How it is calculated — and what is deliberately left out

Per-sale fee = the platform's verified transaction + payment fees on the selling price (Etsy adds its $0.20 listing fee per sale; Shopify adds only its card fee per sale, with the Basic subscription spread over your monthly sales for the net-per-sale figure). No shipping is charged or paid, because the product is digital. This tool covers only Etsy, eBay and Shopify with verified fees. Other digital storefronts (for example Gumroad, Payhip, Lemon Squeezy, Teachable) are not shown here, because their fee schedules are not in the verified fee database — showing their rates from memory would be guessing. If a platform row is missing for your country (eBay UK business, eBay Australia Pro), that is the same rule, not an error.

Worked example (defaults): United States, price $20, cost $0, 100 sales. Etsy $2.35 per sale (listing $0.20 + 6.5% × $20 = $1.30 + 3% × $20 + $0.25 = $0.85) → net $17.65, margin 88.3%, monthly $1,765. eBay $3.12 per sale (13.6% × $20 = $2.72 + $0.40) → net $16.88, monthly $1,688. Shopify $0.88 per sale (2.9% × $20 + $0.30) + $39/month → monthly fees $127, monthly net $1,873.

What this tool does NOT include — read before deciding

Discovery: marketplaces bring their own search traffic; your own store does not. A fee saving does not pay for the traffic you would need to replace.
Customer acquisition cost (CAC): not included unless a tool says so. Paid traffic can erase a fee saving — run the numbers with your real CAC.
Refunds and returns: not modelled unless a tool says so. Some platforms keep part of the fee on a refund; return shipping and restocking are extra.
Apps and plugins: your own store's apps, themes, and tools are not in the Shopify Basic subscription shown here.
Taxes: sales tax / VAT is excluded from the fee base. eBay Germany figures exclude 19% USt.
Fulfilment and storage: no FBA, 3PL, warehouse, or storage fees are included for any platform.
Currency conversion, international fees, and category variations: not modelled. Most-common category rates are used; your category may differ — check your seller dashboard.
Digital delivery costs: file hosting, email delivery, and any per-sale licence cost you did not enter above are not included.

Why Amazon is not compared — explicit exclusion

Amazon is not in this tool, deliberately — not an oversight and not a “coming soon” badge. Amazon referral fees vary by category (roughly 8% to 45%) and FBA fees depend on size and weight, which this tool does not collect, and Amazon’s Seller Central schedule is login-gated and could not be verified from an official page. No Amazon numbers are shown rather than guessed ones. See the Fee Index for exactly what is missing.
