Questions
How much does Facebook Marketplace take from a sale?
Shipped orders: 10% of the total (item + shipping + tax), minimum $0.80. Local pickup paid in cash or person-to-person: no fee. Example: on a $50 item with $8 buyer-paid shipping and no sales tax, Facebook Marketplace keeps about $5.80 and you receive $52.20.
Does Facebook Marketplace charge fees on shipping?
Yes. The fee is worked out on the item price plus the shipping the buyer pays.
What is the most I should pay for an item to resell on Facebook Marketplace?
Work backwards from the sale price: payout after fees, minus your shipping label, packaging and other costs, minus the profit you want. The calculator above shows this as the max buy price. Pay more than that and the flip misses your target.
Are these Facebook Marketplace fees current?
They match Facebook Marketplace's published fee page as of October 2026 for US sellers in standard categories. Fees change, so check Facebook Marketplace's fee page before you price.
