What the data shows
- Vinted charges US sellers nothing; the buyer pays a separate fee. Depop charges no selling fee in the US, only 3.3% + $0.45 payment processing.
- eBay keeps $14 of a $100 sale in most categories: 13.6% plus a $0.40 order fee. Poshmark keeps $20.
- Shipping changes the math. eBay, Mercari and Facebook take their percentage of the shipping the buyer pays too. On $10 of shipping that is another $1.36 on eBay and $1.00 on Mercari or Facebook.
- Fees are not the whole story. A platform with lower fees and fewer buyers can still pay you less if the item sits.
How we measured
Each platform's own US fee page, read October 15, 2026. Scenario: fees on the $100 item price only, with shipping and sales tax left out of the math, standard seller with no store subscription, promoted listings, boosts or offsite ads. eBay uses the most-categories rate. Whatnot uses its base-tier 8% commission (categories differ, and rates drop as sales grow). Etsy includes its $0.20 listing fee. Poshmark's page does not say how shipping is treated; we read it as outside the fee.
