what you keep after fees, shipping and item cost platform fees
Poshmark and StockX supply the shipping label and charge the buyer, so your shipping inputs are ignored for them. Amazon uses a 10×8×2 in, 1.2 lb FBA example; eBay assumes most categories; no ads or promotions. Open any platform for its full options.

Pricing calculators
Three ways a platform takes its cut
Almost every seller fee is built from the same three parts, in different amounts. Knowing which part dominates tells you where a platform is cheap and where it is not.
- A percentage of the sale. Mercari takes 10%, Poshmark 20%. It scales with price, so it matters most on expensive items.
- A fixed amount per order. eBay’s $0.40, PayPal’s $0.49, Depop’s $0.45. It barely registers on a $200 sale and can be 5% or more of a $10 one.
- What the percentage is charged on. Some platforms charge on the item only; others include shipping, and eBay includes sales tax too. The same headline rate can mean very different dollars.
That is why the ranking above shifts as you move the price. Cheap items favour platforms with no fixed fee; heavy items favour platforms that do not charge a percentage on shipping; high-value items favour low percentages or caps, like Reverb’s $500 ceiling.
Questions sellers ask
Which marketplace has the lowest seller fees?
For US sellers in 2026, Depop is usually cheapest (no selling fee, 3.3% + $0.45 processing), then Mercari at a flat 10%. Poshmark is the most expensive at 20% on sales of $15 and up, but it includes the shipping label the buyer pays for.
Who has the lowest fees for selling online?
For US sellers: Facebook Marketplace local pickup (free), then Depop (3.3% + $0.45 processing), then Mercari (flat 10%). For shipped sales over about $20, Depop and Mercari usually leave you the most; Poshmark (20%) and Amazon FBA (referral plus fulfillment) take the most, though both include services others don’t.
How much does Amazon take from a $100 sale?
In most categories a 15% referral fee, $15. If Amazon also ships it through FBA, add a fulfillment fee of roughly $3–$7 for a standard-size item, so about $18–$22 in total, before storage.
How much does eBay take from a $10,000 sale?
In most categories 13.6% on the first $7,500 ($1,020) plus 2.35% on the remaining $2,500 ($58.75) plus $0.40, about $1,079 before any sales tax is added to the total.
Which fees are higher, Etsy or eBay?
eBay’s, on a typical sale: about 13.6% + $0.40 on item, shipping and tax, versus roughly 10% + $0.45 on Etsy. An Etsy sale from an Offsite Ad flips that, adding 12–15%.
Why do my fees look higher than the advertised percentage?
Most platforms charge their percentage on the item plus shipping, and eBay, Etsy (processing), Depop and Whatnot (processing) also include sales tax. Fixed per-order fees add a larger share on cheap items.
Are these fees the same outside the US?
No. All rates here are for US sellers. UK, EU, Canadian and Australian sellers pay different rates and often VAT on fees.
Does the comparison include advertising?
No. Promoted Listings, Etsy Offsite Ads, Depop Boost and similar costs only apply when you opt in or when an ad drives the sale. Each platform page has a switch or rate box for them.
How often are the rates updated?
They were last checked against each platform’s official fee page in September 2026. Every page shows the check date next to the formula.
