Poshmark charges a flat $2.95 commission on sales under $15.
For sales of $15 or more, Poshmark takes a flat 20%. There is no separate payment processing fee — it's bundled in.
Poshmark handles shipping pricing — the buyer pays Poshmark for a priority mail label by weight tier. The seller chooses the label weight at listing time.
Bundled sales (multiple items from one closet) use the same fee structure applied to the total bundle price.
Returns: in scenarios where Poshmark sides with the buyer, the seller may forfeit the sale. Not factored into this calculator.
Last verified 2026-05-13Payout: 3 days after the buyer receives the item (or after the acceptance window closes)
StockX
Authenticated marketplace for sneakers, streetwear, and collectibles
Transaction fee starts at 9% for new sellers and drops by 0.5% per seller level — verified trades and consistent activity earn level-ups.
Payment processing is a flat 3% applied to the item price only (StockX handles buyer shipping separately).
StockX provides a discounted FedEx shipping label after each sale. Enter what you actually pay for shipping under 'Your shipping cost' for accurate profit.
Authentication is included — no separate fee. Failed authentications return the item to the seller without payout.
Some category-specific rates (e.g., trading cards) may differ from the standard sneaker/streetwear rates shown here. Verify category before relying.
Last verified 2026-05-13Payout: Released after StockX authenticates and ships to buyer (typically 5-10 days from sale)
Etsy
Marketplace for handmade, vintage, and craft supplies
The $0.20 listing fee is charged each time an item is listed or renewed (every 4 months). This calculator counts it once per sale.
Transaction fee (6.5%) applies to the item price plus shipping the buyer pays. Sales tax is excluded from this fee.
Payment processing (3% + $0.25 for US sellers) is applied to the total amount the buyer pays. International rates differ.
Offsite Ads fee is only charged when a buyer clicks an Etsy ad off-platform (Google, Instagram, Facebook, etc.) and completes a purchase within 30 days.
Sellers with $10,000+ in sales over the trailing 365 days are auto-enrolled in Offsite Ads at the reduced 12% rate. Under that threshold the program is optional at 15%.
Offsite Ads fee is capped at $100 per order, regardless of sale size.
Etsy Plus ($10/month) bundles extra listing credits, custom packaging, and store features. Not modeled per-sale here.
International selling adds currency conversion and regional VAT charges in some markets — not factored into this calculator.
Last verified 2026-05-13Payout: Weekly deposits by default; configurable to daily, biweekly, or monthly
Depop
Social marketplace for vintage, streetwear, and youth fashion
Depop removed its 10% selling fee for sellers in 2024 — sellers now pay only the payment processing fee.
Payment processing (3.3% + $0.45) applies to the item price plus the shipping the buyer pays.
Buyers see a separate 'Marketplace Fee' added at checkout (varies by item value). This is paid by the buyer and does not reduce your payout.
Depop Boost (promoted listings) is optional — you set the ad rate and pay only on attributed sales. Not factored into base calculations here.
Depop's fee structure has changed multiple times in recent years. Verify current rates in Depop's seller help center before relying on this for high-value sales.
Last verified 2026-05-13Payout: 1-2 business days after shipment confirmation (US sellers)
Whatnot
Live commerce marketplace for collectibles, sneakers, and streetwear
Selling fee is 5% per shipment with a $0.40 minimum per order.
Local pickup transactions are FREE — Facebook Marketplace charges no fees when buyers and sellers arrange the pickup locally. This calculator models shipped sales only.
Payment processing is bundled into the 5% selling fee — there is no separate processing charge.
Buyers pay shipping at checkout for shipped items; that amount is included in the fee base.
Marketplace listings are cross-promoted to Facebook News Feed and Instagram for some categories, which increases reach but doesn't change fees.
Last verified 2026-05-13Payout: 5-10 business days after delivery confirmation (shipped orders)
Vinted charges sellers ZERO commission and no payment processing fees. Sellers receive 100% of the item price they set.
The Buyer Protection fee (typically 3-8%) is paid by the buyer at checkout — it does not reduce your payout.
Shipping is integrated via Vinted's carrier partners; the buyer pays for shipping at checkout. Sellers print a pre-paid label.
Vinted's zero-fee model is the distinguishing feature versus other resale marketplaces — buyer pool is smaller in the US (Vinted launched there in 2022) compared to eBay or Mercari.
Sellers can pay for optional Bump listings or 'Wardrobe Spotlight' promotion. Not factored into base calculations.
Last verified 2026-05-13Payout: Funds available 2 days after delivery confirmation
GOAT
Authenticated marketplace for sneakers, apparel, and luxury
Commission is 9.5% on the item price for Verified sellers (the default tier after a few successful sales).
New sellers may see a higher commission rate (up to 15%) during their first 5 sales — this calculator uses the standard 9.5% rate.
Cashing out to a bank account incurs a flat $5 fee per cashout, not per sale. This calculator applies it per-sale as a conservative estimate; if you batch payouts, your effective fee is lower.
GOAT provides a pre-paid shipping label to the seller after each sale. The cost varies by region and weight; enter your actual cost under 'Your shipping cost' for accurate profit.
Authentication is included — no separate fee. Failed authentications return the item to the seller without payout.
Apparel and luxury categories may have different commission rates than sneakers. Verify in your account dashboard before relying for high-value sales.
Last verified 2026-05-13Payout: Funds released after authentication and ship to buyer (typically 5-10 days)
Reverb
Marketplace for musical instruments and music gear
Selling fee (5%) applies to the item price plus shipping the buyer pays.
Payment processing (2.9% + $0.30) is applied to the buyer's total payment.
Bump (Reverb's promoted listings) is optional — sellers set their own ad rate. Not modeled in base calculations.
Direct Checkout is Reverb's standard payment method; alternative methods (PayPal, etc.) may have different processing.
Reverb is owned by Etsy but operates as an independent marketplace specialized for music gear, instruments, and audio equipment.
International buyers may incur currency conversion charges depending on the seller's payout currency.
Last verified 2026-05-13Payout: Direct Checkout funds available 1-3 business days after delivery
Frequently asked
Which marketplace has the lowest fees?
It depends on sale price and category. Etsy has the lowest base fee structure (6.5% transaction + 3%/$0.25 processing + $0.20 listing), but jumps to a much higher effective rate if a sale is attributed to Offsite Ads (12-15%). StockX is competitive on higher-value sneakers and streetwear, with seller-level discounts that bring the transaction fee down to 7% at Level 5. eBay's fees sit in the middle at ~13.25% for most categories. Mercari is 10% commission plus 2.9% + $0.50 processing. Poshmark's flat 20% above $15 is the highest of the major platforms.
Which marketplace pays out fastest?
Mercari leads on payout speed — direct deposit in 1-3 business days after the sale completes, or instant transfer for a fee. eBay holds funds for 2 days post-delivery confirmation. Poshmark requires waiting 3 days after the buyer receives the item. StockX releases funds after the item passes authentication (typically 5-10 days). Etsy defaults to weekly deposits but can be configured to daily, biweekly, or monthly.
Do platforms charge fees on shipping?
Most do. eBay's Final Value Fee applies to the full amount including shipping. Mercari's payment processing applies to item + shipping, though their 10% selling fee is on item price only. Etsy's 6.5% transaction fee includes shipping. Poshmark bundles everything into their commission. StockX is unusual — buyers pay shipping fees directly to StockX separately, so seller fees only apply to the item price.
Can I avoid Promoted Listings and Offsite Ads fees?
eBay's Promoted Listings Standard is fully optional — sellers can opt out and won't be charged. Etsy's Offsite Ads program is optional for sellers under $10,000 in trailing-365-day sales (at a 15% rate). Once you cross that threshold, you cannot opt out, but the rate drops to 12% and is capped at $100 per order.
Which platform is best for sneakers and streetwear?
StockX dominates this category with built-in authentication and a streetwear-focused buyer base. Their seller fees start at 9% but drop to 7% at Level 5 after consistent verified trades. eBay also has a special Athletic Shoes & Sneakers rate of 8% on items $150+, which is competitive but doesn't include authentication.
