Common questions
$0.20 listing fee per item, 6.5% transaction fee on the total sale including shipping, 3% + $0.25 payment processing, and optionally 12–15% for offsite ads.
Yes. Both the 6.5% transaction fee and 3% + $0.25 payment processing apply to the item price plus the shipping you charge the buyer. Free shipping does not reduce your fees.
Shops earning under $10,000/year can opt out. Shops earning over $10,000/year are required to participate at the 12% rate. The 15% rate applies to lower-volume shops that participate.
Start with your true cost (materials + packaging + labor). Multiply by 3–4 for a retail price. Then use this calculator to verify your margin after fees. Aim for at least 30% net profit margin.
