Whatnot fee guide
Whatnot normally deducts two seller fees when an item sells: a commission fee and a payment processing fee. For most categories in the US, Canada, and Australia, Whatnot takes 8% commission plus 2.9% of the buyer's total order value and $0.30 per transaction for payment processing.
The exact amount can differ because commission rates, high-value thresholds, taxes on fees, temporary promotions, and processing charges vary by category and region. Whatnot calculates fees for each transaction even when purchases are later bundled into one shipment.
| Seller region | Standard commission | Coins & Money | Payment processing |
|---|---|---|---|
| US, Canada, Australia | 8% of final sale price | 4% of final sale price | 2.9% of order value + $0.30 |
| EU and UK | 6.67% plus applicable VAT | 4% plus applicable VAT | 2.42% + €/£0.25, plus VAT |
| Japan | 8% plus applicable JCT | 4% plus applicable JCT | 2.9% + ¥50, plus JCT |
Select high-value categories—including eligible comics, trading cards, sports singles, toys, coins, bags, and jewelry—can receive 0% commission on the portion of an individual sale above the applicable threshold. Eligibility restrictions, programs, and promotions can change. Confirm your final rate in the official Whatnot seller fee schedule.
Commission: a percentage of the item's final sale price, excluding buyer-paid shipping and taxes. Accepted offers use the accepted sale price.
Payment processing: a percentage of the total order value paid at checkout plus a fixed transaction fee. The order value normally includes the final sale price, buyer-paid shipping, and buyer-paid taxes.
Because this calculator does not know the buyer's eventual shipping charge or tax, its processing-fee result is an estimate. The order receipt in Seller Hub is the source of truth after a sale.
This calculator's baseline uses the $25 sale price for both fee estimates. The actual receipt may differ because Whatnot's processing basis can include additional checkout amounts and account-specific rates.
For most categories in the US, Canada, and Australia, Whatnot's standard commission is 8% of the final sale price. Payment processing is generally 2.9% of the buyer's total order value plus $0.30 per transaction. Category reductions, high-value promotions, taxes on fees, and seller-specific programs can change the final amount.
Whatnot generally deducts a commission fee and a payment processing fee. Commission is calculated from the item's final sale price. Processing is calculated from the total order value paid at checkout and includes a fixed transaction charge.
Whatnot says it does not charge sellers to create, store, or manage listings. Fees are deducted when an item sells, although optional promotions and other seller services can create additional costs.
Subtract commission and payment processing from the item's final sale price. Then subtract any taxes on seller fees, seller-paid shipping, product cost, packaging, promotion spend, labor, and other operating costs to estimate actual profit.
