Understanding fee structures across marketplaces helps you price products correctly and choose the right platforms for your products.
Amazon
Monthly subscription plus referral fee (typically 15 percent) plus FBA fees (pick, pack, ship, storage). Total cost per unit varies by size and weight.
eBay
Monthly subscription plus final value fee (typically 10 to 13 percent, reduced for Top Rated sellers). No fulfilment fees unless using eBay Fulfilment.
Etsy
Listing fee per listing, transaction fee of 6.5 percent, and payment processing fee. No monthly subscription for basic shop.
TikTok Shop
Commission fee of 5 percent for most categories. Lower than traditional marketplaces but the platform is still maturing.
Your Own Website
Shopify subscription plus payment processing (typically 2 to 3 percent). No marketplace commission. Lowest per-transaction cost but you pay for your own marketing.
