How much do marketplaces take in fees?

Marketplaces typically charge a percentage fee plus payment processing costs, which can range from 5% to over 15% depending on the platform.

Should I include fees in pricing?

Yes, including all fees in your pricing ensures you maintain profitability.

Multiple fees such as platform commission and payment processing reduce your final payout.

Formula:

Total fees = Price × Platform % + Price × Payment %

Net payout = Price − Fees

Improving your payout per sale has a direct impact on your overall profitability.
