Fee breakdown

  • Vinted US

    • Selling fee (Vinted charges sellers no selling fee)$0.00
    • Buyer side: Vinted fee (usually 5% + $0.70)$2.70
    • Buyer pays shipping and the Vinted fee (usually 5% + $0.70), so the same price costs your buyer more than on platforms with no buyer fee.

  • Poshmark

    • Poshmark fee (20% of $40.00)$8.00
    • Buyer side: No buyer fee (removed Oct 2024)$0.00
    • Buyer pays the flat Posh Post label (up to 5 lb).

Label estimate: $8.24 (USPS Ground Advantage, commercial, zone 5) for eBay, Depop and Whatnot; Mercari's own label: $7.39. Poshmark uses its flat $6.49 label. Vinted buyers normally pay the prepaid label.

Highest payout isn't the whole story. On Vinted the buyer pays $40.00 + a Vinted fee (~5% + $0.70 = $2.70) + shipping, so the same price costs your buyer more there, which can mean slower sales. Depop and Mercari buyers pay fees too; eBay, Poshmark and Whatnot list no buyer fee. Compare the “Buyer pays” column.
