Frequently Asked Questions
What are the typical selling fees on eBay?
eBay charges a 13.25% final value fee on most categories, plus payment processing fees of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. Some categories like musical instruments and business equipment have lower fees around 6.35%.
Which platform has the lowest fees for resellers?
Etsy has lower transaction fees (6.5%) but charges listing fees ($0.20). For items over $15, Mercari's 10% fee is competitive. The best platform depends on what you sell and your average sale price.
Does Poshmark charge payment processing fees?
No, Poshmark's flat fee structure ($2.95 for sales under $15, or 20% for $15+) includes payment processing. There are no additional transaction fees, making the total cost predictable.
How do I calculate my profit margin after fees?
Subtract all fees and your item cost from the sale price. For example: $50 sale - $8 platform fees - $15 item cost = $27 profit. Divide profit by sale price for margin: $27/$50 = 54% margin.
Are platform fees different for promoted listings?
Yes, promoted listings add an extra percentage on top of regular fees. eBay Promoted Listings typically charge 2-20% of the sale price depending on your ad rate setting.
