Whatnot fee FAQ
How much does Whatnot take per sale in 2026?
8% commission on the sold price (5% electronics, 4% coins). Payment processing: 2.9% + $0.30 on the total transaction. Fee basis: commission on item; processing on item + shipping + tax.
Can I avoid Whatnot fees by selling locally?
No local-pickup option. For a guaranteed $0 in fees, post the item free on Brixaz — buyers pick up locally, there is no commission or payment processing, and you keep 100% of the price.
What fees does Whatnot charge on a livestream sale?
Two charges: an 8% commission on the sold price (5% for electronics, 4% for coins & money) plus payment processing of 2.9% + $0.30 calculated on the buyer’s total, including shipping and tax. There are no listing fees — you pay only when an item sells.
Does Whatnot charge fees on shipping?
The 8% commission does not — it applies to the sold item price only. But the 2.9% + $0.30 payment processing is calculated on the whole transaction, so buyer-paid shipping and sales tax do increase the processing part of your fees.
