Meta charges a 10% selling fee per shipment (minimum $0.80) on shipped Marketplace checkout orders — this covers payment processing too. Local pickup sales are free. (The fee was 5% / $0.40 in earlier years; verify your dashboard.) Fees checked Aug 13, 2026 against the official Facebook Marketplace fee schedule. Last fee change Aug 13, 2026.
How Facebook Marketplace fees work
For shipped checkout orders on Facebook Marketplace, Meta charges a 10% selling fee per shipment (with a $0.80 minimum), applied to the full transaction total including shipping. Local pickup sales have no fee at all.
This calculator applies the 10% selling fee; if you only sell via local pickup, your fee is zero.
Example: what you keep on Facebook Marketplace
Here is what Facebook Marketplace’s fees look like at a few common sale prices, before your own product and shipping costs:
| Sale price | Facebook Marketplace fees | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| $25.00 | - $2.50 | $22.50 |
| $100.00 | - $10.00 | $90.00 |
| $500.00 | - $50.00 | $450.00 |

Facebook Marketplace fees, broken down
- Selling fee — 10.00% of each sale (item plus the shipping you charge).
Two kinds of Marketplace sale, two different costs
Facebook Marketplace is really two systems. Local sales — where the buyer messages you, meets you and pays cash or by a payment app — carry no Meta fee at all; Marketplace is a free classifieds board for those. Shipped sales with checkout on Facebook, available to US sellers, route payment through Meta and carry the selling fee this calculator models: 10% of the transaction total including shipping, with a minimum of $0.80 per shipment, and that fee includes payment processing. There is no listing fee and no subscription in either mode.
The 10% rate replaced the 5% (minimum $0.40) fee Meta charged from 2020 into 2024, and many articles still quote the old figure. Meta's help centre and the seller dashboard show the current rate; if your dashboard shows a different number under a promotional programme, enter that instead.
Costs beyond the fee
Shipping on checkout orders is either prepaid by the buyer at your listed rate or covered by a Meta-provided label whose cost is deducted from your payout, so under-pricing shipping comes out of your side. Payouts to a bank account arrive after delivery plus a holding period that is longer for new sellers. Chargebacks and 'item not received' claims on checkout orders are decided by Meta's purchase-protection rules, and sellers without tracking usually lose them — tracking is the cheapest insurance you can buy on Marketplace.
How Facebook Marketplace compares
For local sales nothing is cheaper than free, and Marketplace has displaced Craigslist for furniture, appliances and vehicles for that reason. For shipped sales, 10% all-in sits between eBay's 13.6% + $0.40 and Mercari's 10% (which excludes the buyer-paid protection fee) and well below Poshmark's 20%. Marketplace lacks eBay's buyer pool for collectibles and its search reach, so most sellers use it for local, bulky and low-value items and ship higher-value goods elsewhere.
How Much Does Facebook Marketplace Take?
The short answer: for shipped orders with checkout, Meta takes 10% of the total per shipment, with a minimum of $0.80 — so $10 on a $100 sale. Local pickup sales cost nothing. A large share of the guides ranking for this question still say 5%, which is the rate from earlier years and understates the cost of every shipped sale by half. Here is the current schedule and what it does to your margin.
The one fee: 10% per shipment, $0.80 minimum
Facebook Marketplace charges a single selling fee when a buyer pays through Marketplace checkout and the item ships. Meta's published rate is 10% of the transaction total per shipment — item price plus the shipping charged to the buyer — with a floor of $0.80 per shipment. The fee already covers payment processing, so there is no separate card or payout charge on top.
The minimum matters more than it looks. On anything under $8, the $0.80 floor is a higher percentage than 10%: a $5 phone case costs you $0.80 in fees, which is 16% of the sale. Below that price point Marketplace is not the cheap option it appears to be.
| Sale type | Fee |
|---|---|
| Shipped order via checkout | 10% of total, minimum $0.80 per shipment |
| Local pickup (cash, or paid outside checkout) | $0 |
| Payment processing | Included in the 10% |
| Listing fee | None |
Worked examples
Free-shipping sales at five price points, before your own item and packaging costs. The $5 row shows the minimum fee taking over:
| Sale price | Fee | Effective rate | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5 | $0.80 (minimum) | 16.0% | $4.20 |
| $8 | $0.80 | 10.0% | $7.20 |
| $25 | $2.50 | 10.0% | $22.50 |
| $100 | $10.00 | 10.0% | $90.00 |
| $250 | $25.00 | 10.0% | $225.00 |
Why so many sites still say 5%
For several years Meta's shipped-order fee was 5% per shipment with a $0.40 minimum, and the number spread across every fee-comparison article on the web. Meta later doubled both figures. Most of those articles were never revisited, and a reader searching in 2026 is more likely to land on a stale 5% than the current 10%.
We found and corrected the same error in our own database in August 2026, and we log it on our fee changes tracker alongside the other rates that are still widely misreported. If a guide you are reading quotes 5%, treat everything else on that page with suspicion too.
Facebook Marketplace against the other resale apps
On a $100 shipped sale, Marketplace's 10% sits in the middle of the resale pack — the same as Mercari, half of Poshmark, and well above Depop's processing-only fee for US sellers. The comparison flips under $15, where Poshmark's flat $2.95 and Depop's $0.45 fixed fee change the ranking.
Two things the table does not capture: on Marketplace, local pickup is genuinely free, which no other app offers; and Marketplace buyers skew toward local, cash-in-hand purchases, so a seller who wants zero fees can often get them by declining to ship at all.
| Platform | Fee on a $100 shipped sale | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Depop (US) | $3.75 | 3.3% + $0.45 processing only |
| Facebook Marketplace | $10.00 | 10%, $0.80 minimum |
| Mercari | $10.00 | 10% on item + shipping |
| eBay | $14.00 | 13.6% + $0.40 |
| Poshmark | $20.00 | 20% over $15 |
Keeping more of each sale
Offer local pickup where it is practical — it is the only fee-free route. For shipped items, avoid listing anything under about $8 individually; bundle small items so the 10% rate, not the $0.80 minimum, applies. And price shipping realistically: the 10% is charged on the shipping you collect as well as the item, so under-charging for postage costs you twice.
