The channels beyond the big apps
Vinted, Depop, eBay, Whatnot and Etsy run the checkout, hand you a label and step in when a sale goes wrong. On the channels here, more of that job is yours: payment, postage, evidence and safety. Sometimes lower fees, usually fewer safety nets. Choosing where to sell compares the big five.
| Channel | Platform fee | Safety net |
|---|---|---|
| Facebook Marketplace | None known (check the current figure (opens in a new tab)) | None on local pick-ups |
| TikTok Shop UK | 9% (VAT included) (checked 28 Sep 2026, source 2) commission | TikTok's checkout and returns, once accepted |
| Only your payment provider's fee | Only what your payment method gives you | |
| Your own website | Monthly plan plus card fees | Your own policies and payment provider |
| Markets and fairs | Pitch fee set by the organiser | The buyer checks the piece before paying |
