What to remember before pricing
- - The $0.80 minimum matters most on low-price shipped items.
- - A $5 shipped checkout sale has a $0.80 fee, not a $0.50 fee.
- - The minimum does not make local pickup fee-bearing in the modeled seller-fee scenario.
- - Low-priced shipped items need a price floor check because the minimum can raise the effective rate.

Price the listing before it goes live
Use the exact marketplace, category, shipping setup, and cost of goods you expect to list with. That gives you a real payout baseline instead of a fee estimate from memory.
Use the real sale assumptions you would list with, not the ideal version you hope the buyer accepts.

Turn the rule into a route decision
For cheap accessories, books, toys, and small lots, check the minimum before listing. Local pickup or bundling can be better than absorbing the low-price shipped minimum.
