      *Whatnot commission varies by seller tier and category under the four-week sales structure effective September 21, 2026, so no single $50 commission/keep amount is shown. Processing is 2.9% + $0.30 on the applicable gross order value. *eBay/other examples use a $50 item with no buyer-paid shipping or tax and assume the standard applicable fee rate; actual fees can vary by category and the total amount of the sale. Fee examples verified October 2026 from official platform sources. Actual fees can vary by category, shipping, taxes, seller tier, and optional services.

      STRAIGHT ANSWERS

      GENERAL

      Is CLAWBACK free, and is my data safe?

      Yes. CLAWBACK is free to use with no signup or login. Your calculations are performed in your browser, and CLAWBACK does not require you to submit your sale or return details to use the calculator.

      Do eBay, Poshmark, Mercari or Depop charge a "return fee"?

      These platforms generally don't charge a separate line item called a 'return fee.' A forced return can still cost you through the refund, seller-paid return expenses, and loss in recoverable item value. Platform fee credits can also vary by reason.

      Can I write off return losses on my taxes?

      Potentially, but don't treat every return as an automatic tax write-off. Tax treatment depends on your jurisdiction, accounting method, cost basis, and reimbursements. Keep records of refunds, returns, shipping, item costs, and reimbursements and confirm the treatment with a tax professional.

      EBAY

      On eBay, do I get my fees back when an item is returned?

      For eligible full refunds handled through eBay, buyer-remorse reasons such as changed mind, ordered by mistake, doesn't fit, or found a better price can qualify for credits of the final value fee and per-order fee. Item-problem refunds generally qualify for the final value fee but not the per-order fee. If eBay stepped in and ruled against you, or you refunded the buyer outside of eBay, you get no credit at all.

      Who pays eBay return shipping?

      On eBay the seller pays return shipping for "not as described", damaged, or wrong-item claims. Buyer remorse returns may be subject to your specific return policy settings.

      MERCARI

      Who pays Mercari return shipping?

      Approved returns use a prepaid label for eligible returns up to 50 lbs; heavier returns may require seller-provided shipping. Mercari's 10% selling fee is generally refunded on approved returns.

      DEPOP

      Who pays Depop return shipping?

      US buyers receive a prepaid return label for qualifying in-app returns. International buyers may arrange tracked shipping and receive reimbursement subject to Depop's limits. Depop refunds all selling and processing fees on approved returns.

      POSHMARK

      How do Poshmark returns affect sellers?

      Poshmark generally provides a prepaid return label on approved returns and refunds the 20% commission. Your real loss is usually limited to the item's value if it comes back damaged or swapped.

      WHATNOT

      Does Whatnot really take 8%, or is it more?

      It depends on category and order total. In the US, many categories have an 8% commission, while some have lower rates. Payment processing is 2.9% + $0.30 based on total order value, which can include buyer-paid shipping and taxes. Your effective cost can therefore exceed the headline commission.

      VINTED

      Does Vinted charge sellers any fees?

      No. Vinted charges $0 in seller selling fees in 2026 — no commission, no processing, no listing fee. When your sale completes, you receive the full selling price in your Vinted Wallet. The buyer pays the Buyer Protection fee plus shipping, neither of which is counted as seller loss. Optional paid promotions can cost sellers extra, and custom-shipping sellers may also pay shipping costs upfront.
