Questions
How much does eBay take from a sale?
For most categories in the US, 13.6% of the total sale (item, shipping and sales tax) plus $0.40 per order ($0.30 for orders of $10 or less). On a $45 item with $8 shipping and no sales tax that's about $7.61.
Which marketplace has the lowest fees?
For US sellers, Depop charges no selling fee (only payment processing) and TikTok Shop charges 6% including processing, while Poshmark takes 20% on sales of $15 and over. The compare table shows your real profit on each for the same item.
Do fees apply to shipping?
On eBay, Etsy, Mercari, Amazon and TikTok Shop, yes: the fee is worked out on the item price plus the shipping the buyer pays. eBay and Etsy's payment processing also include sales tax. Poshmark's fee is on the sale price only.
