How the Facebook Marketplace fee is calculated
For shipped orders, the 10% selling fee is taken from the total the buyer pays, including the shipping you charge. Orders under $8 pay the $0.80 minimum instead.
Older guides quote 5% with a $0.40 minimum; Facebook’s Help Center now lists 10% and $0.80 for shipped orders, so model the higher figure.
Why a Facebook Marketplace fee hurts more on cheap items
Drag the price. The percentage part of the fee stays the same, but any fixed charge is spread over fewer dollars, so the share of the sale you lose climbs as the price falls.
On a $10.00 sale Facebook Marketplace takes $1.00, which is 10.0% of the money.
