Marketplace fees

Facebook Marketplace Fee Calculator

The selling fee on shipped Marketplace orders, and why local pickup sales keep every dollar.

Facebook Marketplace fee = sale price × 5% selling fee, with a $0.40 minimum per order. The fee applies only to orders sold with shipping and checkout; local pickup sales paid in cash or a peer-to-peer app cost nothing. Sell a $25 item with shipping and Meta keeps $1.25, paying out $23.75. On cheap items the minimum takes over: a $6 sale pays the $0.40 floor, an effective 6.7%. Meta has changed this fee before, so both the rate and the minimum are editable. Enter your price to see the fee and your payout, and compare the same item on eBay or Mercari before choosing where to list.

Worked examples

A $25 shipped order

Sale price $25.00
Selling fee 5%
Minimum fee $0.40
Selling fee $1.25
You keep $23.75

Meta keeps $1.25 of a $25 checkout sale; local pickup would keep it all.

A $6 item under the minimum

Sale price $6.00
Selling fee 5%
Minimum fee $0.40
Selling fee $0.40
You keep $5.60

5% would be 30¢, so the $0.40 minimum applies: 6.7% effective on a cheap item.

Frequently asked questions

Does Facebook Marketplace charge fees for local pickup?

No. The selling fee applies only to orders sold with shipping and checkout, where Meta processes the payment. Local pickup deals paid in cash or through an outside payment app cost nothing, which is why high-value furniture and appliance flippers stay local: 5% of a $400 dresser is a $20 fee that pickup avoids entirely.

When does the $0.40 minimum fee apply?

On shipped orders under $8. Below that price, 5% of the sale would be less than $0.40, so Meta charges the flat minimum instead. A $6 sale pays $0.40, an effective 6.7%, and a $3 sale pays 13.3%. Cheap items are the worst deal on shipped checkout; consider bundling low-value pieces into one listing so the percentage rate applies.

Does the selling fee include payment processing?

Yes. The single selling fee covers payment processing, so there is no separate card charge stacked on top the way marketplaces like Mercari or Depop split them. What it does not cover is shipping: if you offer free shipping, the label cost comes out of your side, so subtract it from the "you keep" number this calculator shows.

Have Facebook Marketplace fees changed?

Yes, and they will again. Meta has run promotional periods with reduced or waived selling fees and has adjusted the standard rate over time, which is why both the percentage and the minimum are editable fields here rather than fixed numbers. Verify the current rate in Meta's commerce help pages before pricing inventory around any default on this page.
