Resale platforms, ranked by what you keep
The same item keeps a different amount on every platform.
A seller on Poshmark gives up a fifth of every sale of $15 or more. The same item on another platform can give up almost nothing, or sit somewhere in between, and the ranking moves as the price moves because some fees are flat, some are percentages, and some are charged on the shipping as well as the item. Put your item in below and see where it keeps the most.
The router
You keep is the sale price minus the seller fees in the middle column, worked out on each platform's own rules below. It is the money left from the item itself, before the label you buy where you charge for shipping, before what the item cost you, and before tax.
One listing, every marketplaceRanked them? Now list on more than one.
The ranking above is an argument for being on more than one platform, not for picking a single winner and moving your whole shop. The item that keeps the most on Vinted this week can be the item that sells first on Depop. Vendoo crosslists one listing across eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, Etsy and more and detects the sale, so the other copies come down instead of selling twice. Plans start at $12.49 a month, billed yearly.

The rates, platform by platform
Each rate is the platform's own published US schedule, read from its fee or help pages for this page. Where a fee is charged on shipping, the math uses the shipping figure you put in above. Where a fee is charged on tax as well, tax is left out, because it changes by state and would flatter or punish a platform for your buyer's address rather than its schedule.
Why the cheapest line is not always the right route
Fees rank money, not buyers. Vinted takes nothing from the seller because the buyer pays its fee on top, usually 5% plus $0.70, and its US audience is the newest of the seven. A zero fee on a platform where your item sits unsold is worth less than a higher fee where it moves this week.
Format closes doors. Whatnot is built around live selling, so its line only counts if you are willing to sell on camera or use its marketplace listings with a smaller audience. StockX only takes new and unworn items in the categories its catalog covers, and every sale goes through its verification. Grailed is a menswear and designer room; a general household item has no home there.
Price moves the answer. Run the same item at $12 and at $150. Flat fees and minimums punish small sales, percentage fees punish large ones, and Grailed steps up at $120. The platform you start on and the platform you expand to are often two different answers, which is the whole point of routing item by item instead of marrying one marketplace.
For the wider estate: one sale priced across eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop and Whatnot sits on the reseller fee comparison, marketplace fee changes are logged on the fee change tracker, and the full list of seller tools lives on the seller resources page.
