UK Selling Fees Hub (2026)
Every major UK selling channel in one place — fee guides, comparisons, and a free calculator so you know what you keep.
Updated August 2026 · Fee assumptions
Marketplace marketing talks about reach. Sellers need contribution. Use this hub to open the right fee guide, then run the same product through the UK marketplace fee calculator.
Fees alone never pick a channel — ads, returns, postage and sell-through do. Every guide below links back into the same calculator model.
Worked example
A £45 fashion sale with £14 cost and £2.95 postage can keep ~£30+ on private eBay/Vinted, less on Amazon FBA once fulfilment and returns hit.

Frequently asked questions
Which UK marketplace has the lowest fees?
Private eBay and private Vinted often charge £0 platform fee. Depop charges payment processing. Business marketplaces take a larger cut. Always compare with your product cost and return rate.
Are marketplace fee calculators accurate?
They are decision aids. Category rates, promotions, VAT and ads change the real number. Confirm live rates before you scale.
Should I sell on more than one platform?
Often yes. Use the calculator to set a minimum viable price per channel so the fee-heavier platform does not sell you into a loss.
