Facebook Marketplace Fee Calculator
Free locally, charged when you ship.
Marketplace fee models change often, and several platforms in this set have altered theirs outright in recent years. These defaults are a starting point — your own seller terms are the authority.
Selling fee
$2.55
5% of the order
Shipped orders carry the selling fee on the whole order including postage. The minimum makes cheap shipped items proportionally expensive — at $8.00 and below, the minimum is what you pay.
How the Facebook Marketplace Fee Calculator works
Local collection sales on Facebook Marketplace carry no fee at all, because the platform is not handling payment or delivery. Shipped orders with checkout do carry one, with a flat minimum that makes cheap shipped items proportionally expensive.
Not financial advice. Marketplace fees change, and they vary by country, plan and seller status. Every rate here is an editable default, not a quoted price — check the platform's current fee schedule before you price a product against it. This is not tax or business advice.
Frequently asked questions
Is Facebook Marketplace free?
For local collection sales arranged between buyer and seller, yes — entirely. Shipped orders processed through Facebook checkout carry a selling fee.
What is the selling fee on shipped orders?
Around 5% of the order total, with a flat minimum on low-value orders. The fee applies to the whole order including shipping the buyer paid.
Should I use checkout or arrange locally?
Local is free and immediate but limits your buyer pool and carries no payment protection. Checkout costs a small percentage and gets you a much larger audience plus dispute handling.
How do I avoid no-shows on local sales?
Meet in public, confirm on the day, and treat anyone who will not confirm as a no-show in advance. The free fee comes with a real time cost that the percentage on shipped orders is partly buying you out of.
