Facebook Marketplace fee schedule (2026)
| Fee | Amount | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | $0 | Every listing |
| Local pickup sale | 0% | Buyer collects in person, cash or arranged payment |
| Shipped sale | 10% of total | Item + shipping, minimum $0.80 per order |
| Payment processing | $0 (included) | No separate processing charge |
For shipped sales, Facebook’s selling fee is deducted from your payout automatically. The fee is based on the total your buyer pays, so the shipping you charge is part of the fee base — a $50 item with $10 charged shipping has a $60 fee base, not $50.
What you keep on a $50 sale
| Sale type | Fees | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| Local pickup ($50) | $0.00 | $50.00 |
| Shipped ($50, no shipping charged) | $5.00 | $45.00 |
| Shipped ($50 + $10 shipping charged) | $6.00 | $54.00 |
| Small shipped sale ($5) | $0.80 | $4.20 |
The shipped $50 + $10 row is the one people miss: the buyer paid $60 in total, so you keep $54.00 after the $6.00 fee. The $0.80 minimum only matters on very small orders — a $5 shipped sale costs $0.80, not $0.50.

How to pay less in Facebook Marketplace fees
- Sell locally when you can. Local pickup is the only free way to sell on a major marketplace — for furniture and other bulky items, local is both the cheapest and the fastest route. See our guide to selling furniture locally (coming with the Phase 2 guides).
- Keep shipping charged low on shipped sales. The 10% applies to item + shipping, so every extra dollar you charge for shipping adds $0.10 to the fee. Price the item to absorb shipping where you can.
- Compare before you ship. On a $50 sale, Facebook shipped ($5.00) ties Mercari and beats eBay ($7.20) — check the Facebook Marketplace vs eBay comparison for the full trade-off.
- Use the calculator first. Run any sale through the Facebook Marketplace fee calculator before you list, so the fee is in your price, not your profit.
