Is possible count by formulas eBay Buy It Now price ?

My cost price is £10 I want 40% = £14 (£4 profit) I need add ebay Fees + Postage + PayPal fees so I need selling price £17.90

Where is PayPal 3.4% + 20p
Ebay 40p listing
Ebay 10% Fee
Postage £0.9

I need formula where I

set my cost price + my profit 40-50% and formula count for me BIN price to get this Profit include shipping ebay and paypal fees

Thank you for help
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
No this and something like that I already try and all counting bad

From this I will get 17.98 what mean my profit is 40.7%

Lets said my cost price is 50 and I want 40% (20 profit) = selling price 82.56 by this formula I will get 81.80 and profit is £19.34 = profit 38.68%

I don't knot how to do it because ebay and paypal fees are count from final price, but I don't know final price I want count it.

IMHO, you are wise to calculate profit based only your cost of goods, not including cost of services (EBay, PayPal, shipping).

The formula you seek is:
Code:
=ROUND((B1*(1+B2) + B4 + B6 + B7) / (1-B3-B5), 2)
where:


A
B
1
Cost
10.00
2
Profit
40.00%
3
EBay rate10.00%
4
EBay fixed0.40
5
PayPal rate3.40%
6
PayPal fixed0.20
7
Shipping0.90

[EDIT] I had meant to explain the derivation of the Excel formula.
Code:
The BIN formula is:

BIN = cost*(1+profitPct) + BIN*ebayRate + ebayFixed + BIN*paypalRate + paypalFixed + shipping

So:

BIN - BIN*ebayRate - BIN*paypalRate = cost*(1+profitPct) + ebayFixed + paypalFixed + shipping

BIN*(1-ebayRate-paypalRate) = cost*(1+profitPct) + ebayFixed + paypalFixed + shipping

BIN = (cost*(1+profitPct) + ebayFixed + paypalFixed + shipping) / (1-ebayRate-paypalRate)
Algebraically, that becomes
