Common questions
Assumptions that change the answer
Is there still a payment-processing fee?
No separate processing fee applies to listings under the current structure effective January 6, 2025.
Does Buyer Protection reduce seller payout?
No. It is buyer-paid and is shown in buyer total rather than seller deductions.
What about old listings?
This schedule is only for listings created or updated under the current structure; it does not reuse the older 10% buyer-fee model.
