How Much Does Facebook Marketplace Take?
On a shipped sale paid through Meta’s onsite checkout, Facebook Marketplace takes 10% of the total transaction value — item price plus shipping plus applicable taxes — with a $0.80 minimum per order; on a local pickup sale paid in person, no Meta selling fee is listed. As of October 2026, this guide prices the same $40 item both ways: $4.80 taken on a $48.00 shipped order, $0.00 local.

Short answer: $4.80 of a $48.00 shipped sale, $0.00 on local pickup
On a shipped order paid through Meta’s onsite checkout, Facebook Marketplace takes a selling fee of 10% of the total transaction value — item price plus shipping plus applicable taxes — with a minimum of $0.80 per order. On a local pickup sale paid in person, no Meta selling fee is listed. Scope: US individual seller, USD; income taxes, buyer-side charges and commercial-seller terms are not covered.
On a $40 item + $8 shipping (tax $0), Marketplace takes $4.80 of the $48.00 — 10.00% of the sale — and you keep $43.20 before any label cost.
What Marketplace takes on a $48.00 shipped order
One order, traced from what the buyer pays to what lands with the seller. The fee base is the total transaction value, so the $8 the buyer pays for shipping sits inside the 10% — $0.80 of the $4.80 fee is on the shipping line alone. The base is stated once here; the line-by-line fee-base mechanics belong to the shipping fee guide.
| Order line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Item price | $40.00 |
| Shipping charged to buyer | $8.00 |
| Applicable taxes | $0.00 |
| Total transaction value (the fee base) | $48.00 |
| Selling fee (10%, $0.80 minimum) | −$4.80 |
| You keep, before label | $43.20 |
| Effective take | 10.00% of the order |
The fee is the greater of 10% of the total or the $0.80 minimum; at $48.00, 10% applies. Effective take is the fee divided by the order: $4.80 ÷ $48.00 = 10.00%. Because shipping sits in the base, that $4.80 is 10.00% of the order but 12.00% of the $40 item itself.

The same $40 item, sold for local pickup: $0.00 taken
“How much does Facebook Marketplace take” has two answers in dollars for one item. Shipped with $8 buyer-paid shipping, Meta takes $4.80. Sold for local pickup and paid in person, no Meta selling fee is listed — Meta takes $0.00 of the $40.00, and there is no label and no payout wait. The local path in depth is the local pickup fees guide; the full schedule lives in the seller fees guide.
| Path | Marketplace takes | You keep | Effective take |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shipped, onsite checkout ($48.00 total) | $4.80 | $43.20 before label | 10.00% |
| Local pickup ($40.00 item) | $0.00 (no selling fee listed) | $40.00 | 0.00% selling fee |
The fee lines behind that number
Three lines, only two of them fees. The shipped selling fee is the 10% with the $0.80 floor. The local path lists no Meta selling fee. The prepaid Meta shipping label is the line that trips sellers up: it is a separate dollar deduction from your payout, priced by carrier quote — Meta publishes no public fixed dollar amount, so this page will not invent one. The label-versus-fee disambiguation is the shipping fee guide’s job; the full schedule, including what is not covered here, is in the seller fees guide.
| Fee line | Rate / amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Shipped selling fee (onsite checkout) | 10% of item + shipping + applicable taxes, minimum $0.80 per order | The $4.80 on the worked order |
| Local pickup selling fee | $0 — no Meta selling fee listed | Payment taken in person, outside onsite checkout |
| Prepaid Meta shipping label | Carrier quote; no public fixed dollar | Separate deduction from the payout, not part of the 10% |
The $0.80 minimum and small orders: when the take tops 10%
The fee is the greater of 10% of the total transaction value or $0.80, so the floor binds when the total is under $8.00 — at $8.00, 10% is exactly $0.80, and below it 10% would fall short of the minimum. This is where “how much do they take” stops being a flat answer: a $5.00 shipped order pays $0.80, an effective take of 16.00%. Every row below is arithmetic on the published 10%-or-$0.80 rule.
| Order total (shipped, tax $0) | Fee charged | Effective take | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5.00 | $0.80 (minimum) | 16.00% | $4.20 |
| $6.50 | $0.80 (minimum) | 12.31% | $5.70 |
| $8.00 | $0.80 | 10.00% | $7.20 |
| $48.00 | $4.80 | 10.00% | $43.20 |
When the money arrives
Timing, in one sentence: per Meta Help (checked 2026-10-31), payouts are often initiated 15 days after the order is marked shipped, or 5 days after delivery confirmation, and the funds can then take up to ~20 days to reach your bank. The full timing picture is the payout time guide.
Disclosure: this is not a live calculator
Feebrief has no live Facebook Marketplace calculator — the platform is not in Feebrief’s comparer data set (fees.json last reviewed 2026-10-26), so nothing on this page is computed on the fly. Every number above is static arithmetic shown with its inputs, re-checked against Meta’s official pages on 2026-10-31. See the Feebrief disclosure and how Feebrief sources fee data.

How much Facebook Marketplace takes: FAQ
How much does Facebook Marketplace take on a shipped sale?
A 10% selling fee on the total transaction value — item price plus shipping plus applicable taxes — with a $0.80 minimum per order. On a $40 item with $8 shipping and no tax, Marketplace takes $4.80 of the $48.00 and the seller keeps $43.20 before the prepaid label cost.
How much does Marketplace take on local pickup?
$0.00. No Meta selling fee is listed for local pickup sales paid in person outside onsite checkout, so on the worked $40 item the seller keeps the full $40.00. See Facebook Marketplace local pickup fees for the local path in depth.
Why can the take be more than 10% on a cheap order?
Because of the $0.80 per-order minimum. The floor binds when the total transaction value is under $8.00, since 10% of $8.00 is exactly $0.80: a $5.00 shipped order pays $0.80, a 16.00% effective take, and a $6.50 order pays 12.31%.
Is the prepaid shipping label part of the 10%?
No. The prepaid Meta label is a separate dollar deduction from your payout, priced by carrier quote; Meta publishes no public fixed rate. The 10% selling fee applies to the total transaction value only. See Facebook Marketplace shipping fee for the fee base and the label line.
