I'm building with the Soldgraph API. It returns sold and for-sale listings from eBay and other resale marketplaces. Read the docs first: https://soldgraph.com/llms.txt OpenAPI spec: https://soldgraph.com/openapi.json Rules for the code you write: - Base URL: https://api.soldgraph.com/v1 - Auth: send the header "Authorization: Bearer <key>". Read the key from the SOLDGRAPH_KEY environment variable. Never put it in browser code. - eBay sold prices: GET /ebay/sold?q=<search words>. Add count=200 for up to 200 rows. - A search often answers 202 with status "pending" and a poll_url. Request https://api.soldgraph.com plus poll_url with ?wait=20 and the same header, until status is "complete" or "failed". - Read result.summary for the median, low and high price. The rows are in result.data, each with title, displayed_price, sold_date and link. - Each completed search uses one request. The free plan has 100 a month, so save results while testing instead of repeating a search. Start with a short script that prints the median sold price for "nintendo switch oled". Then ask me what I want to build.
8% commission on the item price in most categories (4% for coins), plus 2.9% + $0.30 payment processing on the full order, including shipping and tax.
Commission is charged on the item price only, never on shipping or tax.
Whatnot moved to tiered commission on Sep 21, 2026. Your sales over a rolling four weeks set your rate for the next four weeks. Sellers under $15,000 stay at 8%. Higher tiers go down to 6.5% for cards and lower for other categories.
If you've reached a lower tier, type your rate into "Your commission".
Each marketplace's own fee page, checked on Oct 6, 2026. The sources are linked under the calculator. When a marketplace changes its fees, we update the rate and the date.
Look at what the same item actually sold for, not what it's listed at. Soldgraph's API returns sold prices from eBay, Mercari, Poshmark and other marketplaces, with the median and range for any search. A free key covers 100 searches a month.
