What this tool does
Facebook Marketplace charges a selling fee on shipped orders, calculated on the total including item price, shipping and tax; sales completed by local pickup carry no selling fee. Meta's help page confirms the fee base but the long-published rate is 5% per shipment with a $0.40 minimum — this tool uses that rate and lets you edit it if your terms differ.

Frequently asked questions
For shipped orders the selling fee is 5% of the total (item + shipping + tax) with a $0.40 minimum per shipment. Local pickup sales have no selling fee.
On cheap items the percentage fee would be tiny, so Meta applies a flat $0.40 instead — any shipped sale of $8 or less effectively pays the $0.40 minimum at the 5% rate.
Yes. Meta's help page states the selling fee is applied to the total cost of the item including tax and shipping.
No. Items sold with local pickup or in-person collection don't carry the Marketplace selling fee.
Meta doesn't print the percentage on its public help page; check the fee line on a completed order in your seller dashboard and adjust the rate field here to match.
