Does Facebook Marketplace charge sellers?

It depends entirely on how the sale completes. Local pickup sales — cash or in-person payment — cost the seller nothing. Shipped sales processed through Marketplace checkout carry a 5% selling fee with a $0.40 minimum per transaction. That split creates a real strategic choice: shipping reaches more buyers and can fetch higher prices, while local pickup keeps the entire sale price. The calculator has a toggle for both modes so you can see the crossover point — the shipped price at which you'd net the same as a slightly lower local price.

Common uses

  • Deciding between 'local pickup only' and offering shipping
  • Pricing a shipped listing so the payout matches your local floor
  • Seeing how Marketplace's 5% undercuts eBay and Poshmark

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 5% fee on the item or on shipping too?
The selling fee applies to the transaction amount; shipping charged to the buyer passes through to your payout, which the calculator models separately.
Are local pickup sales really free?
Yes — Facebook takes no cut of in-person sales. The trade-offs are your time, your radius of buyers, and safety practices, not fees.
What's the $0.40 minimum about?
On very small shipped sales, 5% of the price can be less than $0.40 — the minimum applies instead. The calculator enforces it automatically.
Are these the September 2026 rates?
Yes. Meta's selling fee structure for shipped Marketplace sales has held at 5%/$0.40 minimum; confirm in Meta's Marketplace help center for edge cases like vehicles and rentals, which follow different rules.
