What Every Reselling Platform Actually Charges (Mid-2026)
Fees are where reselling profit quietly dies — and they change constantly (TikTok Shop has changed its rate three times since launch). Here's the mid-2026 landscape; always confirm current rates in your seller dashboard.
| Platform | Fee (mid-2026) | On a $40 sale |
|---|---|---|
| Facebook local / cash | $0 | $0 |
| TikTok Shop | 6% (5% pre-owned/fine jewelry) | $2.40 |
| Facebook shipped | 10%, $0.80 min | $4.00 |
| Mercari | 10% | $4.00 |
| Whatnot | 8% + 2.9% + $0.30 | $4.66 |
| eBay (most categories) | ~13.6% + $0.40 | $5.84 |
| Poshmark | 20% (flat $2.95 under $15) | $8.00 |
What the table doesn't show
- Poshmark's 20% includes the shipping label — for heavy items it can beat "cheaper" platforms.
- Facebook local is the margin king — zero fees, but your costs are gas and time (track the mileage; it's deductible).
- TikTok Shop's 6% is before affiliate commissions — offer a creator 13% and your real take is ~19% off the top, plus sample costs.
The point
The right platform per item is math, not loyalty. Our Reseller HQ tracker has all these rates pre-loaded in editable cells — log the sale, see the true profit, and let your own data tell you where each category sells best.
