How Reverb fees work
Reverb charges a 5% selling fee on the total transaction (including shipping), plus a payment processing fee of 3.19% + $0.49 in the US. On a $500 gear sale that is $25 selling fee plus about $16.44 processing.
- Selling fee: 5% of the total transaction, including the shipping you charge.
- Payment processing: 3.19% + $0.49 per order (US).
- You pay only when it sells: listing on Reverb is free.
- Shipping: the selling fee applies to shipping you charge, so passing exact shipping to the buyer still incurs the 5%.

Price every Reverb flip for profit
Knowing the fees is only half the math. To actually profit, price from real sold comps, subtract these fees and your shipping, and hold a minimum margin. Our profit margin guide walks through it, and the what-is-it-worth guide shows how to find an item’s real value before you buy. Cluzy does both in one scan: it pulls live sold prices and nets out fees so you know your profit on Reverb in seconds.
Reverb fees FAQ
How much does Reverb take per sale?
Reverb takes a 5% selling fee plus 3.19% + $0.49 payment processing. On a $500 sale that is about $41.44 in fees, leaving roughly $458.56 before your item cost and shipping.
Is Reverb cheaper than eBay for music gear?
Often, yes. Reverb's all-in cost of about 8% to 9% is lower than eBay's ~13.6%, and its audience is specifically musicians and gear buyers, which can mean faster sales at fair prices.
Does Reverb charge a fee on shipping?
Yes. The 5% selling fee is calculated on the total transaction including the shipping amount you charge, so building shipping into the price does not avoid it.
