The two Marketplaces
Facebook Marketplace is really two platforms: a fee-free local classifieds and a 10%-fee shipped-goods marketplace. For anything under about $100, the local-pickup option often beats every other platform on pure keep — no commission, no processing, cash or payment app on handoff.
When shipping still wins
Local only reaches people who can drive to you. If an item sits for weeks locally, the 10% shipped fee buys you a national audience. Use the calculator to find your indifference point: how much faster must it sell shipped to justify the fee?
Watch the $0.80 minimum
On sub-$8 shipped sales the $0.80 minimum fee is effectively more than 10%. Bundle small items into lots rather than shipping them one by one.
