US rates, standard selling plans, before advertising or optional extras. Annual figures include Amazon's $39.99 Professional plan. eBay's rate drops on the portion of a sale above $7,500, and Jewelry and Watches switch to 9% above $5,000. Nembol Storefront charges no commission, so its only per-sale cost is your checkout processor: Stripe at 2.9% + $0.30 or PayPal at 3.49% + $0.49. Your Nembol subscription is not counted against any single channel because it covers all of them. Fees change often, so treat this as a guide and check each platform for your exact category.

Which marketplace has the lowest seller fees?

On percentage alone, your own storefront wins: there is no commission, only the payment processor’s cut. Among marketplaces, TikTok Shop is currently cheapest at 6%.

But the cheapest channel is rarely the busiest. A 6% fee on a channel where nothing sells is worse than 15% on one that sells the item in two days. The sellers who do best treat fees as one input, not the decision — and list on several channels at once.

How to reduce your marketplace fees

  • Match the product to the channel. The same item can cost twice as much to sell in the wrong category.
  • Sell some of it yourself. Every sale through your own storefront skips commission entirely. Even a small share moving there changes your yearly total. Try Storefront ->
  • Use different prices per channel. Same price across different channels means you absorb the fee difference. Rules that add each channel’s margin protect it. Use Pricing rules ->
