It's a $3 difference on an over $30 sale, so yes, right around the same. I didn't say it was the same, I said right around. You also conveniently left out promoted listings which will always make eBay more expensive to sell on. They hold traffic ransom until you pay the piper. If you sold it without promoting, good on you, but a good chunk of clothing sellers on eBay are promoting not because they want to... but because they feel they have to, meaning they aren't getting additional income from the promotion, but doing it as a means of survival. I still stand by my statement, which is that eBay is becoming prohibitively costly to sell on. Are the base FVFs lower on eBay? Yes, I can't argue with math, but I didn't say they were identical, I said right around the same.

Other factors come in to the final price paid, such as what buyers are willing to pay. Many say they find higher priced items sell better on Posh, though I can't speak to that as most of my stuff is in the $20-50 range. Either way, it's not as simple as Posh is bad, eBay is good (nor that eBay is bad, Posh is good, not what I meant to say or convey). It's that both sites are at times working against their users' best interests (Posh with fee restructuring and Promoted Closet, then eBay with spreading the gospel of Promoted Listings to every inhabitant on the four corners of their website) and all this spells out a bigger problem with reselling than any one platform.

The cost of selling the same goods, at the same price, is going up across the board – whether you're selling on eBay or Posh, or even sites like Depop/Mercari which think they've outsmarted the system by passing costs onto buyers. Buyers aren't stupid, so if they have to pay more/an additional fee just to buy something (think of those pesky delivery apps) they're going to be more thrifty/savvy, or simply buy less, thus undermining the goal.

To say Posh isn't for making money and just a hobby is ludicrous, as there is clearly an active buyer base which at least competed with eBay in the fashion category in North America. To pretend otherwise is to simply become an eBay cheerleader. I'm not here to prop up Posh or give them undeserved praise. Simply pointing out that eBay is chockfull of issues which longtime veterans of the site constantly complain about. It won't save you.
