Marketplace fees, true profit, pricing, shipping, customs, inventory and listings — type your question and get a straight answer in seconds. The full detailed report costs less than a cup of coffee: $2.95.
Every marketplace takes a different cut, and the winner changes with your item price. eBay's typical final value fee runs about 13.25% all-in, Etsy layers a 6.5% transaction fee on top of roughly 3% plus $0.25 processing and $0.20 per listing, Amazon's referral fee averages around 15%, and a Shopify store charges about 2.9% plus $0.30 per sale on top of a monthly plan. This calculator nets all four against your actual price and cost of goods so you can see, in dollars, which channel keeps the most of each sale — and where your product's profit actually lives.
Enter what one item sells for, what it costs you, and roughly how many you sell a month — the calculator nets out typical fees on eBay, Etsy, Amazon and a Shopify store and shows which one keeps the most of your money.
There is no single cheapest platform — it depends on your item price. Fixed fees make Etsy and Shopify brutal on cheap items, while percentage-heavy Amazon and eBay sting more at high prices. Run your real numbers through the comparison to see the winner for your product.
Shopify's Basic plan costs about $29 a month, so the calculator spreads that fee across the orders you actually expect. At 10 sales a month the store costs $2.90 per sale; at 200 sales it costs 15 cents — which is why volume changes the verdict.
No — they are typical published US rates as of 2026 and vary by category and plan. Always confirm the current fee schedule on each platform before switching channels; the calculator is for direction, not gospel.
