Direct answer
Facebook Marketplace local pickup sales usually need a 0% marketplace fee scenario when the buyer pays you outside Marketplace checkout. The cost still matters, but it is usually item cost, meeting time, packaging, cleaning, boost spend, and discount room rather than a platform selling fee.
For shipping and checkout planning, model the current Facebook Help Center selling-fee result: 10% selling fee or $0.80 minimum. The selling fee applies to the total cost, including tax and shipping, so a shipped order can have a higher fee base than the item price alone.
If a shipped Marketplace item sells for $100, the buyer pays $8 shipping and $7 tax, the planning selling fee base is $115. At a 10% fee, the selling fee estimate is $11.50 before item cost, seller label cost, packaging, boost budget, and return reserve.
Marketplace fee FAQ
Use a 0% marketplace fee scenario for a local handoff if payment is not processed through Marketplace checkout. Still include item cost, pickup time, cleaning, packaging, boosts, and your minimum acceptable offer.
Start with the current Help Center selling fee, then check whether buyer-paid shipping, tax, seller-paid label cost, and payout timing apply to your exact listing.
The result can be wrong if your listing is not eligible for shipping, the buyer pays outside checkout, Meta changes fees, taxes are handled differently, or a refund, return, claim, chargeback, or label adjustment changes payout.
