Profit Calculator FAQ

How is reselling profit calculated?

Profit = Sale Price - Purchase Price - Platform Fees - Shipping Costs. Our calculator automatically applies the correct fee percentage for each platform, so you get an accurate estimate of your take-home profit.

What platform fees does this calculator include?

We include fees for eBay (13.25%), Poshmark (20% or $2.95), Mercari (10%), Facebook Marketplace (0%), Depop (10%), Etsy (6.5%), and many more. Fees are updated regularly when platforms change their rates.

What is a good profit margin for reselling?

Most successful resellers aim for 50-100% ROI (return on investment). A 30% profit margin is considered good, while 50%+ is excellent. However, margins vary by category - electronics often have lower margins while vintage clothing can have higher returns.

How do I calculate ROI (Return on Investment)?

ROI = (Net Profit ÷ Purchase Price) × 100%. For example, if you bought an item for $10 and made $15 profit after fees, your ROI is 150%. Our calculator shows this automatically for every calculation.

Should I include shipping costs in my calculations?

Yes! Shipping costs you pay (not what the buyer pays) should be included to get accurate profit. If you offer free shipping, enter your shipping cost. If the buyer pays shipping separately, enter $0 as your shipping cost.

Which platform has the lowest seller fees?

Facebook Marketplace and Vinted have 0% seller fees for local sales. Bonanza (3.5%) and Etsy (6.5%) have lower fees than major platforms. However, lower fees don't always mean more profit - consider audience size and item fit.

How accurate is this profit calculator?

Our calculator uses current platform fee rates and provides accurate estimates for standard transactions. Actual fees may vary slightly based on factors like eBay store subscriptions, promoted listings, or payment processing. Use custom fees for precise calculations.

Can I save or share my calculation?

Yes! Click the 'Share Results' button to copy a link with your calculation. The link includes all your inputs, so anyone who opens it will see the same numbers. Great for discussing deals with sourcing partners or getting advice.

Mercari Fee Calculator FAQ

What is Mercari's seller fee?

Mercari charges a 10% selling fee plus 2.9% + $0.50 payment processing fee. For a $50 item, you'd pay $5 (10%) + $1.95 (2.9% + $0.50) = $6.95 in total fees.

Is Mercari cheaper than eBay?

Mercari's total fees (10% + 2.9% + $0.50) come to about 13.4% plus the fixed fee. eBay is 13.25% + $0.30. They're very similar, but shipping costs differ. Compare specific items with our calculator.

Does Mercari charge fees on shipping?

No, Mercari's 10% fee is only on the item price, not shipping. However, you pay for shipping either through prepaid labels or your own carrier.

What are Mercari's prepaid shipping label prices?

Mercari prepaid labels range from $4.99 (up to 4oz) to $15.50 (up to 5lbs). FedEx and UPS options are available for heavier items.

Can I sell locally on Mercari?

Yes! Mercari Local lets you sell to nearby buyers with no shipping costs. You still pay the 10% + payment processing fee, but avoid all shipping expenses.

How does Mercari compare to Poshmark?

Mercari's ~13% total fee is lower than Poshmark's 20%, but Poshmark includes prepaid shipping. For fashion items, compare final profits. Mercari is better for general merchandise.
