How the math works
The platform fee is 1% of the item subtotal on a completed marketplace sale. Payment processing is an estimate (2.9% + $0.30) shown on its own line; shipping is pass-through and never marked up; taxes are calculated and remitted separately. Lead-only categories (vehicles, real estate) have no completed-sale platform fee.
