How Whatnot fees work
Whatnot charges an 8% commission on the final sale price plus a 2.9% + $0.30 payment processing fee. On a $50 sale that is $4.00 commission plus $1.75 processing, or $5.75 in total fees.
- Commission: 8% on the final sale price in most categories.
- Payment processing: 2.9% + $0.30 on the full transaction.
- Shipping: often passed to the buyer; if you price it in, commission applies to it too.
- High-value orders: reduced or 0% commission can apply above category thresholds (processing still applies).

Price every Whatnot 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 Whatnot in seconds.
