Every figure is a dated snapshot taken from each marketplace's own published fee page — Amazon Seller Central, eBay, Etsy, Walmart Marketplace, Shopify, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, Vinted, TikTok Shop, Facebook/Meta Marketplace, Reverb, StockX, Bonanza and Temu. Marketplace fees change frequently, so each page shows the June 2026 snapshot date and links to the official source. Where a marketplace does not publish a single public rate (Temu), we show the reported range with a caveat and never invent a number. See our methodology for how the rankings and calculator are derived. Snapshot June 2026 - marketplaces change fees; verify on the official fee page before relying on these figures.
