Chrome extension for auction buyers

The hammer price is only half the story. Bid on the true cost.

Commission, VAT and lot fees quietly add 20–30% to every auction win. Auction Bid Calculator shows your all-in cost — and what the lot is really worth on eBay and Amazon — right on the auction page, before you bid.

Works on BidSpotter UK, BidSpotter US and i-bidder · Free forever for auction & eBay maths

How it works

Three clicks between you
and a confident bid.

Open any lot

Browse BidSpotter or i-bidder as normal. Click the extension icon and the calculator slides in beside the lot — commission % already filled in.

See the true cost

Enter your intended bid. Every fee is added instantly — with and without VAT, per unit if you're buying multiples.

Check the resale

Flip to the eBay or Amazon tab to see fees, margins, break-even and profit targets. Bid when the numbers say yes — walk when they say no.

Pricing

Free where it can be.
Fair where it can't.

Auction and eBay maths run entirely in your browser — they're free, forever, no account needed. Amazon checks use live market data that costs us real money per lookup, so those are metered.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

Is it really free?

Yes. The auction and eBay calculators run locally in your browser and cost us nothing to serve, so they're unlimited and free — no account required. Amazon checks call live market-data APIs that charge us per lookup, which is why they're metered: 10 a month free with an account, unlimited on Pro.

Which auction sites does it work on?

bidspotter.co.uk, bidspotter.com and i-bidder.com. The calculator opens on any lot page and reads the auction house's commission rate automatically where it's published. More platforms are on the roadmap.

How accurate are the eBay fees?

We model the full UK rate card: tiered final value fees per category, the fixed order fee, regulatory operating fee, seller-level adjustments, international fees and VAT. Rates are served from our backend so updates reach you without an extension update. Estimates are for guidance — always confirm against eBay's own fee pages before making big decisions.

Do you see my card details?

Never. Payments are handled entirely by Stripe, sign-in by Clerk — two of the most trusted names in the business. Card numbers never touch our servers. See the privacy policy for the full picture.

Can I cancel Pro anytime?

Yes — two clicks from the extension ("Manage subscription") into Stripe's self-service portal. You keep Pro until the end of the period you've paid for. No retention dark patterns, no emails begging you to stay.
