Marketplace Fee Comparison
Enter one sale price and see every marketplace's net proceeds ranked side by side, each computed with that marketplace's own real fee structure.
Applied where each marketplace's own fee structure uses it (eBay, Etsy, Mercari, Depop); ignored where it doesn't (Amazon, Poshmark, and PayPal/Stripe as payment methods).

|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Depop | $2.30 | $53.70 | 4.1% |
| 2. Mercari | $5.60 | $50.40 | 10.0% |
| 3. Etsy | $5.77 | $50.23 | 10.3% |
| 4. Stripe (as a payment processor, not a marketplace) | $1.75 | $48.25 | 3.5% |
| 5. eBay | $8.02 | $47.98 | 14.3% |
| 6. PayPal (as a payment method, not a marketplace) | $2.24 | $47.77 | 4.5% |
| 7. Amazon (Individual plan) | $8.49 | $41.51 | 17.0% |

Frequently Asked Questions
How is each marketplace's number computed here?
Each row calls that exact marketplace's own dedicated fee function on this site -- the same code the individual calculator pages use -- with that marketplace's typical default settings (no Store subscription, no Offsite Ads, the Individual Amazon plan, a domestic checkout-type PayPal payment, a domestic Stripe card). Change a setting that matters to you (a category, a Store level, an international buyer) on the marketplace's own dedicated calculator page for a more exact number.
Why are PayPal and Stripe on a marketplace comparison?
They're not marketplaces -- they're payment processors, included here because running your own storefront and taking payment through PayPal or Stripe is a real alternative to listing on a marketplace, and sellers often want to see that option lined up against the marketplace commissions.
Does the ranking change with a different sale price?
Yes, meaningfully. Poshmark's flat-$2.95-under-$15 step, Etsy's flat $0.20 listing fee, and PayPal/Stripe's flat fixed-fee components all matter proportionally more on a cheap item and less on an expensive one -- rerun the comparison at your own real price rather than assuming the ranking holds at every price point.
Which marketplace has the lowest fees overall?
There isn't one answer -- it depends on the category, the price point, and whether you're comparing a marketplace's all-in commission against a payment processor's card-only fee for your own storefront. That's exactly why this page runs the real math on your own number instead of stating a single winner.
These are estimates from the inputs you enter and each marketplace's published fee schedule as of the date shown above; fees change, so confirm the current rate on the seller's own page before relying on it.
