The formulas (so you can do it in your head)
| Platform | Fee formula |
|---|---|
| Poshmark | price < $15 → $2.95 · price ≥ $15 → price × 0.20 |
| Depop (US) | (item + shipping) × 0.033 + $0.45 |
| Mercari | (item + shipping) × 0.10 |
| eBay | (item + shipping) × 0.1335 + $0.40 |
Net profit = sale price − platform fee − what you paid for the item − your shipping/packaging.
3 pricing tricks that protect your margin
- Mind the Poshmark $15 cliff. At $14.99 you pay $2.95 (20%). At $15.00 you pay $3.00 (20%). But a $13 item nets more than a $15 item priced to "round up" — price just under $15 only when 20% would cost you more than $2.95 (i.e. below $14.75).
- Price from sold comps, not hope. Check what the item actually sold for (not asking prices), then subtract fees before you decide it's worth listing.
- Work backward from your target margin. Decide the take-home you want first, then add fees back to get the list price. The Tracker does this in one cell per platform.
