Why I built it
I wanted one place to compare all the selling apps side by side, because each platform explains its own fees but none of them tells you whether you’d keep more money selling the same item somewhere else. I built the calculator for UK sellers first, then made versions for Australia and Canada. Fees in Ireland are quite different from the UK’s: eBay and Depop still charge sellers here, while Vinted doesn’t. So Ireland has its own version, with Irish figures in euro.
Run from the UK
I’m not in Ireland, so I rely on the platforms’ own Irish pages and official sources such as Revenue, Citizens Information and An Post, and I link to them so you can check. If something works differently in practice, please tell me.
How the figures are checked
- Fees come from each platform’s own Irish fee pages. The calculator page links to a source for every platform.
- The date the fees were last checked is shown on every page. It currently reads 19 Oct 2026.
- When a platform changes its fees, I update the calculator and add the change to the fee change log.
- The results are estimates. Platforms sometimes vary fees by item, promotion or account type, so always check the final figure on the platform before you list.
Independent
This site isn’t connected to or endorsed by Vinted, eBay, Depop, Etsy, Facebook, DoneDeal, Adverts.ie, PayPal, An Post or any other company. Their names are trademarks of their owners and are used only to describe them. The ranking is worked out purely from each platform’s fees and the figures you type in. Nobody can pay to appear higher.
How the site makes money
Right now it doesn’t. The site is free to use, with no adverts and no affiliate links. If that changes, I’ll say so here and update the privacy page first. Any adverts or affiliate links would never change the calculator’s results or the order of the platforms.
Not advice
This site gives general information to help you compare selling options. It isn’t financial or tax advice. The guide to tax on selling online explains Revenue’s main rules in plain English; for your own situation, check revenue.ie or a tax adviser.
