Worked example: a $120 jacket
One item sold for $120, no shipping charged, before sales tax. ArcList’s card processing is figured on the order total, the way checkout charges it.
| Marketplace | Buyer pays | Seller pays in fees | Seller keeps |
|---|---|---|---|
| ArcList | $120.00 | about $5.58 | about $114.42 |
| Poshmark | $120.00 | $24.00 | $96.00 |
| eBay | $120.00 | $16.72 | $103.28 |
| Grailed | $120.00 | $15.48 | $104.52 |
| Depop | up to $127.00 | $4.41 | $115.59 |
| Vinted | about $126.70 | $0.00 | $120.00 |
Depop states its buyer fee as a ceiling, so its figure is the most a buyer pays. Vinted’s is its usual rate. Grailed’s figure assumes a seller onboarded with Stripe in the US.
