Marketplace fee
Platforms & Channels
Marketplace fee is the commission or listing fee charged by a resale platform per completed transaction, varying by platform, category, and seller tier.
Back Market, Amazon, Refurbed, eBay, and Rebuy all charge fees ranging from approximately 8% to 15% of transaction value, with variations by category and seller volume. Because fees directly reduce net margin, they must be factored into minimum acceptable resale prices and the maximum buyback offer a seller can afford to pay. Comparing gross prices across platforms without accounting for differing fee structures produces misleading margin assumptions.
