Why this matters

The 10% fee isn’t just on your item. It’s on everything the buyer pays.

Meta doubled Facebook Marketplace’s shipped-order fee from 5% to 10% in April 2024, and most sellers still price as if the old rate applies. The bigger shock: the 10% isn’t just on the item price. It’s on the full amount the buyer pays — item, shipping, and tax. So when you charge $9 shipping, Meta takes another $0.90 before you’ve paid for postage yourself.

Local pickup is still completely free. No selling fee, no processing cut. For heavy items, large items, or items under $15 where the 10% plus your postage cost would gut your margin, local pickup is almost always the smarter path. The calculator above shows both numbers side by side — see the delta before you commit to a fulfillment method.

Two other 2025 changes sellers often miss: Meta ended prepaid shipping labels on February 24, 2025 (you buy your own postage through Pirate Ship, USPS, or UPS now), and chargeback disputes cost $20 on top of the lost sale. Both eat into margin on items that ship.

FAQ

Questions sellers ask before every big listing.

Local pickup: nothing. Shipped: 10% of the total amount collected (item price + shipping + tax combined), with a $0.80 minimum per shipment. The fee increased from 5% to 10% in April 2024 and has stayed there.
This catches most sellers off guard. Meta calculates its cut on the entire amount collected at checkout, which includes shipping and tax — not just the item price. So on a $50 item with $9 shipping and $0 tax, Meta takes $5.90, not $5.00.
No. Meta ended prepaid labels on February 24, 2025. You buy your own postage now. Pirate Ship is the most popular option for Marketplace sellers; USPS and UPS direct work too.
Payouts settle 15 days after you mark the order shipped, or 5 days after tracking shows delivered — whichever comes first. Funds may take another 5 days to land in your bank.
If a buyer files a dispute and wins, you lose the sale, the item is usually gone, plus Meta charges a $20 chargeback fee. The original selling fee is not refundable. One chargeback can wipe out the profit on several legitimate sales.
Local for heavy, large, or low-margin items where the 10% fee plus postage cost would gut your profit — furniture, appliances, exercise equipment, anything where shipping is expensive or destroys margin. Shipped for premium or small items where nationwide reach is worth the 10% cut and postage. The side-by-side comparison above tells you which one leaves more money in your pocket on any given sale.
