Facebook Marketplace Fees Explained
Facebook Marketplace fees are relatively simple, but it’s important to understand when fees apply and how they affect your payout, especially when selling with shipping.
Selling Fee for Shipped Orders
For items sold with shipping on Facebook Marketplace, Facebook charges a 10% selling fee on the total amount collected, which includes the item price, shipping charged to the buyer, and applicable tax. A minimum fee of $0.80 applies. Because the fee applies beyond just the item price, higher shipping or lower-priced items can be impacted more than sellers expect.
No Fee for Local Pickup
Local pickup orders on Facebook Marketplace currently have no selling fee. Sellers receive the full item price, making local pickup an attractive option, especially for large, heavy, or low-margin items where shipping would drastically reduce profit.
Seller-Paid Shipping Options
When offering shipping on Facebook Marketplace, sellers can either use Facebook’s prepaid shipping labels or ship items on their own. With Facebook shipping, the buyer pays for shipping at checkout, and tracking is handled automatically. Sellers who ship on their own are responsible for deciding what to charge the buyer, purchasing the label, and providing tracking.
Regardless of which shipping method is used, Facebook’s 10% selling fee applies to the total amount collected for shipped orders, including shipping charged to the buyer.
Refund Considerations
If a refund is issued, the buyer will receive either a full or partial refund, which may include the item price, shipping cost, and any applicable taxes. Depending on the situation, selling fees may not always be returned to the seller, especially when fees were charged on shipping or tax, making accurate pricing and clear listings especially important.
Detailed Fee Tables
Even though the Facebook Marketplace Calculator does all the calculations for you, understanding how Facebook Marketplace fees and shipping costs affect your payout is easier when you see the numbers side by side. The tables below show how earnings can vary depending on whether an item is shipped or sold via local pickup, as well as typical shipping costs sellers should plan for.
Shipped vs Local Pickup Earnings Comparison
Since there are no fees when you sell something with local pickup, it can be beneficial to see your earnings when you sell items on Facebook Marketplace with shipping and without. You’ll find a detailed earnings comparison chart below.
Note: The 10% selling fee in the shipped earnings column is applied to the item price only for simplicity. In practice, Facebook’s fee also applies to shipping collected (and applicable tax), which can slightly reduce earnings.
Shipping Rates for Common Items
Example Profit Calculation
Let’s look at a common Facebook Marketplace scenario using a small electronic item sold with Facebook shipping.
- Item: Bluetooth speaker
- Item Price: $60.00
- Shipping Charged to Buyer: $9.03
- Delivery Method: Shipped (Facebook Marketplace shipping)
Fee Breakdown
- Total collected from buyer: $69.03
- Facebook selling fee (10%): $6.90
- Shipping cost (passed through): $9.03
- Shipped earnings: $53.10
In this example, Facebook’s selling fee is calculated based on the total amount collected for the order. Understanding how this impacts your payout makes it easier to price items accurately and avoid surprises after a sale.Vendoo’s Facebook Marketplace Fee Calculator lets sellers quickly see how fees affect earnings, helping you choose the best pricing and fulfillment option before listing.
