Head-to-head calculators
Each comparison page has a shared input form and two live receipts, plus a six-point price table and the differences that actually matter between the two fee schedules.
Reading the table
Three patterns explain almost every number above. Platforms with a fixed fee (eBay's $0.40, Etsy's $0.20 + $0.25, Poshmark's $2.95 under $15, Depop's $0.45, Whatnot's $0.30, StockX's $5 + $5) are expensive for cheap items and get relatively cheaper as price rises. Pure-percentage platforms (Mercari, TikTok Shop, Poshmark above $15) cost the same share at every price. And the platforms that look cheapest here, Depop and Vinted, have moved fees onto the buyer, so their listings show a higher total to shoppers than your price.
For a specific item, the price-for-profit calculator turns this around: tell it the profit you want and it gives you the listing price needed on each platform.
