What is the Marketplace service fee?
We work hard to make our Marketplace a user-friendly and secure shopping experience. The service fee helps cover the cost of payments and shipping providers, operations, customer support, new feature development and platform improvements.
As of October 1, 2024, when you make a purchase, a service fee of $2.95 will be charged. The service fee is charged on each item. The service fee will be displayed as an itemized component of the final price of your item on the checkout page.
NOTE: If Square is used as the payment processor, items priced at $1.96 or less will have an adjusted service fee equal to 60% of the total cost.
Will the marketplace service fee change if I buy multiple items?
The $2.95 service fee is charged on each item. Currently, if you buy multiple items, you checkout for each item as a single order. We plan to improve this experience in the future.
Will the marketplace service fee be refunded if I cancel or return my item?
The service fee is charged to the buyer and may be refunded, depending on the reason for cancellation or return.
