Facebook Marketplace Fee Calculator
Selling locally on Facebook Marketplace is free. For shipped orders, Meta charges a selling fee of 10% of the total — item price plus shipping — with a minimum of $0.80 per order. On a $50 shipped sale the fee is $5.00 and your payout is $45.00 before your item and shipping costs; a local pickup sale of the same item pays no fee at all.

Worked Example: a $50 Shipped Facebook Sale
A $50 item sold with shipping, free shipping for the buyer, $10 item cost and $5 actual shipping cost:
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Sale price | $50.00 |
| Selling fee (10% of total) | −$5.00 |
| Total fees | −$5.00 |
| Your payout | $45.00 |
| Item cost | −$10.00 |
| Your shipping cost | −$5.00 |
| Net profit 60.0% margin | $30.00 |
Sold locally instead, the same item pays $0 in fees: payout $50.00 and net profit $40.00 (you also skip the shipping cost, unless you deliver).

How to Calculate Facebook Marketplace Fees
Shipped: fees = 10% × (item price + shipping charged), with a minimum of $0.80 per order. Local pickup: fees = $0.
Your payout is the order total minus the fee. Net profit subtracts your item cost and, for shipped orders, what postage really cost you. The minimum fee is the catch on small shipped orders: $0.80 on a $5 item is a 16% fee rate — worse than eBay's standard categories.
How to keep more of every Facebook sale
Default to local for bulky items. Furniture, bikes and appliances are expensive to ship and free to sell locally. Local pickup is the only zero-fee channel on any major platform.
Mind the $0.80 minimum on shipped items. Under about $8, the minimum fee beats 10% and eats margin fast. Bundle small items into one shipped order so the minimum applies once.
Price shipped items like a 10% platform — because it is one. A shipped Facebook sale costs exactly what a Mercari sale costs in fees (10%). Use the same target prices, and keep eBay's 13.6% + $0.40 as the comparison.
Don't undercharge for shipping. The fee applies to the shipping you charge, but at 10% that's minor next to paying postage out of pocket because your estimate was low. Weigh and measure first.
Facebook Marketplace Fee Calculator FAQs
How much does Facebook Marketplace take from a $50 sale?
For a shipped order, $5.00 — the 10% selling fee — leaving a $45.00 payout before your costs. For a local pickup sale, Facebook takes nothing: the full $50 is yours (before your item cost).
Is Facebook Marketplace free for local sales?
Yes. Local pickup listings carry no selling fee. Fees only apply when an order is shipped through Facebook's checkout, which is also where buyer and seller protections apply.
What is Facebook Marketplace's minimum selling fee?
$0.80 per shipped order. On orders under $8 the minimum is more than 10%, which makes very cheap shipped items disproportionately expensive to sell — bundle them or sell them locally.
Does the 10% fee apply to shipping?
Yes. For shipped orders the fee is calculated on the total the buyer pays — item price plus shipping (and tax). Charging more for shipping does not reduce your fee bill in any meaningful way.
Facebook Marketplace vs eBay: which is cheaper?
For shipped orders, Facebook's flat 10% beats eBay's 13.6% + $0.40 in most categories — $5.00 vs $7.20 on a $50 sale. For local sales there is no contest: Facebook charges nothing. Compare both in the all-platform comparator.
