How platform fees compare
Every reselling platform takes a cut of your sale, but the amount and structure varies significantly. Vinted charges sellers nothing: buyers pay a protection fee instead. Poshmark takes a flat $2.95 on sales under $15, then jumps to 20% above that, making it one of the more expensive options for higher-priced items. eBay's 13.6% FVF applies to most categories and includes payment processing. Etsy stacks a listing fee, transaction fee, and payment processing fee, but the total is competitive for mid-range items.
The platform with the lowest fees isn't always the best choice: it depends on where your buyers are. But knowing the fee structure helps you price strategically and decide which platforms are worth listing on for a given item.
Notes on specific platforms
- eBay: 13.6% covers most reselling categories, plus a $0.30-$0.40 per-order fee. Motors parts, real estate, and heavy equipment have different rates. eBay also charges fees on the shipping amount the buyer pays.
- Poshmark: The 20% fee above $15 is steep, but Poshmark handles shipping (buyers pay a flat label fee) so sellers don't need to think about shipping costs.
- Mercari: Flat 10% selling fee with no separate payment processing fee (Mercari dropped its old processing fee in January 2025).
- Depop: 0% seller commission plus 3.3% + $0.45 payment processing on the item price and any shipping the buyer pays.
- Etsy: $0.20 listing fee plus 6.5% transaction fee plus 3% + $0.25 payment processing. The listing fee applies each time an item sells and relists.
- Grailed: 6% commission (minimum $1.99) on sales under $120, 9% at $120 and above, plus approximately 3.49% + $0.49 payment processing.
- Vinted: No seller fees at all. Buyers pay a buyer protection fee on top of the listed price. Your full sale price is your payout.
