
doesn’t have to.

Your selling account took years of feedback to build and can be taken away in an afternoon. Every shortcut below would have been easy to ship. Each one hands that account to a policy team. We left them out — and that is the feature.

  • We don’t place your Amazon orders for you. eBay’s dropshipping policy allows sourcing from a wholesale supplier. Fulfilling from another retailer is the part it draws a line under. Automating that step is one API call for us and one policy review for you — so ArbiKey tracks the profit and leaves the ordering in your hands.
  • We never ask for your eBay password. The connection runs on eBay’s own OAuth. ArbiKey holds a token, not your credentials, and you can revoke it from your eBay account settings in two clicks — without asking us first. A tool that needs your password is a tool you cannot fire.
  • We don’t drive eBay’s website with a robot. Every listing, revision and tracking number goes through eBay’s official API. Nothing types into their forms on your behalf. Browser automation breaks the week they change a button — and it is the precise behaviour their automation rules exist to catch.
  • We never hold your money. No wallet to top up, no card kept on file for supplier orders, no balance sitting with us. Money moves between you and your supplier the way it always did. We just tell you, to the cent, what it did on the way.

None of this is a gap we’re working around. It is the shape of the product. ArbiKey is built to survive an eBay policy update — because the day one lands, the tool that automated the shortcut is the one that takes your account with it.

Questions

Frequently asked

It automates the whole Amazon/AliExpress-to-eBay workflow and tells you what it actually made you. A Chrome extension imports products in one click and can list them straight to eBay. Once you connect your eBay account, orders, fulfillment status and tracking numbers sync automatically. Supply prices and stock are monitored so you catch changes before they cost you. And on every order, ArbiKey applies the real eBay fee, shipping, VAT and today's exchange rate — so the profit figure is the one that survives contact with reality.

For automatic order sync, fulfillment tracking and one-click listing, yes — through eBay's own official login (OAuth), the same method every legitimate eBay tool uses. ArbiKey never sees your eBay password, and you can disconnect in one click at any time. The profit calculator and manual product tracking work even without a connection.

No. ArbiKey connects through eBay's official Developer API, the same program AutoDS, Sellbrite and every compliant eBay tool uses. It does not scrape your account, spoof your login, or do anything eBay's terms of service prohibit. Listing, syncing and tracking all happen through endpoints eBay built for exactly this purpose.

Yes. Import a product from Amazon or AliExpress with the Chrome extension, then list it to eBay in one click — title, price, category, item specifics and images are filled in automatically through eBay's official Listing API. You can also connect your existing eBay listings and let ArbiKey track and price them going forward.
