Which Marketplace Has the Lowest Seller Fees in 2026?

April 5, 2026

Fees verified between October 20, 2026 and October 21, 2026

We compared fees across all 20 platforms on FeePilot to answer the question every reseller asks: which marketplace takes the smallest cut? The answer depends on what you sell, how you sell, and where your buyers are.

The Short Answer

For local sales, OfferUp is free (0%), and Meta's help page states no selling fee on Facebook Marketplace items picked up locally. For shipped items, Vinted and Depop (US) charge the least. But "lowest fees" doesn't always mean "most profit" — audience size and sell-through rate matter just as much.

Fees on a $50 item with no buyer-paid shipping, computed with the FeePilot calculator's engine at each platform's default category or seller level. Actual fees vary by category, seller level, and whether shipping is included in the fee base.

Best Platform by Category

Clothing & Fashion: Depop (lowest fees after Vinted) or Poshmark (largest fashion audience with strong sell-through)
Sneakers & Streetwear: StockX or GOAT — authentication builds buyer trust and commands premium prices
Vintage & Handmade: Etsy — the dominant marketplace for handmade, vintage, and craft supplies
General Items: eBay or Mercari — broadest categories and buyer reach
Children's Items: Mercari, Poshmark, Facebook Marketplace — Kidizen has closed
Local Sales: OfferUp — 0% fees for in-person sales; Facebook Marketplace — no selling fee on items picked up locally (Meta's help page)
Luxury & Designer: Vestiaire Collective — authentication and fee caps on high-value items

Fees Aren't Everything

A platform with higher fees but 10x the audience might net you more money. Consider:

Sell-through speed: Poshmark takes 20% but has a massive fashion audience with high sell-through. Items that sit for months on a cheaper platform cost you time and storage.
Audience match: eBay takes 13.6% but reaches basically everyone. Listing a niche item on a niche platform with tiny fees doesn't help if nobody sees it.
Shipping costs: Some platforms include shipping labels. Others don't. Factor in the total cost, not just the marketplace fee.
Your time: Cross-listing on 5 platforms takes effort. Sometimes picking 2-3 platforms with the best fit for your items is more profitable than chasing the lowest fee everywhere.
