What FlipCalc is actually for

A seller fee calculator built for real listing decisions.

Good fee tools should help you reject weak listings early. Enter the real sale price, the real shipping structure, and the cost of goods you actually have in the item. If the payout is too thin, you know before you spend more time or cash.

If the margin looks close, move into compare mode and run the exact same sale across another marketplace. That is where the difference between a lower fee and a better audience becomes visible.

Exact payout before you list

Run the same numbers you would actually publish with instead of relying on a percentage you half remember from the last sale.

Compare channels honestly

Use the same sale assumptions across marketplaces so a comparison tells you which platform really wins, not which one got the better guess.

Keep fee nuance close to the calculator

The guides and category pages sit next to the product, so the explanation and the payout estimate stay in the same workflow.

Platform calculators

Fee calculators for every major marketplace.

Each calculator is designed around the core seller-fee math that matters before you list: payout, shipping treatment, item cost, and the fee rules sellers are most likely to misremember.

What sellers say

Real resellers, real fee decisions.

Sellers use FlipCalc to check margins before every listing. Here is what the numbers helped them see.

I was about to list a $120 jacket on Poshmark until FlipCalc showed me I'd keep $14 more on eBay after fees. That adds up fast when you're flipping 30 items a month.

Poshmark & eBay
The comparison tool is what got me. I always assumed Mercari was cheapest, but for my price range ($15-30 items), Depop actually leaves more in my pocket. I would never have checked without this.

Mercari & Depop
I run the numbers on every item before I source now. If the margin is thin on all five platforms, I just pass. FlipCalc has saved me from buying inventory I would have lost money on.

All platforms
As an Etsy seller, I kept forgetting to account for the listing fee and processing fee together. Seeing the full breakdown in one place made me realize I was underpricing by about 8% on average.

Etsy
Compare mode

Compare seller fees side by side across platforms.

Keep the sale price, shipping, and item cost constant first. Then decide whether a higher-fee marketplace still wins because the audience can support a stronger price or faster sale.

Latest fee notes

The fee updates that change seller decisions.

Depop

US sellers still operate on payment processing only, which keeps low-ticket fashion listings much cleaner than most resale marketplaces.

eBay

Per-order fees still matter at the bottom end, and category thresholds remain the main place sellers misprice higher-value inventory.

Etsy

The stacked listing, transaction, and processing fees are stable, but sellers still need to separate core math from Offsite Ads and other optional programs.

Fee guides

Read the fee rule, then test the real listing.
