Whatnot charges two separate fees on every sale: a category commission and a payment processing fee. The commission varies by what you're selling: 8% for most categories, 5% for consumer electronics, and 4% for coins and money. The payment processing fee is 2.9% + $0.30 on all sales regardless of category.
For example, a $100 item in most categories: $8.00 commission + $3.20 processing = $11.20 total fees, leaving you $88.80. A $100 electronics item: $5.00 + $3.20 = $8.20 total. This two-component structure is different from Poshmark (one flat fee) or Mercari (one percentage).
Note: In January 2026, Whatnot introduced a promotional 0% commission on the portion of sales above $1,500 for select categories. This calculator shows the main-trunk rates; verify the promo directly at Whatnot for high-value sales.
