Facebook Marketplace Fee Calculator

Facebook Marketplace fees depend on whether you're selling locally or shipping items. Local pickup sales — where the buyer meets you in person to exchange the item for cash or another payment method — have zero platform fees. Facebook charges nothing for facilitating local transactions. This makes Facebook Marketplace one of the only major platforms where you can sell with absolutely no cost.

For shipped orders processed through Facebook's checkout system, the fee is 5% of the sale price or a flat $0.40, whichever is greater. This 5% rate is all-inclusive — it covers payment processing, platform fees, and buyer/seller protection. At 5%, Facebook Marketplace has the lowest shipped-order fee of any major platform, significantly undercutting Amazon (15%), eBay (13.25%), and even Depop (3.3% + $0.45). For a $50 shipped item, the fee is just $2.50.

The trade-off for these low fees is a more limited selling infrastructure. Facebook Marketplace doesn't offer fulfillment services, advanced seller analytics, or the same level of buyer trust that established ecommerce marketplaces provide. Shipped orders require sellers to provide their own packaging and shipping, purchase labels through Facebook or their preferred carrier, and manage customer service largely on their own. The platform also has less robust seller protection compared to eBay or Amazon — disputes can be harder to resolve, and the buyer audience includes a wider range of experience levels. Still, for sellers who can manage their own logistics, the 5% rate makes Facebook Marketplace an extremely cost-effective channel.
