Calculate fees, net profit, and ROI for Mercari, Rakuma, PayPay Flea Market, eBay, and more.
Selling on marketplaces like Mercari, Yahoo Auctions, eBay, Poshmark, Depop, and similar platforms involves multiple layers of fees: listing fees (sometimes), final value fees (a percentage of the sale), payment processing fees (often included or charged separately), and sometimes shipping or promotional fees. The combined cut can range from 10% to 25%+ of the gross sale, often more than sellers realize when listing items.
This calculator helps sellers see the actual net per sale across different platforms. Input gross sale price and the calculator returns the net after fees, the effective fee percentage, and a side-by-side comparison if comparing platforms. For pricing items, the inverse calculation gives the listing price needed to net a target amount.
Fee structures change periodically and vary by category, seller tier, and promotional period. The calculator covers common defaults; check the current fee schedule of your specific marketplace for authoritative numbers.
Pricing decisions on marketplaces need to account for the platform's cut. A $50 item sold on Mercari yields about $43 net after their 10% sales fee; on eBay with payment processing the same item nets less. Listing without knowing the actual take-home leads to systematic underpricing.
Comparing platforms also benefits from explicit fee math. Each marketplace has different fee structures, and the cheapest one for a $20 item may not be the cheapest for a $200 item. The calculator surfaces these crossovers.
Select the platform, enter the price, see the net.
