A lot of "does Facebook Marketplace charge sellers a fee" guides still answer with 5% and a $0.40 minimum. That rate hasn't applied since April 15, 2024. Meta's own Commerce Payments Terms currently state a 10% fee with an $0.80 minimum — literally double the outdated number, on both the percentage and the floor.
The correction, straight from Meta's own terms
Meta's Commerce Payments Terms say it directly: "Meta will charge Individual Sellers a fee of 10% per transaction, with a minimum fee of $0.80," calculated on "the entire amount of the transaction (including the sale price(s) of good(s), any shipping fees and Applicable Taxes)." That's the current rate — the 5%/$0.40 figure still repeated by several fee guides is stale by more than two years.
Both rates hit their floor at exactly the same order total
| Order total | Outdated fee (5%, $0.40 min) | Current fee (10%, $0.80 min) |
|---|---|---|
| $5.00 | $0.40 (floor) | $0.80 (floor) |
| $8.00 | $0.40 (exact crossover) | $0.80 (exact crossover) |
| $20.00 | $1.00 | $2.00 |
| $50.00 | $2.50 | $5.00 |
Because the 2024 change doubled the percentage rate and the minimum fee by the same factor, the point where the flat floor stops applying and the percentage takes over hasn't moved — it's $8.00 either way ($0.40 ÷ 5% = $0.80 ÷ 10% = $8). Only the amount charged on either side of that point changed, and it changed by exactly 2×. So a guide quoting the old numbers isn't wrong about the shape of the fee — floor below $8, percentage above it — only about the size of every number in it.
Local pickup carries no Selling Fee at all
The 10%/$0.80 fee only applies to sales made through Marketplace Checkout — the shipped-order flow where Meta processes the payment. Local pickup sales aren't routed through Meta's payment system, so they're not a "transaction" under this policy and carry no Selling Fee whatsoever, not just a reduced one.
What this doesn't cover
Scoped to US individual sellers using Checkout (shipped transactions). Meta's fee base also includes "Applicable Taxes" per the policy text quoted above, but sales tax isn't modeled here — like every calculator on this site, it's treated as a pass-through collected on the buyer's behalf, not a cost that reduces seller margin.
