Seller fees are only half the story: on some sites the buyer pays a fee at checkout too. Here is what a UK private seller and their buyer pay on Quidbo, eBay, Vinted and Facebook Marketplace, with each figure linked to the site's own page and the date we checked it.
The short answer
Quidbo: no selling fee for private sellers, just 1.5% + 20p card processing; the buyer's Guarantee fee is half eBay's buyer protection fee.
eBay UK: no final value fee for private sellers, and 300 free listings a month; the buyer pays eBay's buyer protection fee.
Vinted: no fees for uploading or selling; the buyer pays the Vinted fee, usually 3% to 8% plus £0.30 to £0.80.
Facebook Marketplace: 2% of the whole order, postage included, when the buyer pays through checkout.
Quidbo
Private sellers pay no Quidbo selling fee, just a card processing fee of 1.5% + 20p a sale, taken from the seller's money on its own line. There are no listing fees for now, and your first single item sells with no fees for you or your buyer. The buyer pays a Quidbo Guarantee fee: half what eBay charges for its buyer protection, in the categories where eBay charges one, for example £0.05 + 3.5% on the first £20, where eBay charges £0.10 + 7%. Business sellers pay half eBay's fees, and their buyers pay nothing. See all of Quidbo's fees.
eBay UK
eBay charges private sellers no final value fee, and the first 300 listings each month are free, then 35p each, according to its private seller fees page. Buyers pay eBay's buyer protection fee: a flat £0.10 plus 7% of the price up to £20, 4% of the part from £20 to £300 and 2% of the part from £300 to £4,000, as its buyer protection fee page sets out. Business sellers pay a final value fee on every sale. eBay's private seller fees page was updated on 5 November 2026; we checked both pages on 9 November 2026.

Vinted
Vinted says there are no fees for uploading or selling items, on its help page about selling fees. The buyer pays a compulsory Buyer Protection fee at checkout, which Vinted's help page about the Vinted fee describes as usually 3% to 8% plus £0.30 to £0.80, VAT included. Items from Vinted Pro sellers carry different fees. Neither page shows a date; we checked them on 9 November 2026.
Facebook Marketplace
When a buyer pays through Facebook's checkout, Meta's checkout terms set a UK selling fee of 2% of the whole order, postage and taxes included, and say the payment provider may charge its own fees. The fee applies to orders paid through Marketplace checkout. The terms were last modified on 26 May 2026; we checked them on 9 November 2026.
What it means for you
As a private seller, eBay and Vinted take no fee from your sale price, while Quidbo's card processing fee and Facebook's checkout fee do. The difference is on the buyer's side: eBay and Vinted add a buyer protection fee at checkout, and Quidbo's Guarantee fee is half eBay's, in the categories where eBay charges one. This page compares private sellers; Quidbo's business sellers pay half eBay's business fees.
