Getting Started with the Fee Calculator

Welcome to the Fee Calculator

This guide will walk you through using our marketplace fee calculator to make informed selling decisions.

Step 1: Enter Your Sale Price

Start by entering the price you plan to sell your item for. This should be the total amount the buyer will pay for the item itself.

Step 2: Enter Your Item Cost

This is what you paid for the item, including any costs to acquire it:

• Purchase price
• Shipping to you
• Any restoration or cleaning costs

Step 3: Select Your Marketplace

Choose from our list of supported marketplaces:

• eBay
• Amazon
• Poshmark
• StockX
• GOAT
• And many more

Each marketplace has different fee structures, which the calculator will apply automatically.

Step 4: Configure Marketplace Settings

Many marketplaces have variables that affect fees:

• Seller levels (StockX, GOAT)
• Store subscriptions (eBay)
• Category selection (eBay, Amazon)
• Seller ratings (GOAT, Etsy)

Adjust these settings to match your actual seller account for accurate results.

Step 5: Review Your Results

The calculator shows:

• Total fees breakdown
• Your net profit
• Profit margin percentage
• ROI on your item cost

Using Comparison Mode

Want to see fees across multiple platforms? Enable comparison mode to see side-by-side results for all marketplaces at once.

This helps you identify which platform gives you the best return for each item.

Goal Mode

If you have a specific profit target, use Goal Mode:

1. 1Enter your desired profit amount
2. 2The calculator shows what sale price achieves that goal on each platform

Breakeven Mode

Not sure if a sale is worth it? Breakeven mode shows:

• The minimum sale price to cover your costs
• At what price you start making profit

Saving and Sharing

You can:

• Export results to PDF or image
• Copy a shareable link
• Save common configurations as presets
