Marketplace Fee Comparison Calculator
Compare estimated per-order platform fees and contribution profit using the same product economics. Adjust each platform's assumptions to match your seller account.
Product and order assumptions
This shared model excludes sales tax from revenue. Enter the seller-paid fulfilment/shipping cost once. If buyer-paid shipping is part of the fee base, add it to sale price or adjust the platform fee base accordingly.
Platform fee assumptions
All fee inputs are editable. Defaults are simplified examples, not guaranteed current rates. Amazon uses an illustrative 15% referral assumption with a $0.30 minimum; Etsy includes illustrative transaction, payment-processing and listing assumptions; Shopify plan allocation is entered separately above.
| Platform | Percentage | Fixed fee / order | Extra fee / order |
|---|---|---|---|
| eBay | |||
| Etsy | |||
| Amazon | |||
| Shopify | |||
| TikTok Shop |
Extra fee lets you add an estimated per-order cost such as listing renewal, category surcharge, creator commission or other program fee. Avoid double-counting costs already included elsewhere.
Estimated results
Estimated contribution = sale price − platform fee − product cost − fulfilment − advertising/creator cost − other variable cost − allocated monthly overhead. This is not accounting, tax or payout advice.
How to use this comparison

Important differences between platforms
- eBay: category-based final value fees, per-order fees, optional promoted listings and possible Store discounts.
- Etsy: listing/renewal, transaction, country-specific payment processing and possible Offsite Ads.
- Amazon: category-based referral fees, selling plan, FBA fulfilment/storage and other inventory charges.
- Shopify: subscription allocation, card processing and possible third-party payment transaction fees; customer acquisition is usually a major separate cost.
- TikTok Shop: category referral fee, affiliate commission, seller promotions, fulfilment and advertising.
