Understanding Transaction Fees

As a seller on ComeMarket, it’s important to understand the transaction fees associated with each sale. These fees support platform operations, payment security, and marketing efforts that bring more customers to your products. By knowing how they work, you can price products effectively and protect your profits.

1. What Are Transaction Fees?

Transaction fees are percentage-based or fixed amounts deducted from each sale. They may include:

  • Marketplace Fee – a percentage of the sale price (excluding taxes and shipping) that supports platform maintenance and development.
  • Payment Processing Fee – a fee charged by payment providers (credit cards, PayPal, Stripe, etc.) for secure processing.
  • Other Service Fees – optional fees if you use premium features like advertising tools or highlighted listings.

2. Example Breakdown

Example for a product priced at $100:

  • Marketplace Fee: 5% = $5
  • Payment Processing Fee: 2.9% + $0.30 = $3.20
  • Total Transaction Fees = $8.20
  • Net Earnings = $91.80

*Note:* Exact fees may vary depending on your region, account type, or promotions. Always check the latest structure in your Seller Dashboard → Fees section.

3. Managing and Reducing Fees

Tips to keep your profits healthy:

  • Set Competitive Prices – factor in fees when pricing products.
  • Optimize Listings – better product pages = more sales, balancing out costs.
  • Consider Shipping Costs – since fees exclude shipping, ensure your shipping rates cover actual costs.

4. Accessing Fee Information

You can view a breakdown of fees in the Earnings/Transactions section of your Seller Dashboard. Each sale shows: marketplace fee, payment processing fee, and any additional service fees. This transparency helps you track costs and plan for net earnings.
