Reseller fee calculator
Fees verified October 31, 2026
What one sale pays you on each marketplace. For resellers on eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop and Etsy: type what you paid and what you'll charge. Each marketplace's fees come off first, then the label, the packaging and what the item cost. What's left is what you keep, shown for all five side by side. The fees were verified on October 31, 2026 against each marketplace's official fee page.
Free, no sign-up. The first numbers are a wool overcoat from a thrift store: $14 to buy, $2 to clean, listed at $58. Change any of them.
Depop pays the most: $34.84.

Track every sale in a sheet
The Profit Tracker records each sale with these fees applied and totals the month, so you see which marketplace pays you most. Pro adds inventory aging and a one-page export for your accountant.
The Profit Calculator is the same engine in your own Google Sheet, with fee rows you can edit. Get it free.
One-time prices, no subscription. It is a formula-only Google Sheet with no scripts or add-ons, and it never connects to your marketplace accounts. Compare the editions.
Four questions
Why does the same sale pay a different amount on each marketplace?
Each marketplace charges its own mix of fees: a percentage of the price (some include the shipping you charge, some do not), a fixed amount per order, payment processing, and on Etsy a listing fee. Poshmark charges a flat fee under its threshold and a percentage above it. The calculator applies each marketplace's own rows, so the gap between the bars comes from each marketplace's own rates.
What does the ads rate do?
Promoted listings cost a percentage of the sale on top of the fees. The marketplaces do not charge it unless you opt in, so it starts at 0. Type the rate you pay and the calculator takes it off that marketplace's payout.
Why do my numbers differ slightly from the platform's own dashboard?
Timing differences, rounding, sales tax handling (tax is info-only here and never enters the fee math, while some platforms include it in their fee base), and ads or promo fees you didn't enter. Each fee row's Verified date and Source URL show exactly what was checked and when.
What about marketplaces outside the US, or a category with its own rate?
This page uses the US rates for the most common categories. The Profit Calculator and the Profit Tracker are Google Sheets, so you can add your own dated fee rows for a category rate, a store subscription or another country, and every sale after that date uses them.
