What you keep: eBay vs the ShopStable marketplace
Seller fees only, on both sides, on the order total including shipping. Payment processing is included in every fee shown. Shipping labels, fulfilment services, and advertising are left out on both sides, because they depend on how you run your shop.
| Where you sell | Fees a month | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| eBay, no Store subscription | $288.00 | $1,712.00 |
| ShopStable, Marketplace plan | $300.00 | $1,700.00 |
| ShopStable, Professional plan Also includes your own website | $259.99 | $1,740.01 |
| ShopStable, Scale plan Also includes your own website | $399.99 | $1,600.01 |
The example starts at 40 orders a month at $50.00 each; change either number above. Monthly plan prices are included. eBay rates are for most categories, for sellers without an eBay Store subscription. Some categories differ, for example 15% on jewelry up to $5,000 and 8% on athletic shoes of $150 or more. An eBay Store subscription lowers the rate in exchange for a monthly fee. ShopStable figures come from our published pricing.

Sell locally, and keep what you build.
Made for local sellers.
-
No listing fees, however many products you list.
-
Your customers and reviews are yours, not the platform's.
-
Sell services and products from one dashboard.
-
Free to start on the local marketplace.
The big platforms turned local businesses into line items, renting them visibility and auctioning their leads. We think you should own what you build instead.
That's the whole idea behind ShopStable: a real website on your own subdomain, a marketplace that brings customers to you, and leads from $10. Your brand, with clear, published fees.
