Seller fees
Listing is free and there is no subscription. Local sales with pickup or drop-off and payment outside Facebook have no selling fee. For orders sold with shipping through Marketplace checkout in the US, Facebook charges a selling fee of 10% of the order total, with a minimum of $0.80 per order (in effect since April 15, 2024). The selling fee includes payment processing. Marketplace shipping and checkout are separate from Facebook and Instagram Shops, which send buyers to the business website to pay.
How to start selling
Log in to a personal Facebook account in good standing and open Marketplace. Choose Create new listing, add photos, price, description and location. To sell with shipping in the US, turn on shipping and add a payout method so Facebook can send your earnings.
Seller questions
Listing on Facebook Marketplace is free. If you sell locally and the buyer pays you in person or outside Facebook, there is no selling fee. If you sell with shipping using Marketplace checkout in the US, Facebook deducts a selling fee of 10% of the order total, with a minimum of $0.80. The fee covers payment processing, so there is no separate card fee.
For local sales you collect payment directly from the buyer, for example cash or a payment app, and Facebook is not involved. For shipped orders paid through Marketplace checkout, Facebook sends your earnings, minus the selling fee, to the payout method you add in your Marketplace settings. You can see upcoming and past payouts in the Your Payouts section of Marketplace.
Payouts for shipped Marketplace orders are released after the order is shipped with tracking and the delivery or waiting period in Facebook's payout rules has passed. Your bank can add processing time after Facebook sends the money. Facebook shows the expected date for each order in the Your Payouts section, which is the most reliable place to check timing for your account.
Marketplace is a separate product from Facebook and Instagram Shops. Shops send buyers to the business website to pay. On Marketplace, individual sellers in the US can sell with shipping and checkout on Facebook, with a selling fee of 10% of the order total and a minimum of $0.80 per order. Local pickup sales paid outside Facebook have no selling fee.
No. Facebook does not offer prepaid shipping labels for new Marketplace listings. Sellers buy their own labels from carriers such as USPS, UPS or FedEx, or from label services, and add the tracking number to the order in Marketplace. The 10% selling fee on shipped orders covers payment processing, so the label is a separate cost.
Facebook can remove Marketplace access if listings or account activity break its Commerce Policies or Community Standards, for example prohibited items, misleading listings or repeated buyer complaints. New or recently created accounts can also be limited. If you think the decision is wrong, open Marketplace and use the request review option shown on the restriction notice. Facebook reviews the request and tells you the result.
There is no separate Marketplace seller account. To stop selling, mark items as sold or delete your listings, and remove your payout method from Marketplace settings once all orders are complete. To remove Marketplace completely you must delete your Facebook account in Accounts Center. Meta gives a grace period of about 30 days to cancel a deletion before it becomes permanent.
Income from selling for profit is generally taxable. For US sellers paid through Marketplace checkout, Meta must send a Form 1099-K when payments reach the IRS reporting threshold, which is $20,000 and more than 200 transactions for the 2025 tax year. Selling personal items for less than you paid is usually not taxable income. Ask a tax professional about your own situation.
