How it works

How Facebook Marketplace charges in the UK

For a normal UK Marketplace sale, the buyer pays you directly, by cash, bank transfer or however you agree, so there’s no Facebook fee to take. If you post the item, you set the postage and pay for it yourself.

How it sellsFee
Local collectionNone
You arrange delivery and paymentNone from Facebook
Facebook checkout with deliveryNot offered in the UK at the moment. Meta’s checkout terms list 2% of the total for the UK

In the US, Marketplace checkout charges a 10% selling fee (at least US$0.80), but that doesn’t apply to UK sellers. Payment apps you use with the buyer may have their own fees.

Not fully confirmed: Facebook’s UK help pages say checkout with delivery “isn’t available in your location at the moment”, but Meta’s checkout terms still list a 2% fee for the UK. The 2% option follows those terms in case it comes back. Facebook doesn’t publish a page that says local sales are free; they are because the money never goes through Facebook.

Does Facebook Marketplace charge fees in the UK?

Not for local sales or sales where you arrange payment and delivery with the buyer yourself. Facebook’s own checkout with delivery, which does charge a fee, isn’t offered in the UK at the moment.

Can you ship items on Facebook Marketplace in the UK?

You can post items yourself if you agree it with the buyer, but Facebook’s built-in checkout with delivery isn’t available in the UK right now, according to Facebook’s help pages.

Is the 10% Facebook Marketplace fee charged in the UK?

No. The 10% selling fee (at least US$0.80) is for shipped orders with checkout in the US. Meta’s checkout terms list 2% for the UK.
