| Platform | Total Sale | Shipping Paid to Courier | Marketplace Fees | Vendor Keeps After Shipping | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ausmosis | $49.95 | -$10.00 | -$3.16 (5% on item only) | $36.79 | Keep 100% of your shipping revenue |
| Etsy | $49.95 | -$10.00 | ~-$4.69+ (includes fee on shipping + listing fee) | ~$35.26 | Takes a fee on shipping; per-item listing fees add up |
| Amazon AU | $49.95 | -$10.00 | ~-$6.00+ (category referral fees) | ~$33.95 | High category fees; subscription and ads often required |
| eBay Australia | $49.95 | -$10.00 | ~-$7.50+ (fees on product and shipping) | ~$32.45 | Fees charged on both item price and shipping |
