Direct answer
The modeled payout ranges from $80.00 to $100.00.
Under the exact scenarios below, Fiverr and standard Rover provider bookings return $80.00; Upwork returns $85.00–$100.00 because its fee is contract-specific; Etsy returns $90.05; eBay $86.00; and a direct Gumroad card sale $86.30. These are arithmetic outputs, not evidence that one platform is more profitable.
Published fee table
| Platform and scenario | Published fee | MOYUXB formula | Modeled payout | Material exclusions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Upwork Marketplace freelancer contract | 0% to 15% per contract | $100 − ($100 × contract fee) | $85.00–$100.00 | Connects, withdrawal costs, taxes, currency conversion, and special contract types. The exact fee is shown before a proposal or offer is sent. |
Fiverr Completed freelancer order | 20% of the purchase amount | $100 × 80% | $80.00 | Withdrawal costs, taxes, and currency conversion. |
Rover Standard U.S. pet-care provider booking | 20% per booking | $100 × 80% | $80.00 | California rules, U.S. pilot pricing, owner booking fees, tips, taxes, and other country rules. |
Etsy One U.S. listing sold through Etsy Payments | 6.5% transaction + 3% + $0.25 processing + $0.20 listing | $100 − $6.50 − $3.25 − $0.20 | $90.05 | Shop set-up, ads, shipping labels, currency conversion, deposit fees, taxes on fees, refunds, and cost of goods. |
eBay U.S. seller, most categories, within free-listing allowance | 13.6% final value + $0.40 per order | $100 − $13.60 − $0.40 | $86.00 | Sales tax already included in the $100 order total; insertion fees, promoted listings, shipping, returns, under-performance fees, and cost of goods are excluded. |
Gumroad Direct card sale through a profile or direct link | 10% + $0.50 platform; 2.9% + $0.30 card processing | $100 − $10.50 − $3.20 | $86.30 | Discover marketplace sales, PayPal, affiliate commissions, refunds, and taxes charged to the buyer. |
“Modeled payout” is a MOYUXB calculation from the cited fee inputs. Values are rounded to cents. The CSV preserves numeric low and high fields.
Method
- 1
Define one deliberately simplified baseline: a $100 gross transaction in U.S. dollars, before personal income tax and ordinary business costs.
- 2
Use each platform's current public help or pricing page. Record the seller-side or provider-side fee that applies to the named scenario, not the buyer's fee.
- 3
Calculate the payout with the formula printed in the table. For a fee range, publish a payout range instead of choosing an unsupported midpoint.
- 4
Exclude optional ads, refunds, currency conversion, withdrawal costs, sales tax on fees, shipping, inventory, and other costs unless the stated scenario requires them.
- 5
Reopen every source and recompute every row when the dataset is substantively updated. A build or styling change does not refresh the sample date.
Reproduction check
- Open the linked fee page and confirm the rule still matches the sampled rule.
- Substitute 100 for gross transaction value in the printed formula.
- Keep platform-specific exclusions outside the result.
- Compare the result to both the table and CSV numeric fields.
Privacy note: this comparison contains public fee rules only. No seller, freelancer, buyer, client, booking, or account data was collected; anonymization is therefore not applicable.

Limitations
- This is a fee-mechanics comparison, not a platform ranking. Fiverr services, Rover bookings, Etsy products, eBay goods, Gumroad downloads, and Upwork contracts are different businesses.
- A $100 baseline is illustrative. Fixed fees consume a larger share of smaller transactions, while tiered or variable fees can change at other values.
- Upwork shows the exact contract fee before a proposal or offer; its published 0%–15% range therefore produces a range here, not one typical payout.
- Rover notes California rules and a U.S. pricing pilot. Etsy payment processing varies by bank country. eBay fees vary by category and seller program.
- Net payout means gross transaction minus the listed platform charges only. It is not profit, take-home pay, or income after tax.
