Compare marketplace fees on the same product
Most sellers list on three or four platforms and assume the cheapest commission is the most profitable. That is only true when the sale price is the same, and it almost never is.
Enter one product below and see what you would actually keep on each platform after commission, payment processing, fixed fees, shipping and cost. Platforms are ranked by net profit, not by headline commission.

How to read this comparison
- Fixed fees punish cheap items. A $0.30 or $0.45 charge is 3% of a $15 sale and 0.2% of a $200 sale. Low-priced inventory belongs on platforms with percentage-only fees.
- Percentage fees punish expensive items. A 20% commission on a $200 sale is $40. High-ticket inventory belongs where the commission is small or absent.
- What the buyer pays is different from what you charge. Vinted adds a buyer protection fee, Poshmark bundles a flat shipping label. Conversion and final price move together.
- Compare net profit, not margin. A 40% margin on a $20 item is $8. An 18% margin on a $90 item is $16.
