Why Niche Matters for Fees

A generic fee calculator treats every sale the same. Your niche does not. Trading cards on eBay are charged 13.25% while most categories pay 13.6% — a small gap that compounds across hundreds of cards. Sneakers over $150 on eBay drop to an 8% final value fee with no per-order charge, which changes the platform ranking entirely. Coins on Whatnot pay 4% commission while fashion pays 8% at the same tier.

These niche pages exist so you never have to translate generic advice into your world. Instead of wondering whether the eBay calculator’s “most categories” rate applies to your inventory, you will get the exact rate, the exact calculator preset and the exact platform ranking for what you sell.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which platform is best for sneaker resellers?

It depends on the shoe’s value. For sneakers under $150, StockX Level 1’s 23% effective fee on a $50 sale is steep — eBay at 13.6% plus $0.40 often keeps you more. Over $150, eBay’s athletic shoe rate drops to 8% with no per-order fee, which is hard to beat. Run your pair through the calculators hub to compare.

Where should clothing resellers list first?

For fees alone, Depop (4.2% effective on $50) beats Poshmark (20%) and Mercari (10%). But Poshmark buyers often pay higher prices for brands, which can offset the fee gap. Most clothing resellers cross-list on two or three platforms and let the fee comparisons decide per item.

What is the cheapest way to sell furniture?

Local pickup with $0 platform fees: Facebook Marketplace charges nothing for local pickup sales, and cash deals skip fees entirely. Once you ship furniture, the 10% shipped fee (minimum $0.80) applies — still cheaper than most platforms, but the real win is avoiding shipping costs on heavy items.

Do live sellers pay different fees?

Yes. Whatnot charges commission by category and your 28-day sales tier — from 8% at Standard down to 4–6.5% at higher tiers — plus 2.9% + $0.30 payment processing. TikTok Shop’s referral fee (6% published, 8% reported) plus any creator affiliate commission applies to live commerce there too.
