Cheap fees vs real reach
A 0% fee on a marketplace with no buyers earns you nothing. The right question is fee per actual sale:
- Handmade / craft -> Etsy brings buyers who want handmade, worth the ~9.5%.
- Used clothing -> Vinted and Depop are cheap and have the audience.
- Sneakers / hype -> StockX bundles authentication into its 8-12.5%.
- Instruments -> Reverb is 5% with a $500 cap and a specialist crowd.
- New branded goods at scale -> Amazon and Walmart cost more but convert volume.
Watch the hidden costs
The headline rate is rarely the whole story. eBay and Amazon charge the percentage on shipping too; Etsy adds a mandatory Offsite Ads fee above $10k/year; TikTok Shop’s real cost climbs once you pay creator commissions. Always run your own numbers in the profit calculator.
