Reviewed and revised — 12 September 2026. This article has been updated to correct unsupported claims and reflect the current enquiry-based offer. Its original publication date and URL are retained.
A fee comparison is only useful when the seller is eligible for the market and the inputs use the right currency. A US fixed charge cannot be relabelled AUD, and a buyer fee is not automatically a seller deduction.
Correction: the earlier table mixed country-specific services and outdated rates, including labels for “Mercari AU” and “Poshmark AU”. The table and its cheapest-platform ranking are withdrawn.
Start with eligibility
Confirm that the platform supports your seller location, category and fulfilment route. Then identify the account plan, listing market and settlement currency. Keep currency conversion costs visible instead of pretending every platform shares an Australian fee schedule.
Compare the fee base
Some charges apply to item price; others include shipping or tax. Separate selling commission, processing, fixed charges, listing costs, promotions and currency conversion. Buyer-facing charges may influence the offer’s attractiveness without being deducted from your payout.
Use maintained assumptions
The TurnGoods marketplace calculator is the place to inspect the current supported calculations and their sources. Check each scenario’s limitations before using it; this article no longer duplicates the rate table.
For example, eBay AU eligibility depends on the account, while Depop’s official schedule distinguishes seller countries and payment charges. Do not reuse an old global percentage.
Compare retained outcomes
Estimate proceeds after fees, then separately include acquisition, shipping, packing and returns. The platform with the lowest fee does not necessarily achieve the same selling price or sale probability. Keep those assumptions explicit and reconcile estimates against actual transactions.
