Worked example: a $45.00 Whatnot sale

Suppose you sell an item for $45.00 and charge $8.00 shipping. The gross sale is $53.00. Here is how Whatnot arrives at what you keep:

  • Final value fee (8% × $53.00)−$4.24

Total fees come to $4.24 (8.0% of the gross sale), leaving a net payout of $48.76. After your $14.00 item cost and $6.00 shipping paid, the profit is $28.76 — a 63.9% margin on the item price.

How Whatnot fees work

Whatnot charges one flat selling fee of 8% on the total amount the buyer pays, including shipping. Unlike most marketplaces, that single rate already covers payment processing, so there is no separate card fee or fixed per-order charge to add on top. Whatnot has changed its fee structure several times as it has grown, so always confirm the current rate in your seller dashboard before pricing high-volume inventory.
