About the Facebook Marketplace Fee calculator

Our Facebook Marketplace fee calculator is a free tool that shows exactly what Facebook charges when you sell with shipping on Marketplace, and confirms that local pickup is always free. Facebook Marketplace is one of the largest consumer resale platforms in the world, and while the fee model is simple, the April 2024 increase from 5% to 10% caught many sellers off guard. This calculator applies the current rate so you can see your payout before you list.

How Facebook Marketplace's selling fee works.

Facebook Marketplace charges a 10% selling fee on shipped orders. This fee was introduced at 5% in 2020 and doubled to 10% on April 15, 2024. The fee applies to the item price the buyer pays through Facebook's checkout — shipping charges are handled separately and are not subject to the 10% commission.

The fee structure has one minimum: for items priced below $8.00, the fee is a flat $0.80 rather than the percentage. This is because 10% of $8.00 is exactly $0.80, so the minimum only applies for items under $8. An item priced at $8.00 exactly triggers the 10% rate (which equals the same $0.80), and any item above $8 pays 10% of whatever you listed it for. On a $100 item, the selling fee is $10.00 and you keep $90.00.

What the 10% fee covers.

Unlike platforms that charge a marketplace commission plus a separate payment-processing fee (like Etsy, eBay, or Reverb), Facebook's 10% is fully all-inclusive. It covers payment processing (credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal), buyer Purchase Protection, and Facebook's customer support. There is no additional card-processing fee on top. Your payout is simply 90% of your sale price for any item at $8 or above.

Local pickup is completely free.

If you sell locally on Facebook Marketplace and arrange for the buyer to pick up the item in person — without using Facebook's checkout — there is no selling fee of any kind. Facebook charges $0. The full item price goes directly to you through whatever payment method you agree on with the buyer (cash, Venmo, PayPal, etc.). This makes Facebook Marketplace one of the most cost-effective platforms for local transactions, where you can list and sell without paying any fees to Facebook at all. The calculator defaults to shipped but lets you switch to local pickup to confirm the $0 fee.

Facebook Shop and Instagram Shop fees.

Facebook Shops and Instagram Shops that use Meta's native checkout (not an external checkout integration) apply the same 10% selling fee. If you're a small business or creator selling through Instagram or Facebook Shop with Meta Checkout enabled, the fee is the same as Marketplace shipped orders. If your Shop links out to your own website for checkout, the 10% does not apply — you pay your own payment processor's rates instead.

Is Facebook Marketplace cheaper than eBay or Etsy?

For local pickup, Facebook Marketplace is free — significantly cheaper than eBay's ~13.6% final value fee or Etsy's ~9.5% combined fee. For shipped orders, the comparison is closer: Facebook's 10% all-inclusive fee compares to eBay's 13.6% FVF + $0.30–$0.40 per order (effectively 14–15% at typical prices) and Etsy's 6.5% transaction + 3% processing + $0.25 listing = around 9.5–10%. Facebook's 10% is broadly in the same range as Etsy for most price points. If you're comparing platforms for selling shipped goods, the pricing is competitive, though eBay has far more buyer traffic for collectibles and higher-value items while Facebook excels at home goods, furniture, and everyday consumer products with local buyer pools.

Tips for selling effectively.

For items under $8, be aware that the $0.80 minimum applies — the effective fee rate is actually higher than 10% at very low prices. A $3 item incurs a $0.80 fee, an effective take rate of about 26.7%. If you regularly sell low-priced items, local pickup avoids this entirely. For shipped items priced between $8 and $80, the 10% is straightforward. Use the optional item cost field to confirm whether any given sale is worth shipping after fees and your cost of goods.

Accuracy and verified fees.

The fee in this calculator — 10% selling fee for shipped orders, $0.80 minimum for items under $8, and $0 for local pickup — reflects the rate that took effect on April 15, 2024 and has been in effect since. This was verified on 2026-06-12 from Meta's Business Help Center and multiple secondary sources that reported the increase. Facebook has not announced any further changes to this structure as of the verification date. Check the official source linked below for any updates before making pricing decisions.
