How the marketplace fee comparison works

The calculator runs the same product through the published US seller fees of four marketplaces and shows every fee line, the net payout and your profit. It runs in your browser, works offline in the Hayyat Networks app and remembers your last inputs and rates on this device.

Fees used by default

  • Etsy: $0.20 listing fee per sale, 6.5% transaction fee on item plus shipping, 3% + $0.25 payment processing on the order total, optional Offsite Ads (15% or 12%, capped at $100) and 2.5% currency conversion.
  • Amazon: 15% referral fee with a $0.30 minimum, Professional plan $39.99 a month shared across your orders or $0.99 per item on Individual, plus your FBA fee with a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge.
  • eBay: 13.6% final value fee on the total sale up to $7,500 and 2.35% above, plus $0.30 per order at $10 or less or $0.40 above, and an optional Promoted Listings rate.
  • Walmart: 15% referral fee, no monthly fee, plus your WFS fee if used.

Formulas

Net payout = what the buyer pays – marketplace fees. Profit = net payout – item cost – your shipping – packaging – other ads. Margin = profit / what the buyer pays. ROI = profit / item cost. Target mode searches for the lowest item price that reaches your margin or profit.

Limitations

FAQ

Marketplace Fee Comparison Calculator FAQs

Which marketplace has the lowest fees: Etsy, Amazon, eBay or Walmart?

It depends on price and fulfilment. On a $30 sale with self shipping, Etsy fees are about $3.30, eBay about $4.48 and Amazon or Walmart about $4.50 plus Amazon’s plan fee. Fixed fees hurt cheap items more, so enter your own product to see which marketplace wins for you.

How much does Etsy take from a $30 sale?

With a $25 item and $5 shipping, Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee of $1.95 and payment processing of 3% plus $0.25, which is $1.15. That totals $3.30 before any Offsite Ads or currency conversion fees, leaving a payout of $26.70.

Does the eBay final value fee include shipping and sales tax?

Yes. eBay works out the final value fee on the total amount of the sale, which includes the item price, shipping and sales tax. Enter your buyer sales tax rate in the calculator so the eBay fee reflects it. Etsy also charges payment processing on the tax amount.

How do I find the price I need for a 25% profit margin on each marketplace?

Switch the calculator to Find the price for my target, enter 25 as your margin and fill in your costs. It searches for the lowest item price that leaves a 25% margin after every fee on Etsy, Amazon, eBay and Walmart, and highlights the marketplace that needs the lowest price.
