Marketplace Fee Documentation & Frequently Asked Questions
Official 2026 fee schedules, commission matrices, store subscriptions, and margin calculation formulas for multi-channel e-commerce sellers.
What are the cheapest platforms to sell online in 2026?
In 2026, Depop (0% marketplace commission in US/UK), Mercari (10% flat), and standalone Shopify stores (0% commission, ~2.6%–2.9% payment processing) offer the highest net profit retention. For handmade goods, Etsy charges 6.5% + processing, while eBay averages 13.25% FVF, and Amazon averages 15% referral fees.
How do I calculate marketplace selling fees and profit margins?
To calculate net profit margin: (1) Total Revenue = Item Price + Buyer Shipping; (2) Total Fees = (Total Revenue × Commission %) + Fixed Per-Order Fee + Payment Processing + Ad Spend; (3) Net Profit = Total Revenue - Total Fees - Item Cost - Actual Shipping - Packaging; (4) Profit Margin % = (Net Profit / Total Revenue) × 100.
What is a reverse fee calculator?
A reverse fee calculator works backward from your required dollar profit or target margin percentage to determine the exact minimum listing price you must charge on marketplaces to cover all commissions, taxes, and shipping expenses without losing money.
Why do marketplaces charge fees on buyer shipping and sales tax?
Marketplaces like eBay and Etsy charge Final Value Fees on the total transaction amount (including shipping charged to the buyer and sales tax) to prevent fee avoidance (where sellers charge $0.01 for an item with $99.99 shipping) and to cover the merchant processing fees levied on the full credit card authorization total.
