1. What is the OfferUp Fee Calculator?

The OfferUp Fee Calculator helps sellers estimate the transaction fees charged by OfferUp when selling items through their platform. This allows sellers to price their items appropriately to account for these fees.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the OfferUp fee formula:

Where:

• \( Price \) — The selling price of your item
• \( 0.129 \) — OfferUp's 12.9% commission rate
• \( 1.99 \) — The minimum fee charged by OfferUp

Explanation: OfferUp charges either 12.9% of the selling price or $1.99, whichever is greater. This ensures OfferUp receives at least $1.99 for each transaction.

3. Understanding OfferUp Fees

Details: Knowing the exact fee structure is crucial for sellers to price their items competitively while ensuring they receive their desired profit margin after fees are deducted.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your item's selling price in dollars. The calculator will automatically compute both the OfferUp fee and your final payout after the fee is deducted.
