Question Fee System, How Does It Work?

[Bullmama DeLano]

How does the fee system work? Say if you charge a 5 cent insertion fee, how does that eventually get to you?

At the moment a user has their fees created at the completion of their listing... that includes any fee costs for featuring items, etc. They then can pay this like a user would be paid for their listing.

At the moment it's not easily discernible when a user is required to pay the fees. I'll try and add something in to make it clearer for the next update.

With regards to how the fees actually work (partly answering your question from your PM to me)...

If a user has a listing for sale at 1 cent and the system has a 3% commission... the fee would likely be unpayable... so there is an option to set the minimum price when listing the item... which should really be set to something viable... i.e. will result in more than at least 1 cent.

If you choose to have a set price for the listing then the minimum price for the listing doesn't really matter.

In both cases the fees are created for the seller even if the configuration is set in a way that a seller would pay more in fees than they receive for the item.

I hope that helps with your question.
