We compared fees across all 16 platforms on FeePilot to answer the question every reseller asks: **which marketplace takes the smallest cut?** The answer depends on what you sell, how you sell, and where your buyers are.

## The Short Answer

For **local sales**, FB Marketplace and OfferUp are free (0%). For **shipped items**, Depop (US/UK) and Vinted charge the least. But "lowest fees" doesn't always mean "most profit" — audience size and sell-through rate matter just as much.

Approximate fees on a $50 item. Actual fees vary by category, seller level, and whether shipping is included in the fee base.

## Best Platform by Category

-   **Clothing & Fashion:** Depop (lowest fees) or Poshmark (largest fashion audience with strong sell-through)
-   **Sneakers & Streetwear:** StockX or GOAT — authentication builds buyer trust and commands premium prices
-   **Vintage & Handmade:** Etsy — the dominant marketplace for handmade, vintage, and craft supplies
-   **General Items:** eBay or Mercari — broadest categories and buyer reach
-   **Children's Items:** Kidizen — niche audience of parents buying kids' clothing and gear
-   **Local Sales:** FB Marketplace or OfferUp — 0% fees for in-person cash
-   **Luxury & Designer:** Vestiaire Collective — authentication and fee caps on high-value items

## Fees Aren't Everything

A platform with higher fees but **10x the audience** might net you more money. Consider:

-   **Sell-through speed:** Poshmark takes 20% but has a massive fashion audience with high sell-through. Items that sit for months on a cheaper platform cost you time and storage.
-   **Audience match:** eBay takes 13.6% but reaches basically everyone. Listing a niche item on a niche platform with 3% fees doesn't help if nobody sees it.
-   **Shipping costs:** Some platforms include shipping labels. Others don't. Factor in the total cost, not just the marketplace fee.
-   **Your time:** Cross-listing on 5 platforms takes effort. Sometimes picking 2-3 platforms with the best fit for your items is more profitable than chasing the lowest fee everywhere.
