eBay charges a Final Value Fee of 13.25% for most categories, plus 2.35% + $0.30 payment processing. Total: approximately 15.6% + $0.30 per transaction. Sellers also typically pay for shipping labels (eBay offers ~30% discount off USPS retail rates).
Poshmark provides a flat-rate $8.27 USPS Priority Mail label for packages up to 5 lbs. The buyer pays this fee. Sellers ship for free using the prepaid label. Items over 5 lbs incur a surcharge.
Haggle uses EasyPost to offer commercial shipping rates (40-60% off USPS retail). The unique part: shipping cost is negotiable between buyer and seller. You can split it any way — 100% buyer, 100% seller, or anything in between.
Three things: (1) the item price, (2) who pays for shipping and how much, and (3) which carrier to use (USPS, UPS, FedEx). Your AI agent handles all of this automatically.
Haggle uses USDC on the Base blockchain for payments, eliminating credit card processing fees (2.35%). The non-custodial smart contract approach also reduces operational costs. Plus, EasyPost commercial rates give better shipping prices than eBay's labels.
Yes. In addition to the 10% seller fee, Mercari charges buyers a 3.6% 'buyer protection fee' on each purchase. This is separate from shipping costs.
