Where to list an item to keep the most (as of Oct 2026)

The same item can leave you very different amounts depending on where it sells, because each platform charges a different rate on a different base. This comparator runs one item through ten options and sorts them by what you keep after fees, shipping and your cost.

What each platform charges

  • Vinted US: no seller fees. The buyer pays the Vinted fee (about 5% + $0.70) on top of your price.
  • Facebook Marketplace: 10% of shipped orders, minimum $0.80. Local pickup is free.
  • Depop: no selling fee, 3.3% + $0.45 processing.
  • TikTok Shop: a referral fee widely reported at 6% (5% for pre-owned). Some sellers report 8% since August 2026, which we could not confirm, so the rate is editable.
  • Mercari: 10% of item plus shipping. Whatnot: 8% plus 2.9% + $0.30. Etsy: 6.5% plus 3% + $0.25 and a $0.20 listing. eBay: 13.6% of the total plus $0.40. Poshmark: 20% at $15 and up.

The example

A $40.00 item with an $8.00 label paid by the buyer and a $12.00 cost keeps $28.00 on Vinted or by local pickup, $25.97 on Depop, $23.20 on Mercari, $21.07 on eBay and $20.00 on Poshmark. The gap is $8.00 on one sale.

Shipping is treated the same everywhere

When the buyer pays shipping, it counts as money in, and the label always counts as money out. Platforms that buy the label from the buyer’s payment pay you less, but your profit comes out the same. Untick “Buyer pays shipping” to see free shipping. Sales tax is left out, which slightly understates the fees on eBay, Facebook, Depop, Whatnot and Etsy.

Fees are not the whole answer

A low fee doesn’t help if the item never sells there. Buyer traffic, how fast items sell, returns and listing time all matter. Use this to see what each sale is worth, then list where that item actually sells.

Sources and confidence

eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, Whatnot and Etsy rates are listed with their official sources on the Fee Ledger. Vinted (medium confidence) and Facebook (medium) come from official pages we could only read through search snippets. TikTok Shop is low confidence: third-party reports only.

Frequently asked questions

Which platform has the lowest fees for resellers in 2026?

For US sellers, Vinted charges no seller fees (the buyer pays a fee instead) and Facebook local pickup is free. Among platforms with seller fees, Depop’s processing-only fee is usually lowest, and Poshmark’s 20% above $15 is usually highest.

Does Vinted US charge sellers fees?

No. Vinted charges the buyer a Vinted fee, usually about 5% + $0.70, at checkout. Your payout is your item price.

10% of the order total, with a $0.80 minimum, and the fee includes payment processing. Local pickup sales have no fee.

What is TikTok Shop’s referral fee?

Most sources report 6% for most categories and 5% for pre-owned items. Some reported an increase to 8% in August 2026 that we could not confirm on TikTok’s own pages, so check Seller Center and enter your rate.
