If you've ever tried to figure out which platform to list something on based on fees, you know the drill: open seven tabs, find each platform's help page, do math in your head, lose track, give up. We got tired of it, so we built a fee calculator that does it in one shot.
Enter your sale price, hit Calculate, and you get a table showing what you keep on every platform, sorted best to worst.
Why we built it
Most existing fee calculators cover one platform, maybe two. The ones that cover more use rates from 2023 or require you to click through ads to see the number. We wanted something we'd actually use ourselves, so we built it.
A $50 item on Poshmark nets you $40. On Depop, $47.90. Over 100 sales at that price, the difference is $790. Same item, same effort, different platform.
What it covers
Seven platforms, verified June 2026:
- eBay: 13.25% final value fee on most categories, tiered rate above $7,500 included
- Poshmark: flat $2.95 under $15, 20% at $15 and above
- Mercari: flat 10%
- Depop: 3.3% + $0.45 payment processing (seller commission dropped to zero in July 2024)
- Etsy: $0.20 listing fee + 6.5% transaction + 3% + $0.25 payment processing
- Grailed: 9% commission + ~3% + $0.30 payment processing
- Vinted: $0 seller fees — buyers pay a buyer protection fee instead
When platforms change their rates, we update the calculator. The last verification date is shown on the page.
A few numbers that might surprise you
Type $12 into the calculator and look at Poshmark's column. Their flat $2.95 fee on sub-$15 sales works out to 24.6% — worse than their headline 20% rate. For low-price items, Depop, Mercari, and Etsy all come out noticeably ahead.
At $75, the gap gets interesting. Depop: you keep $72.52. Poshmark: $60. eBay: $64.69. That's a $12 difference on a single $75 sale between the best and worst option. If you list the same item across platforms, you'd need to price it higher on Poshmark just to hit the same take-home.
At $300, Vinted shows $300 net. But Vinted's US buyer pool is a fraction of eBay's or Poshmark's. Zero fees with no buyers waiting is not actually a deal. The calculator handles the fee math; whether buyers for your specific item shop on a given platform is still on you.
What it doesn't cover
Shipping costs, Promoted Listings fees, store subscription discounts, and Etsy's Offsite Ads surcharge aren't in the calculation. That last one is worth knowing about — it adds 12–15% on top of standard fees when a sale comes from an Etsy-served Google or Facebook ad, and sellers who earn over $10k on Etsy annually can't opt out.
Those variables differ too much by seller to calculate generically. The tool gives you the baseline: what each platform takes before any of that.

The fee calculator is free, no account needed. It's in the nav.
Before you start listing, check that your username is available on every platform you're planning to sell on. Finding out your name is taken on half of them after you've already started is an annoying problem that takes five seconds to avoid.
