What is left after the marketplace takes its cut?

Marketplaces and card processors each take a slice of every sale. Enter the fees your platform charges you and see what actually reaches your bank.

How the sum works

Fees = selling price times your platform's percentage, plus any fixed fee per order.
What reaches your bank = selling price minus fees.
Profit = what reaches your bank minus postage and the cost of the product.
Find the percentages on your platform's own fee page. They change, so check them now and then.

Questions

Which fees should I add together?

Every fee charged on a sale: the platform's commission, payment processing, and any advertising fee taken from the order. Add the percentages together, and add the fixed amounts together.

Should I raise my price to cover fees?

Fees are a cost of selling there, so your price has to carry them. Change the selling price here until the margin is one you are happy with.

Is selling on my own site cheaper?

The fees are usually lower, but you bring your own customers. Compare the profit per sale here with what it costs you to win a customer.
