The same sale, priced nine ways
One item, no shipping charged, no advertising, standard seller status, each marketplace’s default cited category. The order is what the seller keeps on a $100 sale — but watch the rate columns, because the gap between them changes with the price.
| Rank on a $100 sale | Marketplace | Fees on $100 | Rate at $12 | Rate at $100 | Rate at $500 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Depop 3.3% payment processing + $0.45 | $3.75 | 7.08% | 3.75% | 3.39% |
| 2 | Reverb 5% selling ($0.50–$500) + 3.19% processing + $0.49 | $8.68 | 12.25% | 8.68% | 8.29% |
| 3 | Discogs 9% of item price plus buyer-paid shipping | $9.00 | 9.00% | 9.00% | 9.00% |
| 4 | Etsy 6.5% transaction + 3% processing + $0.25 + $0.20 per item | $9.95 | 13.25% | 9.95% | 9.59% |
| 5 | Mercari 10% of item price plus buyer-paid shipping | $10.00 | 10.00% | 10.00% | 10.00% |
| 6 | Grailed 6% below $120 ($1.99 minimum), 9% at/above + processing | $10.47 | 28.25% | 10.47% | 12.69% |
| 7 | Whatnot 8% item commission + 2.9% order processing + $0.30 | $11.20 | 13.42% | 11.20% | 10.96% |
| 8 | eBay 13.6% through $7,500, then 2.35% (Store rates vary) | $14.00 | 16.92% | 14.00% | 13.68% |
| 9 | Poshmark $2.95 below $15; 20% at $15 or above | $20.00 | 24.58% | 20.00% | 20.00% |
Depop takes the smallest share at all three prices on today’s schedules, on the strength of a published formula that reads 3.3% payment processing + $0.45. One marketplace leading at every price is not the normal state of affairs — a single per-order charge or category threshold is usually enough to reshuffle the order, and the spread here still runs from 7.08% to 28.25% at $12 alone. Rather than carry one winner across a catalogue, run the sale you actually have through all nine at once, or open a single marketplace below.

02
Across marketplaces, and after everything else
Where the question is not what one platform charges but which platform to send the item to, or what is left once postage and overhead come out.
Marketplace Fee Calculator

Compare estimated seller fees, effective rates, net payout, profit, and margin across nine resale marketplaces.

Before the item is yours
Every tool above prices a sale you have already made. This one prices the one you have not: it runs on the rates from your own payout statement rather than a cited schedule, which is why it sits apart from the twelve.

- Your maximum bid
- Your own commission and per-order rates · shipping · required profit
Work backwards from a sold price you can evidence to the most you can pay and still clear the profit you set before the bidding started.
How to read a fee schedule
A headline percentage is not the rate you pay
Fixed per-order charges make the effective rate move with the price. That is the whole reason the table above has three rate columns instead of one, and why a $20 sale routinely gives up a larger share than a $500 one on the same schedule.
Thresholds are cliffs, not slopes
Several schedules change behaviour at a boundary rather than tapering. Crossing one can reprice the entire sale instead of just the amount above the line, which is why each calculator warns when your figure lands near one.
Shipping you charge is usually fee-bearing
On most of these marketplaces the commission applies to the buyer-paid total, postage included. Free shipping does not remove that cost — it moves it into the item price, where the same percentage still reaches it.
Two companies can take a cut
Where the marketplace does not process the payment, a second deduction arrives from whoever does. A payout is then two subtractions from two invoices, and only one of them appears in the marketplace’s own published rate.

Where these rates come from
Every rate is transcribed from the marketplace’s own fee page and stored with the sentence it came from quoted verbatim, the source URL, a Wayback Machine snapshot of that URL, who verified it, the date they did, and the date it falls due for review. Nothing here is inferred from a blog post or another calculator.
The schedule is a build input rather than prose, so the pages cannot disagree with it. A build fails if any rate passes its review date, a weekly watcher re-reads each source and reports when the quoted sentence changes, and each page warns in your browser if you are reading a copy published before the current review window. Rates still change without notice — confirm against the marketplace’s page and your own order receipt before pricing on them.
Frequently asked questions
Which marketplace has the lowest selling fees?
On the schedules we currently price, Depop takes the smallest share at $12, $100 and $500 alike. That is unusual — fixed per-order charges and category thresholds normally reshuffle the order as the price moves, so check the table above against your own price rather than carrying one winner across your whole catalogue.
Do these calculators include payment processing fees?
Where the marketplace processes the payment itself, yes — the processing charge is a separate line in the fee breakdown, not folded into the headline percentage. Discogs is the exception: it does not take the payment, so its calculator asks for your own provider’s percentage and fixed charge and counts them as a second deduction. It defaults to zero and says so rather than guessing a rate we cannot cite.
Where do the fee rates come from, and how current are they?
Every rate is transcribed from the marketplace’s own published fee page, quoted verbatim, and stored with the source URL, a Wayback Machine snapshot of that URL, the name of the person who verified it, the date they did, and the date it is next due for review. The newest verification across these schedules is 2026-07-28. A build fails if any schedule passes its review date, and each page warns in the browser if you are reading a copy that has gone stale since it was published.
Are the numbers I type sent anywhere?
No. The arithmetic runs in your browser and the figures you enter are never transmitted, stored, or logged. Sharing a permalink is the one exception, and it is deliberate: the values are in the URL you choose to copy, so a link you send to a partner reopens the same scenario.
Why do your figures differ from the marketplace’s own estimate?
Usually because of what the other estimate leaves out — a fixed per-order charge, a payment-processing line, a category that is priced differently from the marketplace default, or a threshold the sale sits just above. Every fee line here is labelled and traceable to a quoted source, so a mismatch can be read off rather than guessed at. Your actual order receipt is always the authority; treat these as planning figures.
