Wish Marketplace Fee Calculator
Commission on item and shipping together.
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.
Wish fees
$7.65
15% of the $51.00 order
Commission is charged on the shipping the buyer paid as well as the item, adding $0.90 per order. Free shipping built into the price costs the same as shipping charged separately here. Commission is charged on the item and the shipping the buyer paid. Wish has historically applied performance-based penalties and withheld payouts against quality metrics, which matters more to margin than the headline rate.
How the Wish Marketplace Fee Calculator works
Wish charges commission on the shipping the buyer paid as well as the item, so inflating postage to protect margin does not work. Its performance penalties and payout withholding have historically mattered more to sellers' actual take than the headline rate does.
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
What does Wish charge?
A commission of roughly 15% on the total the buyer paid, including shipping. Rates have varied by programme and seller standing.
Why does the fee base matter?
Because commission on shipping means the common tactic of low item price plus high postage does not reduce the fee. You pay on the whole amount either way.
What about payout withholding?
Wish has historically held payouts against performance metrics and refund rates, sometimes for extended periods. For a working-capital-constrained seller that is a bigger risk than the commission.
Is Wish worth selling on?
Volume is well below its peak and the buyer base is heavily price-driven. It works for very low-cost goods with genuine price advantage and works poorly for anything else.
