On a typical US clothing sale in October 2026, Poshmark takes 20% on sales above $15 (a flat $2.95 below that), eBay takes 13.6% plus a small per-order fee, Mercari takes 10%, and Depop and Vinted charge sellers no selling fee at all. The platforms with low seller fees add a fee on the buyer's side instead, so the price your buyer sees at checkout is higher than your asking price. The figures below come from each platform's own fee pages, checked in October 2026, followed by two worked examples.

This article is written by the team behind WeartyAI, a pricing and listing tool. WeartyAI is not affiliated with Poshmark, Mercari, eBay, Depop or Vinted, and fees change, so check the current fee in the app before you list.

Fee overview for US sellers

  • Poshmark: flat $2.95 on sales under $15, 20% above that. No separate buyer protection fee.
  • Mercari: 10% selling fee on item price plus buyer-paid shipping. The buyer pays a 3.6% Buyer Protection fee.
  • eBay: 13.6% final value fee for most clothing up to $7,500, plus a per-order fee ($0.40 on orders over $10).
  • Depop: no selling fee; payment processing of 3.3% + $0.45. Buyers pay a marketplace fee.
  • Vinted: no selling fee; the buyer pays a Vinted fee, usually 5% + $0.70.

The headline percentage is only half the picture. A buyer comparing two identical jackets sees your price plus their own fee and shipping, so a seller fee of zero does not automatically mean the lowest total for the buyer.

Poshmark: flat fee under $15, 20% above

According to Poshmark's seller fee policy (checked October 2026), listing is free and the fee is taken after the sale: a flat $2.95 for sales under $15, and 20% for sales above that, so you keep 80%. The policy notice also says Poshmark removed its Buyer Protection Fee from 24 October 2024. The wording differs slightly on a sale of exactly $15, so if you price right on the line, check the earnings preview in the app.

The flat fee hurts most on cheap items. A $10 basic tee loses $2.95, almost 30% of the price, which is why many Poshmark sellers bundle low-value pieces rather than list them one by one.

Mercari: 10% selling fee, plus a buyer fee

Mercari's fee page (checked October 2026) says listings created or updated from 6 January 2025 pay a 10% selling fee, calculated on the item price plus any shipping the buyer pays. There is no separate payment processing fee on those listings. Buyers pay a Buyer Protection fee of 3.6% on the item price and buyer-paid shipping.

Because the 10% also applies to buyer-paid shipping, a heavy coat with an expensive label costs you a little more in fees than the item price alone suggests.

eBay US: final value fee for clothing

For most of the Clothing, Shoes & Accessories category, eBay's selling fees page (checked October 2026) lists a final value fee of 13.6% on the total amount of the sale up to $7,500, plus a per-order fee of $0.40 on orders over $10. The total amount of the sale includes shipping and tax, not just your item price. Two exceptions matter for wardrobe sellers:

  • Women's bags and handbags: 15% up to $2,000, 9% above that.
  • Athletic shoes: 8% with no per-order fee when the sale is $150 or more; 13.6% below $150.

If you sell trainers that regularly go for more than $150, eBay can work out cheaper than its headline rate suggests.

Depop US: no selling fee, but processing and a buyer fee

Depop's seller fees page (checked October 2026) says no Depop selling fee is charged to US-based sellers. The payment processing fee is 3.3% + $0.45, charged on the item price plus shipping and any applicable taxes. If you use Boosted Listings, a 12% boosting fee applies to boosted sales on new listings from 23 March 2026.

On the buyer's side, Depop announced in its newsroom a US marketplace fee of up to 5% of the item price plus up to $1, from 18 July 2024.

Vinted in the US

Vinted runs a US marketplace at vinted.com. Its US price list (checked October 2026) charges sellers no selling fee; the buyer pays a mandatory Vinted fee, usually 5% + $0.70, added at checkout. Sellers only pay for optional extras such as bumping a listing. The buyer base is newer than on the other four, so check how many similar items are listed before you assume it is the right home for a given piece.

Worked examples: $25 and $60 items

To keep the comparison clean, these figures leave out shipping and tax. On Mercari, eBay and Depop the fee also applies to some or all of those amounts, so real deductions are slightly higher. The items are examples, not price advice.

A $25 pair of jeans

  • Poshmark: 20% = $5.00, you keep $20.00.
  • Mercari: 10% = $2.50, you keep $22.50.
  • eBay: $3.40 + $0.40 = $3.80, you keep $21.20.
  • Depop: $0.83 + $0.45 = $1.28, you keep $23.72.
  • Vinted: no seller fee, you keep $25.00; the buyer pays around $1.95 on top.

For a $60 wool coat the gap widens: Poshmark leaves you $48.00, eBay $51.44 ($8.16 + $0.40), Mercari $54.00, Depop $57.57 ($1.98 + $0.45) and Vinted $60.00, with the Vinted buyer paying around $3.70 extra.

Fees are one input. A platform where your brand sells regularly at $60 can beat a cheaper platform where the same coat sits for weeks at $45. That is why it pays to look at sold prices for similar items first; our guide on how to price used clothes covers that step.

Where WeartyAI fits

WeartyAI is one of several tools that can help with the pricing step, and we make it, so weigh that accordingly. For 1 credit it reads your photos and suggests a US price range from comparable listings it finds on eBay, Poshmark, Depop and Mercari, plus a listing text you can copy. It does not post anything for you. Treat the range as a starting point to check against sold listings, not a final answer. You get 5 free credits when you sign up, and packs start at $2.99 with no subscription; details are on the pricing page.

What to do next

  • Decide your floor price, the amount you want to keep, before choosing a platform.
  • Work out what each platform leaves you at that price, including shipping where the fee applies to it.
  • Bundle items under $15 if you sell on Poshmark.
  • Check the earnings preview in each app before publishing, because fees change.
  • Write titles and photos to each platform's limits; our Poshmark and Mercari listing tips go through them.
