Facebook Marketplace fees explained

Facebook Marketplace is genuinely free for local pickup transactions — no fees, no payment processing, you and the buyer settle in cash or however you arrange it. Fees only kick in when you sell through Facebook's checkout and ship: 10% of the entire transaction, including shipping and tax (or a $0.80 minimum, whichever is higher), which covers payment processing. There's no listing fee and no monthly fee. For local pickup of bulky items (furniture, appliances, large electronics) Facebook Marketplace is the cheapest place to sell, full stop, because it costs nothing. For shipped orders the 10% fee lands in the middle of the pack — level with Mercari's, below eBay's and Poshmark's — so the real reason to ship on Facebook is reach into a local-first audience, not fee savings. The tradeoffs are weaker seller protection, sketchier buyer interactions, and seller tools (analytics, bulk listing, shipping labels) that are noticeably less mature than eBay's.

FAQ

Common questions about Facebook Marketplace fees

Does Facebook Marketplace charge fees?
Local pickup transactions on Facebook Marketplace are completely free — no fees, no processing charges, no platform cut. The 10% selling fee (with a $0.80 minimum) only applies to shipped orders that go through Facebook Checkout, and it's charged on the whole transaction, including shipping and tax. There are no listing fees and no monthly fees.
Are local pickup sales really free?
Yes. If you sell locally and the buyer pays in cash, Venmo, Zelle, or any non-Facebook payment method, Facebook takes nothing. The platform doesn't process the payment so there's nothing to charge a fee on. The 10% only kicks in when you ship through Facebook's integrated shipping flow.
How does Facebook Marketplace shipping work?
Facebook offers integrated shipping for sellers who opt in. The buyer pays at checkout, Facebook handles the payment and shipping label, and the platform takes the 10% fee. Sellers can also list items as 'local pickup only' to avoid the shipping flow entirely and keep 100% of the sale.
Is Facebook Marketplace worth it for resellers?
For bulky items (furniture, appliances, large electronics, exercise equipment) — absolutely. Local pickup is free, the audience is enormous, and items that would cost $30+ to ship on eBay sell same-day for cash. For small shippable items, Facebook's selling fees are competitive but the platform's seller protections are weaker than eBay or Mercari.
Can I list the same item on multiple platforms?
Yes, and most volume resellers do. Cross-list to Facebook Marketplace alongside eBay and Mercari to maximize reach. The downside: you have to remember to delete the listing on every platform when it sells, or risk double-selling. Tools like Prelo manage cross-listing automatically.
Are there scams on Facebook Marketplace?
More than other marketplaces, yes. Common scams include overpayment via fake check, 'I'll send my mover' phishing, and fake-payment screenshots. Stick to in-person cash for local pickup and only use Facebook Checkout for shipped sales — that puts the platform's payment protection between you and the buyer.
How much does Facebook Marketplace take from a $100 sale?
$10.00, using the rates in the calculator above: a 10% selling fee ($10.00). You keep $90.00 before shipping and what you paid for the item. Free for local pickup; 10% (min $0.80) for shipping orders.
What do I need to sell for on Facebook Marketplace to take home $50?
$55.56. At that price the fees come to $5.56, leaving $50.00. That is before shipping and what you paid for the item, so add both on top to find a price that actually clears $50 profit.
Which takes less on a $50 sale: Facebook Marketplace, eBay or Mercari?
On base fees, Facebook Marketplace takes $5.00 (you keep $45.00); eBay takes $7.20 (you keep $42.80); Mercari takes $5.00 (you keep $45.00). Facebook Marketplace leaves you the most. These use each marketplace's default rate from our calculators; category rates, promoted listings and who pays shipping change the real number.
