How this comparison works
Every marketplace takes a different cut, and they don't all charge it the same way. This tool runs your item through each platform's 2026 US seller fees and shows what lands in your pocket. Here's what each one charges:
| Marketplace | Seller fee | Charged on |
|---|
| Depop | 0% commission + 3.3% + $0.45 processing | Item + buyer shipping |
| Mercari | 10% flat (no separate processing) | Item + buyer shipping |
| eBay | ~13.6% + $0.40/order | Item + buyer shipping |
| Poshmark | $2.95 under $15; 20% at $15+ | Item price only (prepaid label) |
Rates are standard US seller fees as of 2026 and can change; they vary by category, seller level and region. Shipping is assumed buyer-paid (net-neutral to you apart from the fee charged on it). A planning estimate, not financial advice — confirm in each app. Want Grailed, StockX, Whatnot, Walmart and more? Use the single calculators.
Frequently asked questions
Poshmark or Depop — where do I keep more selling clothes?
For US sellers, Depop is usually cheaper on fees: it dropped its selling commission, so you pay only ~3.3% + $0.45 processing, versus Poshmark's flat 20% on items $15+. On a $35 top that's roughly $1.60 vs $7.00 in fees. The catch is audience and shipping: Poshmark includes a prepaid label and has a big, engaged fashion community, so weigh fees against how fast each one sells for you.
Why does Poshmark's payout ignore the buyer-shipping box?
On Poshmark the buyer pays for a prepaid shipping label separately, and Poshmark's 20% is charged on the item price only — so the shipping the buyer pays doesn't change what you keep. On Depop, Mercari and eBay the platform fee is charged on the item plus the shipping the buyer pays, so a higher shipping price quietly raises your fee.
Should I list the same item on more than one app?
Lots of resellers do — listing everywhere and removing it once it sells. Just price it so it clears your break-even on whichever platform sells it (use this tool to check the worst case), and consider a cross-listing app to avoid posting the same item four times by hand.
Do these fees include taxes?
No. Sales tax is collected from the buyer by the marketplace and doesn't affect your payout. Whether you owe income tax depends on whether you sold items for more than you paid — reselling your own used clothes for less than the original price generally isn't taxable, even if you receive a 1099-K. This isn't tax advice; check with a professional for your situation.
