About these tools

Marketplace and payment fees are layered: a commission, a processing percentage, a fixed per-order charge, sometimes an ad fee. These calculators apply each platform's published fee stack to your numbers so you can see exactly what you'll receive and price for the margin you want.

All fee rates live in a single fee table with a last-updated date shown on every tool page. Platforms change fees regularly — always confirm the current rate on the platform's official fee page before relying on a figure.

Frequently asked questions

Which marketplace has the lowest seller fees?

It depends on price: Depop and Mercari are low-percentage, Poshmark's 20% is high above $15, and eBay's 13.6% sits in the middle for most categories.

Are platform fees charged on shipping and tax?

Often yes — Etsy and eBay charge on shipping, and both charge processing or final value fees on sales tax.

What's the difference between margin and markup?

Margin is profit divided by price; markup is profit divided by cost. A 50% margin equals a 100% markup.

How do I price so fees are covered?

Use the Target-Margin Price Solver: price = costs ÷ (1 − fee % − target margin).

How current are the fee figures?
