Net After Fees — know exactly what you keep — before you list.
Free seller fee calculators for eBay, PayPal, Etsy and Mercari. Every rate is sourced from the platform's own fee page and dated, so you never price off a stale number.
Why another fee calculator
Because most of them are quietly wrong. Marketplace fees change, calculators do not get updated, and you end up pricing a listing off a number that stopped being true a year ago.
The clearest example: plenty of tools still show Mercari at 0% seller fees. Mercari brought a 10% selling fee back on 2025-01-06. Price against 0% and every single sale quietly costs you 10%.
So every number here carries the platform's own source link and the date we last checked it. If a rate is uncertain, we say so instead of rounding it into a clean-looking answer. If we cannot confirm a rate from the platform itself, that calculator does not ship at all.
Not published yet, for exactly that reason: poshmark, depop — we could not confirm every fee from a primary source.
The same $100 sale, across every platform we cover
Identical sale, identical settings, all of them run through the same engine as the calculator above. The spread between cheapest and dearest is $10.02 on a single $100 order — 10.0% of the sale.
| Platform | Fees on $100 | Effective rate | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| PayPal | $3.98 | 3.98% | $96.02 |
| Etsy | $9.95 | 9.95% | $90.05 |
| Mercari | $10 | 10.00% | $90 |
| eBay | $14 | 14.00% | $86 |
Read this as a fee comparison, not a recommendation. eBay settles through its own managed payments now, so eBay sales no longer run through PayPal. This page is for the other cases — your own store, selling direct on social, or invoicing a client. And a marketplace charging more that actually puts your listing in front of buyers can still be the better place to sell — fees are one input to that decision, not the decision itself.
How we keep these rates from going stale
A fee calculator is only worth anything on the day its numbers are true. Most of them are accurate at launch and quietly rot from there, because nobody is paid to notice when a marketplace changes its pricing page. So the process here is deliberately boring and written down:
Every rate traces to the platform's own fee page
Not to a blog post, not to a competitor's calculator, not to a forum answer. Each calculator page carries the source links we read, so you can check our work in about a minute rather than taking it on trust.
Every rate carries the date it was last checked
All the numbers on this site were verified 2026-08-03. That date is printed on every page. If you are reading this a long time after it, treat the figures as a starting point and follow the source link — a dated number you can re-check beats an undated number you cannot.
Re-checked on a fixed cadence, not when someone remembers
Rates are reviewed every 90 days against the primary sources. Reviewing on a schedule is what stops a site like this from turning into the thing it was built to replace.
An unverifiable rate means no page, not a guess
2 platforms are written and ready to publish but held back, because we could not confirm every fee from the platform itself. Publishing a plausible-looking number we could not stand behind would earn traffic and cost sellers money. Where a specific fee is genuinely unknown, the page says so instead of filling the gap.
Reading your result properly
Two things worth understanding before you price anything off these calculators.
Net payout is not profit. Fees tell you what the platform keeps. What you keep depends on what the item cost you and what postage costs you, which is why every calculator here has boxes for both. A sale can clear its fees comfortably and still lose money once the label is bought.
Most platforms charge fees on shipping too. The selling fee is usually applied to the whole amount the buyer pays, including postage and, in some cases, sales tax. Offering free shipping does not avoid that; it just moves the postage inside the item price, where it is charged at exactly the same rate.
What should this become?
The calculator is free and stays free. What gets built on top of it is not decided yet — so rather than guess, we are asking. Tick whatever is actually true for you. One tick is one vote.
We keep your email address and which boxes you ticked. That is the whole list — no tracking pixels, no ad networks, nothing sold on. You will hear from us only when something has actually been built that is worth telling you about.
