Fees vary more than most sellers realise. Poshmark takes a flat 20% above a threshold. eBay is around 13% on jewellery. Etsy is 6.5% plus listing and processing charges. Mercari sits around 10%.
The cheapest platform is not automatically the right one. A piece that sells in a week on eBay at 13% beats one sitting on Etsy at 6.5% for four months, because stock that does not move is money you cannot spend.
Postage is charged fees too on most platforms. If you offer free postage, the cost comes out of your side of the sale and the fee is calculated on the larger total.
Work out the break-even price before you list rather than after an offer arrives. Knowing the number below which a sale costs you money is what lets you accept or decline quickly, and quickly is usually worth more than the last few pounds of haggling.
