Fees at a glance
These rates are read from the same fee structures the site's calculators compute with, so the table and the calculators cannot disagree.
| Platform | Fee structure | Calculator |
|---|---|---|
| eBay | 13.6% final value fee; $0.40 per order; 1.65% extra international | Calculate |
| Mercari | 10% seller fee | Calculate |
| Poshmark | $2.95 flat on sales under $15.00; 20% commission | Calculate |
| Facebook Marketplace | no fee on local pickup; 10% selling fee on shipped orders; $0.80 minimum | Calculate |
| PayPal | 2.99% Goods & Services rate | Calculate |
A lower fee does not guarantee a better outcome. Demand, sale timing, returns, shipping, payment, and account-specific costs can outweigh the headline rate.

Verify against the source
Fees change, and a fee page you cannot date is worthless. Before pricing a large batch of inventory, confirm against the platform's own published rates:
- eBay: eBay selling fees
- Mercari: Mercari selling fees
- Poshmark: Poshmark seller fees
- PayPal: PayPal merchant fees
- Facebook Marketplace: Marketplace seller policy
If you spot a rate on this page that no longer matches the platform, tell us and we will correct it and update the verified date.
Common fee questions
What percentage does eBay take in 2026?
For US sellers without a Store, eBay's published final value fee for most categories is 13.6% of the total sale amount up to $7,500 and 2.35% on the portion above, plus $0.30 for orders of $10 or less or $0.40 for orders over $10. Category, Store, advertising, international, seller-performance, and other fees can differ.
Does Facebook Marketplace charge seller fees?
Meta's current individual-seller policy lists a 10% transaction fee with an $0.80 minimum for shipped Marketplace checkout orders, applied to the item price, buyer-paid shipping, and applicable tax. Local pickup uses a 0% platform-fee assumption, but payment and other costs may apply. Availability and account terms vary, and Meta displays no effective date.
Which platform has the lowest seller fees?
There is no universal answer. Category, order value, shipping, payment method, account type, optional services, and sell-through can change the result. Compare current official terms and use calculator outputs only as estimates from the assumptions entered.
How do I estimate profit after fees?
Subtract the entered item cost, platform and payment fees, shipping, supplies, and other known costs from expected proceeds. Fuel, time, returns, taxes, storage, repairs, and unsold inventory may require separate assumptions.
How often do marketplace seller fees change?
Platforms can change rates, thresholds, categories, and availability at different times. Always confirm against the platform's own current fee page and the terms shown for your account before relying on a calculation.
