Depop has no selling commission in either market but still deducts payment processing. Poshmark takes 20% on a $50 US sale. Mercari takes 10% of the item price plus buyer-paid shipping. eBay US usually charges 13.6% plus $0.40 on an order over $10 in most categories. UK eBay is free for private sellers in most categories, but professional resellers must use business pricing. ## 2026 seller fee comparison These are standard published rates for sellers based in the named market. They exclude optional advertising, listing upgrades, seller-funded shipping discounts, international charges and penalties. Always check the live fee screen before listing: a platform can change its schedule, and category or account status can change the result. Platform US seller charge UK seller charge Main fee base **[Vinted](https://margeoapp.com/en/blog/vinted-seller-fees-explained/)** No mandatory seller fee No mandatory seller fee Buyer pays protection and shipping; optional seller promotion costs extra **Poshmark** $2.95 below $15; 20% at $15+ Not a comparable active UK marketplace Sale price; seller-funded shipping discounts reduce payout separately **eBay** Most categories: 13.6% + $0.30 per order up to $10 or $0.40 above $10 Private: 0% transaction fee in most categories. Business: category schedule; clothing is 11.9% before other applicable charges US fee generally uses the total sale, including shipping collected and sales tax **Mercari** 10% Not available Completed item price + buyer-paid shipping **[Depop](https://margeoapp.com/en/blog/depop-seller-fees-explained/)** 0% selling fee; 3.3% + $0.45 processing 0% selling fee; 2.9% + £0.30 processing Processing applies to item price, shipping and applicable taxes **Facebook Marketplace** No platform checkout fee for an in-person local sale No platform checkout fee for an in-person local sale Shipping and checkout availability varies by account and location Primary references: [Vinted Buyer Protection](https://www.vinted.com/help/342-buyer-protection-fee-on-vinted), [Poshmark seller fees](https://support.poshmark.com/s/article/297755057), [eBay US selling fees](https://www.ebay.com/help/selling-fees/selling/selling-fees?id=4822), [eBay UK private fees](https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/fees-credits-invoices/fees-private-sellers?id=4822), [eBay UK business fees](https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/selling-fees/store-fees?id=4809), [Mercari fees](https://www.mercari.com/us/help_center/article/169/) and [Depop seller charges](https://depophelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360001791127-Seller-fees-and-charges). ## $50 US example: compare the same fee base Assume the amount used to calculate the fee is exactly **$50**, with no promotion, shipping-label cost, shipping discount or return. This controlled example makes the commission comparable; an actual eBay or Depop order can have a larger fee base because shipping and tax may be included. Platform Calculation Seller payout **Vinted** No mandatory seller fee **$50.00** **Facebook local** No platform checkout fee **$50.00** **Depop US** $50 × 3.3% + $0.45 = $2.10 **$47.90** **Mercari** $50 × 10% = $5.00 **$45.00** **eBay US, most categories** $50 × 13.6% + $0.40 = $7.20 **$42.80** **Poshmark** $50 × 20% = $10.00 **$40.00** If the item cost $8, subtract that $8 from each payout to get gross profit before packing, postage paid by the seller, mileage, returns and tax. The platform with the smallest fee is not automatically the most profitable if it forces a lower sale price or takes much longer to sell. ## £50 UK example: private selling is not professional reselling For a £50 item with a £50 processing base, Vinted returns £50 before optional services; Depop processing is £1.75, leaving £48.25. A UK-based **private** eBay seller receives the £50 listing price in most categories before optional or international charges. That eBay private rate is not a loophole for a resale business. eBay states that sellers who buy items to resell must register as business sellers. A UK business listing clothing therefore follows the business category schedule—currently 11.9% for the main Clothing, Shoes & Accessories category—plus any applicable listing, regulatory, international or promotion charge. Compare account types before using a headline “0%” figure. ## How to choose the platform without chasing 0% - **Low-priced everyday fashion:** test Vinted first, but compare the buyer's all-in checkout price because buyer fees affect demand. - **Curated vintage, Y2K and streetwear:** Depop can justify processing costs when its audience supports a better selling price. - **Premium fashion and bundles in the US:** Poshmark's 20% is expensive, so keep it only when the achieved price or sell-through rate compensates. - **Mixed categories or international demand:** eBay's reach can outweigh its fee, especially for distinctive items with strong sold comparables. - **General US inventory:** Mercari's 10% is simple, but remember that buyer-paid shipping is part of the seller fee base. - **Bulky local goods:** Facebook Marketplace avoids a platform checkout fee on local deals, but you handle payment, safety and collection logistics. ## Calculate a listing floor, not just a fee Use this before cross-listing: **minimum sale price = (item cost + seller-paid shipping + supplies + target profit + fixed fee) ÷ (1 − percentage fee)** For an $8 item, $1 of supplies and a $25 target profit on Poshmark, the minimum price is ($8 + $1 + $25) ÷ 0.80 = **$42.50**. At $40, the listing cannot meet that target even if it sells quickly. On Vinted, the same simplified floor is $34 because there is no mandatory seller commission.

For eBay's category-specific base, use the [eBay fee calculator](https://margeoapp.com/en/ebay-reseller-fees-calculator/). Record the actual fee from the order—not only the advertised percentage—when you review margin later. ## Costs the headline percentage misses - promoted or boosted listings; - shipping paid or discounted by the seller; - packaging and label adjustments; - international, currency-conversion or regulatory charges; - returns, partial refunds and payment disputes; - the time and price reduction needed to sell on a smaller marketplace.

Fees are only one line of the calculation. ## FAQ ### Which resale platform has the lowest seller fees in 2026? Vinted charges no mandatory seller fee in the US or UK.
