What's your take-home after fees and shipping?
Listing helpers — templates & photo checklist
Good photos = faster sales and higher prices. Aim for 6–10 shots per item.
Workflow & reference — weekly rhythm, discount schedule, fees
If an item hasn't sold within the window, drop the price. Marketplaces boost items when you relist or lower.
| Days listed | Action | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 0–14 | Hold target price | Most organic views happen in first 2 weeks. |
| 15–30 | Drop 10%, refresh photos or title | Algorithms treat a price cut as a relist signal. |
| 31–60 | Drop 20–25%, cross-post elsewhere | You're in stale territory. Break the pattern. |
| 60+ | Go to minimum, or bundle with similar items | Capital stuck in stale inventory is worse than a small margin. |
| 90+ | Donate for the tax receipt | Storage and mental load aren't free. |
| Buy | Why |
|---|---|
| Known brands (Le Creuset, Patagonia, Pyrex, Lego, Coach, Stanley) | Named brands have comps. Comps = confidence. |
| Items with sold comps ≥ 3× your cost | Gives margin for fees, time, returns, bad photos. |
| Small, light, shippable items | Shipping ≤ $10 keeps margins healthy. |
| Large items with local demand (furniture, lamps) | Cash + pickup on FB Marketplace = zero fees. |
Skip: fragile glass you can't ship, generic fast-fashion, items with broken or missing parts (unless Lego, by weight/lot).

Fee excludes optional promoted-listing / seller-ads fees. Payment processing is bundled in for the marketplaces that charge it.
Reselling fee FAQ
Quick answers to the most common questions about platform fees and reseller profit.
What percentage does eBay take from a sale?
eBay charges approximately 13.25% of the final sale price plus $0.40 per listing. The rate varies by category and is calculated on the total amount the buyer pays, including shipping.
How much does Poshmark take from a sale?
Poshmark charges a flat $2.95 fee on sales under $15, and 20% on all sales $15 and over. Buyers pay for shipping via a prepaid label Poshmark provides.
What are Mercari's selling fees?
Mercari charges a 10% selling fee plus approximately 2.9% + $0.50 for payment processing — an effective combined rate of roughly 13% + $0.50 per transaction.
Does Facebook Marketplace charge fees?
Local pickup on Facebook Marketplace is completely free. For shipped items, Facebook charges 5% per shipment with a minimum fee of $0.40.
How do I calculate my reselling profit?
Net profit = Sale price − Platform fees − Shipping cost − Item cost. Selling a $75 item on Poshmark with an $8 cost: $75 − $15 (20% fee) − $0 shipping − $8 = $52 net profit, a 650% ROI.
What items are best to resell for profit?
Prioritize known brands (Le Creuset, Patagonia, Pyrex, Lego, Coach, Stanley) with eBay sold comps showing at least 3× your purchase price. Small, light items keep shipping under $10. Large furniture works as free local cash sales on Facebook Marketplace.
When should I discount a resale item that isn't selling?
Hold your price for 14 days. Drop 10% at day 15–30, 20–25% at day 31–60, and go to your minimum or bundle after 60 days. After 90 days, donate for the tax receipt — stale inventory and storage costs aren't free.
