Deep Dive: Understanding Marketplace Comparisons
Sellers looking to expand beyond eBay must evaluate not only the financial fees, but also shipping workflows, audience size, listing limits, and payout timelines. Cross-listing items onto Amazon, Etsy, Depop, or Mercari helps distribute risk and increase sales volume.
Platform Sourcing & Audience Rules
- Amazon reaches the largest global audience but has strict requirements for GTINs and brand approval.
- Etsy is strictly limited to handmade, vintage (20+ years old), and craft supply items.
- Depop is a fashion-focused platform charging a 10% base selling fee (which was recently updated to charge buyers).
- Mercari has 0% seller transaction fees but charges sellers a $2.00 fee for cash transfers.
