Where to Sell Everyday Clothing in 2026: Vinted, Depop, Mercari, Poshmark or eBay?

Profitvana Editorial Team · Updated November 9, 2026

At $25 the percentage matters less than the fixed fee and the shipping. Poshmark's 20% is $5; Vinted's 0% is $0; eBay's 12.9% plus $0.40 is $4.17 before its fee on shipping; Depop's 3.3% + $0.45 is $1.28. And on a $25 item a $6 label is a bigger cost than any fee, which is why who pays shipping decides more than who charges what.

What you receive on each platform: $25 item, buyer pays $6 shipping, label costs you $6

Computed from each platform’s verified fee schedule in our registry, on the same sale, ranked by what lands in your account after fees and the label. Costs the schedule does not carry (optional promotion, returns, your time) are in the notes and the text below.

Why Vinted and Depop dominate this price band

Vinted moved its entire fee to the buyer and lets the buyer pay the label at checkout, so a $25 listing nets the seller $25. Depop's 3.3% + $0.45 processing is the next cheapest, and its buyer-paid marketplace fee of up to 5% + $1 keeps the seller's side light. Both platforms' audiences shop for exactly this: everyday secondhand at low prices, in volume, with bundles. Their weakness is the same thing: buyers expect low prices and send low offers.

Where the percentage platforms lose at $25

Poshmark's $2.95 flat fee under $15 is 20% at $14.99 and 37% at $8, and its 20% above $15 is the highest rate in the table; what it offers in return, brand-driven search and offers-to-likers, matters little for a basic item. eBay's 12.9% in clothing is charged on the shipping the buyer pays as well as the item, so a $25 sale with $6 shipping costs about $4.40 in fees, and eBay's clothing buyers expect returns. Mercari's flat 10% on item plus shipping is competitive and its audience is broad, which makes it the best of the percentage platforms for everyday items.

Bundle or walk away

Under about $10 no platform is worth the time once the label is counted: a $8 shirt with a $5 label nets $3 on Vinted and $0.37 on Poshmark. Bundling three or four items into one listing fixes the maths on every platform, and Vinted and Depop have built-in bundle discounts for exactly that. Below the bundle threshold, donation or a local Facebook sale is the rational choice.

Verdict

Single items under $30: Vinted, then Depop. Zero or near-zero fees match the price band.
Bundles and slightly better brands: Mercari at 10%, for the wider audience.
Poshmark and eBay only for pieces that search well by brand and sell above $30.

Frequently asked questions

Who pays shipping on Vinted and Poshmark?

The buyer, directly to the platform at checkout, in both cases. The seller prints the label and receives the item price. On Mercari, Depop and eBay the seller chooses whether to charge shipping or offer it free, and fees apply to shipping the buyer pays.

Is Poshmark's $2.95 fee cheaper than 20%?

Only right at $14.99, where $2.95 is 19.7%. At $8 it is 37%, at $5 it is 59%. The flat fee makes Poshmark the most expensive platform for cheap items.

How this page is computed

The table runs one realistic basket for this category through the fee schedule of each platform as held in our registry, where every schedule carries the official page it was read from and the date it was last checked; category-specific rates (eBay’s sneakers, electronics, clothing, books and guitars rates, StockX and Whatnot tiers, Grailed’s price bands) are applied where they change the result. Platforms not yet in the registry are discussed but not ranked. Rates move: the change log records each change and this table recomputes with it.
