Methodology & Sources
FeesLab calculators use only the rates in our public fee table (/data/fees.json), which is the single source of truth for the site and the Profit Tracker spreadsheet. Each rate records its official source URL and the date we last checked it.
- verified: read on the platform's official page on the date shown.
- indirect: official page text read via a search index because the page blocks automated access; re-check in a browser.
- unverified: not confirmed on an official page; shown for context, never used silently.
Each fee line is rounded to the cent. Platforms round differently, so expect occasional 1¢ differences. Taxes collected on behalf of buyers are passed through and not counted as revenue. FeesLab is not affiliated with Etsy, eBay or TikTok. Maintained by The FeesLab team.
