# Selling platform fees, head to head

Two platforms per page: what you keep at every price from $5 to $100, with shipping and sales tax, where the cheaper one changes, and each platform's fee rules side by side.

Mercari, Poshmark and TikTok Shop: read from their own fee pages on Oct 19, 2026. eBay: per our saved copies of its fee pages from Oct 14, 2026 (we don't fetch that site). Depop, Whatnot and Etsy: as last read on Oct 14, 2026; their help pages now block automated readers, so these rates wait for a check by hand.

## What you keep on a $25 sale

Item price only: no shipping charged, no sales tax. eBay at its most-categories rate, Whatnot at its standard tier, Etsy with its listing fee, TikTok Shop at its most-categories rate, Depop without Boosted Listings.

*Computed with the same code as the fee calculators, from each platform's own fee page; when and how each was last read is under the heading above.*

The Reseller Index

Researched and drafted with AI assistance from each platform's and carrier's own published pages. A full-time reseller runs The Reseller Index and will edit every newsletter issue once the newsletter starts. Every number links to its source and carries the date we checked it. Spot an error? [Tell us](https://resellerindex.com/corrections/) and we'll fix it in the public corrections log.

General information, not tax, legal or financial advice. Not affiliated with or endorsed by eBay, Amazon, Mercari, Poshmark, Depop, Whatnot, Etsy, TikTok Shop, USPS, the IRS or the software companies whose prices we track; their names belong to them.
