Fee guide

How much do Depop, Mercari, and Poshmark actually keep?

All three of these resale marketplaces changed their seller-fee structure in the last two years, and a lot of the advice still floating around online hasn’t caught up. Two of the three fee structures below are genuinely different from what most general knowledge assumes — worth reading before you decide where to list.

Depop: commission-free since 2024

Depop eliminated its old 10% seller commission entirely in July 2024. Today, US sellers pay 0% commission plus a 3.3% + $0.45 payment-processing fee, charged on your item price plus whatever shipping you charge the buyer. If you use Depop’s optional Boosted Listings feature, there’s an additional fee on top when the item sells through the boost — that rate rose from 8% to 12% in March 2026. A separate buyer-side service fee (up to 5% + $1) exists too, but buyers pay that on top of your price — it never touches your payout.

Mercari: simpler now, not more expensive

Mercari charges a flat 10% of your item price plus buyer-paid shipping — no tiers, no listing fee. What changed: Mercari removed its separate 2.9% + $0.50 payment-processing fee in January 2025. If you’re used to budgeting for both charges, only the 10% applies now — the processing fee is gone, not stacked on top.

Poshmark: unchanged, and structured differently

Poshmark’s fee hasn’t changed: $2.95 flat on sales under $15, or a flat 20% commission on sales of $15 and up. No processing fee, no listing fee. The structural difference worth knowing: Poshmark’s fee is based on your item price only, not shipping. That’s because Poshmark handles shipping itself — it provides a prepaid label to the buyer at its own fixed price, rather than letting you set a shipping charge that flows into your payout the way Depop and Mercari do.

A worked example

Say you list a $50 item with $8 shipping on all three platforms. Mercari’s fee is 10% of the $58 total — $5.80, paying you $52.20. Depop’s fee is 3.3% of $58 plus $0.45 — $2.36, paying you $55.64 (before any optional boost fee). Poshmark ignores the $8 shipping entirely and charges 20% of the $50 item price — $10.00, paying you $40.00. Same item, same shipping charge, a real $15.64 spread between the best and worst payout — driven as much by each platform’s fee structure as by its headline rate.

What this calculator doesn’t include

• Buyer-side fees: Depop’s and Mercari’s separate buyer service fees are paid by the buyer on top of your price — they don’t reduce your payout, so they’re deliberately left out.
• Your actual postage cost: the shipping you charge the buyer isn’t the same as what you pay to actually ship the item — this tool compares platform fees on the amount you set, not your real shipping expense.
• Promoted-listing tools on Mercari/Poshmark: both platforms have their own optional visibility features; only Depop’s Boosted Listings is modeled here, per the brief this tool was built against.

Disclaimer

This calculator reflects each platform’s seller-fee structure as independently verified against multiple current sources at the time of writing — no single official page from any of the three platforms was directly citable for all the numbers above. All three platforms can change their fee structures at any time; always verify the exact fee shown at checkout on the platform itself before finalizing a listing.
