Marketplace Seller Fee Calculators
Every marketplace takes a different cut, and the headline percentage rarely tells the whole story. Pick a platform to see the all-in fee on any sale, plus the payout step that comes after.

On a plain $50 sale (no ads, no FBA), the order from least to most in fees is Etsy → eBay → Amazon, but each charges in a different shape, so the order flips with category, price and fulfillment. Resale platforms add their own twists: Depop dropped its US selling fee, StockX scales fees by seller level, and Poshmark uses a flat-or-20% split.
Running your own store rather than selling on a marketplace? Marketplaces take a cut of each sale; a hosted store charges a plan plus processing instead. See the Shopify payment fees calculator.

The fee after the fee: your payout
Whatever the marketplace keeps, there’s a second cost most sellers never calculate: getting the money to your bank. If you sell in one currency and bank in another, a marked-up conversion on the payout takes its own cut, on top of the platform fee. That’s our specialty. After you’ve sized up the marketplace cut, check the real payout cost with the Wise, Payoneer and PayPal calculators.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which marketplace has the lowest seller fees?
It depends on the sale. On a plain $50 sale (no shipping charged, no ads, no FBA), the fees come to: Depop $2.10 (4.2%), Etsy $5.20 (10.4%), StockX (Level 1) $6.00 (12.0%), eBay $7.20 (14.4%), Amazon (most categories) $7.50 (15.0%), Poshmark $10.00 (20.0%). Add Amazon’s FBA fulfillment (an estimated $3.50 for a small standard item) and Amazon’s comes to $11.00 (22.0%). Your category, price point, fulfillment method and whether you advertise all move these numbers, which is why a per-sale calculator beats a single headline number.
Do marketplace fees include payment processing?
It varies. eBay’s final value fee is all-in (it includes card processing). Etsy charges payment processing separately (3% + $0.25 in the US) on top of its transaction fee. Amazon’s referral fee is its commission; FBA is a separate fulfillment charge.
What happens to fees after the sale?
Every marketplace pays you out to a bank account, and that step has its own cost. If your payout currency differs from your bank’s, an exchange-rate markup is quietly taken on the way, so the payout method matters as much as the platform.
How much do marketplaces take on a $50 sale?
On a plain $50 sale (no ads or FBA): Etsy keeps $5.20 (10.4%), eBay $7.20 (14.4%), Amazon $4.00–$22.50 depending on category (5%–45% referral), Depop $2.10 for US sellers (no selling fee), StockX $11.00 at Level 1 once you add the ~$5 shipping fee, and Poshmark $10.00 (20%). The cheapest platform flips with your category, price and whether you advertise, which is why a per-item calculator beats a single headline.
Which marketplace is cheapest for higher-priced items?
On a $200 sale (no shipping charged, no ads, no FBA), the fees come to: Depop $7.05 (3.5%), Etsy $19.45 (9.7%), StockX (Level 1) $24.00 (12.0%), eBay $27.60 (13.8%), Amazon (most categories) $30.00 (15.0%), Poshmark $40.00 (20.0%). Fixed parts of a fee (Depop’s $0.45, Etsy’s $0.20 listing and $0.25 processing) weigh less as the price rises. On cheap items the picture changes, because flat fees (Poshmark’s $2.95 under $15, StockX’s $5 minimum seller fee) dominate.
