Calculate your Facebook Marketplace seller fees for both local and shipping sales. Determine your net earnings, profit margins, and break-even prices for selling items on Facebook Marketplace.
Cost to ship the item to the buyer
What you paid for the item
Facebook Marketplace offers two distinct selling methods with different fee structures. Local sales where buyers pick up items in person are completely free, while sales with shipping through Facebook checkout incur a 10% commission fee. Understanding these differences helps you maximize your profits.
Local Sales (Pickup)
0% fee - Completely free when buyers pick up items locally and pay with cash or external payment apps like Venmo or Cash App
Shipping Sales (Facebook Checkout)
10% commission on the total transaction amount (item price + shipping), with a minimum fee of $0.80 per shipment
Shipping Fee Formula
Selling Fee = max((Item Price + Shipping) × 10%, $0.80)
Here's how Facebook Marketplace fees work across different scenarios:
Example 1: $30 Local Sale
Selling Fee: $0.00 (local pickup is free)
Net Earnings: $30.00 (100% of sale price)
Example 2: $25 Item with Shipping
Selling Fee: $2.50 (10% of $25)
Net Earnings: $22.50 (90% of sale price)
Example 3: $5 Item with $3 Shipping
Selling Fee: $0.80 (minimum fee applies, as 10% of $8 = $0.80)
Net Earnings: $7.20 (90% of total)
