Flippd HelpWhat are the selling fees for eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, and other platforms?
Here are the fees Flippd uses to calculate your profit for each selling platform. Fees are applied automatically when you record a sale, using the platform's current structure.
Fee Structure Types
Flippd supports two fee structure types:
- Simple -- a base percentage with optional per-order fixed fee, payment processing fee, and minimum fee
- Tiered -- the fee changes based on the sale price (e.g., a flat fee under a threshold and a percentage above it)
A fee can combine several components:
| Component | What It Is |
|---|---|
| Base percentage | Percentage of the gross sale (e.g., 13.6%) |
| Fixed fee | Per-order flat charge (e.g., $0.40 per transaction) |
| Payment processing | Separate processor fee, often percentage + per-order amount |
| Minimum fee | Floor charged when the calculated fee would otherwise be lower |
| Tiers | Different fees based on sale price ranges |

Worked Examples
eBay -- $50 sale 13.6% × $50 = $6.80, plus $0.40 per order → $7.20 fee
Poshmark tiered -- $10 sale Falls in the under-$15 tier → $2.95 flat fee
Poshmark tiered -- $40 sale Falls in the $15+ tier → 20% × $40 = $8.00 fee
Etsy -- $30 sale 6.5% × $30 = $1.95, plus $0.25 transaction, plus 3% × $30 = $0.90 → $3.10 fee
FB Marketplace -- $5 sale 10% × $5 = $0.50, below the $0.80 minimum → $0.80 fee
Good to Know
- Flippd applies these fees automatically when you record a sale -- no manual math
- You can enter a custom fee amount for promotional rates, eBay Store-subscription discounts, or category-specific rates (e.g., eBay's lower fees for certain categories)
- Most marketplaces collect and remit sales tax to buyers on your behalf -- this is not a fee to you and is not part of platform fees. Use the Taxes field only when you are remitting sales tax
- Extras like eBay Promoted Listings, Etsy Offsite Ads, or shipping label upcharges aren't part of base fees -- record them as Adjustments
- Booth / Market commissions vary by mall, so the default is 0% -- edit the platform under Settings > Customize Data > Platforms to enter your mall's rate
- Platform fees change periodically -- the default rates are updated in app releases, so always verify with the platform for the latest rates
- Custom platforms support the full structure: percentage, fixed fee, payment processing, minimum fee, and tiers
