Q1: What is the spreadsheet calculation to work out the FINAL buyer price, that's accurate?
The new abysmal listing page does not allow you to enter a FINAL price the buyer will pay, but instead gives you a single box for your price then works out the fee that'll be added on afterwards?!
Q2: Also, is it better to break the postage back out again from a total sale price now? As previously (before free private sellers for the last 6-mths, since Oct.2024 until now) Ebay would charge fee on everything regardless of shipping cost being in price or separately extra. But AFAICT, now seemingly the buyer fee is only charged on the main price with postage not having the fee on it.
See here:

Separate issue: I should also add that Ebay's system doesn't charge the right fee either, on the list an item page! Example:
27.95 - item price
= 1.868 - buyer fee [ 1.118 (4%) + 0.75 (fixed)] – which should round up to 1.87 fee
Yet on the list an item page, Ebay fee shows fee as 1.84!

In your experience has the rounding always worked the same for specific prices, ie will £10 always work out at £11.12, £20 at £21.52 etc?
AFAICT yes, they're the same, as the fixed fee will remain the same for the same Final Price on all listings at the same final price, because nothing is different between them. So say the fixed fee is 71p on a £10 final price, it'll be the same for every seller listing their final price at £10.
The fixed fee only changes to be different (mine have been between 71p to 73p) depending entirely on different Final Price set. So 12.95 final price is 72p fixed fee, but a 27.95 final price is 71p fixed fee.
