RigFacebook Marketplace Fees for Sellers in 2026: Complete Breakdown
Selling PCs and PC parts on Facebook Marketplace? You need to know exactly how much Facebook takes from each sale — otherwise your "profit" might not actually be profit at all.
Here's the complete breakdown of Facebook Marketplace fees in 2026, plus tips to keep more of your money.
Facebook Marketplace Selling Fees (2026)
Facebook Marketplace charges different fees depending on how you sell:
Selling with Shipping (Facebook Checkout)
- Selling fee: 10% of the sale price (minimum $0.40)
- Payment processing: Included in the 10%
- Payout time: 5-20 business days after buyer confirms delivery
So if you sell a GPU for $200, Facebook takes $20, and you get $180.
Local Pickup (Cash Sales)
- Selling fee: $0 — Facebook charges nothing for local cash transactions
- Payment processing: N/A (you handle payment directly)
This is why experienced PC flippers almost always sell locally. That 10% fee on a $500 gaming PC is $50 out of your pocket.
Facebook Shops
If you've set up a Facebook Shop (different from regular Marketplace listings):
- Selling fee: 5% per shipment (minimum $0.40)
- Better rate than regular shipping — but requires more setup
How Fees Impact PC Flipping Profits
Let's do the math on a typical PC flip:
Example: Budget Gaming PC Build
- Parts cost: $300
- Sell price: $500
- Gross profit: $200
With Facebook shipping (10% fee):
- Fee: $50
- Shipping cost: ~$30-50 (PCs are heavy)
- Net profit: $100-120
With local pickup (0% fee):
- Fee: $0
- Net profit: $200
That's almost double the profit just by selling locally. For PC flippers, this is a no-brainer.
Fee Comparison: Facebook vs Other Platforms
| Platform | Selling Fee | Payment Processing | Total Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Facebook Marketplace (local) | 0% | N/A | 0% |
| Facebook Marketplace (shipped) | 10% | Included | 10% |
| eBay | 13.25% | Included | 13.25% |
| Mercari | 10% | Included | 10% |
| Craigslist | 0% | N/A | 0% |
| OfferUp | 0% local / 12.9% shipped | Varies | 0-12.9% |
Facebook Marketplace with local pickup is the cheapest way to sell PCs and parts — tied with Craigslist, but with way more buyers.
Tips to Minimize Fees When Selling PCs
- Always prefer local pickup — Zero fees and instant cash
- Bundle components — Selling a complete PC gets higher prices than parting out (and one transaction vs many)
- Use Facebook Marketplace over eBay — Save 3.25% on every sale
- Price in the fees — If you must ship, add 10-15% to your target price
- Offer "meet halfway" — Expand your buyer pool without shipping fees

The Bottom Line
If you're flipping PCs on Facebook Marketplace, sell local whenever possible. That 10% shipping fee adds up fast — on a $500 PC, it's the difference between a $200 profit and a $120 profit after shipping. Price your listings right, meet locally, and keep more of your money.
