2026 US fee schedules, checked against each platform's official fee page or published fee announcement (last updated July 2026). eBay modeled at the standard 13.6% most-categories rate; Whatnot at the standard 8% commission. Optional costs (promoted listings, boosts, seller shipping labels) are not included.

How the reseller fee calculator works

The calculator applies each platform’s published 2026 US fee schedule to your numbers. It knows which platforms charge on the item price alone (Poshmark) and which charge on the item plus buyer-paid shipping (eBay, Mercari, Facebook, Depop, Whatnot), it applies fixed per-order charges and fee minimums where they exist, and it knows OfferUp retired shipping — and the 12.9% fee that came with it — in September 2025.

Assumptions: eBay is modeled at its standard 13.6% most-categories rate, and Whatnot at its standard 8% commission. Sales tax is excluded (it varies by buyer), so on platforms that also charge fees on tax, real fees run slightly higher. Optional promoted listings, boosts, and your own shipping labels are not included. If you are not sure your asking price is right in the first place, run it through the listing price checker or estimate resale value with the used furniture value calculator.

How to calculate reseller fees

To calculate a reseller fee, multiply the platform’s commission rate by the amount it applies to — the item price alone, or the item plus buyer-paid shipping — then add any fixed per-order charge. What you keep is the total the buyer paid you minus that fee; profit is what you keep minus your item cost.

fee = (rate × fee basis) + fixed per-order charge

you keep = (price + pass-through shipping) − fee

profit = you keep − item cost

max buy price = you keep − (target margin % × price)

The “fee basis” is the trap most sellers miss: eBay and Facebook charge their percentage on shipping and sales tax too, while Poshmark ignores shipping entirely because the buyer pays the label.

Worked example: a $60 hoodie with $8 shipping

Say you sell a hoodie for $60 and charge the buyer $8 shipping where shipping flows through you. Same item, very different payouts:

PlatformFee mathYou keep
eBay13.6% × $68 + $0.40 = $9.65$58.35
Poshmark20% × $60 = $12.00 (item only)$48.00
Mercari10% × $68 = $6.80$61.20
Facebook (shipped)10% × $68 = $6.80$61.20
Depop3.3% × $68 + $0.45 = $2.69$65.31
Brixaz (local)$0 — no fees, no shipping$60.00

If the hoodie cost you $20 to source, raw profit spans $28.00 (Poshmark) to $45.31 (Depop) — but every shipped payout still owes the actual label, roughly the $8 you collected, while the local $40.00 is yours with no label, packaging, or payment holds. That spread is why flippers check fees before choosing where to list, and why the max-buy-price mode caps what you should pay at the thrift store.

Frequently asked questions

Which selling platform has the lowest fees in 2026?

For shipped sales, Vinted charges US sellers $0 and Depop charges only payment processing (3.3% + $0.45) — both far below eBay (~13.6%), Poshmark (20%), and Mercari (10%). For truly zero fees, sell locally: Facebook Marketplace local pickup, OfferUp local deals, and Brixaz listings all cost $0.

Are Facebook Marketplace local sales really free?

Yes. Facebook charges no selling fee when the buyer pays you in person with cash, Zelle, or Venmo. The 10% selling fee (minimum $0.80) only applies to shipped orders that go through Facebook's checkout — that fee doubled from 5% in April 2024.

Does eBay charge fees on shipping?

Yes. eBay's final value fee (13.6% in most categories) is calculated on the full amount the buyer pays — item price, shipping, and sales tax — plus $0.30–$0.40 per order. Offering “free shipping” does not avoid the fee; it just moves the cost into your item price.

Why did my Mercari fees change?

Mercari changed its fees twice recently. In March 2024 it dropped seller fees to 0% and shifted costs to buyers; on January 6, 2025 it reinstated a flat 10% seller fee on the item price plus buyer-paid shipping — with no separate payment-processing charge.

Will I get a 1099-K for selling used stuff?

Only above the federal threshold. Since the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, marketplaces file Form 1099-K only if you exceed $20,000 AND 200 transactions in a year, though some states set lower thresholds. Selling personal items for less than you paid is generally not taxable income.

How do I avoid reseller fees completely?

Sell locally for cash. Facebook Marketplace local pickup, OfferUp local deals, and Brixaz listings are all fee-free, so you keep 100% of the price. Local selling also skips shipping labels, packaging, returns, and payment holds — post free on Brixaz in about two minutes.
