OpenSea Fees vs Other NFT Marketplaces: Gas and Platform Fees Compared

OpenSea charges sellers a 1% platform fee on NFT sales, plus any creator earnings the collection sets, and both buyers and sellers pay blockchain gas fees for on-chain actions. Gas is now cheap on most networks: on October 21, 2026, Etherscan estimated an NFT sale on Ethereum at about $0.08, and on Base, Polygon and Solana a transaction costs a fraction of that. Among the other major marketplaces, Magic Eden and Tensor charge 2% on Solana, Rarible charges 2% on its EVM chains and 1.5% on Solana, and Blur charges nothing but is closing its website on November 12, 2026.
