Whatnot fees explained

What does Whatnot charge?

8% commission on most items in the US, Canada and Australia (5% electronics, 4% coins), plus about 2.9% + $0.30 processing.

Is processing charged on shipping?

Processing applies to the order total. The commission is on the item price. This calculator uses the combined rate on the whole order, which slightly overestimates fees, a safe assumption for pricing.

Are there listing fees?

No. Whatnot only charges when an item sells.

How is profit calculated?

Net profit = item price + shipping charged − platform fees − item cost − shipping you pay − other costs. The price for a target margin solves that equation for the item price.
