How to read this index
- Same input — every platform evaluated at $10, $25, $50, and $100 with identical assumptions.
- Fees only — net payout = sale price minus marketplace + payment fees. Item cost, shipping labels, ads, and taxes are excluded so the table stays a citable benchmark.
- Best badge — highest net payout at that sale price among the eight platforms modeled.
- Tap a cell — opens the full ProfitLens calculator with that platform preset so you can add COGS, shipping, and margin targets.
- Facebook row — shipped checkout only (10% min $0.80). Local pickup has $0 platform fee — see the Facebook guide.
When the index is not enough
