Understanding Fees & Commissions

Payments & Fees

Fees include a monthly subscription fee and commission deducted from each sale. How much commission you’ll be charged depends on the type of product you sold.

Monthly fee

Commission
We charge a seller referral fee (aka commission) for each transaction completed on Conrad Marketplace. Commission ranges from 5 to 15 percent (not including VAT), depending on the type of product being sold.
Full details about how much commission you pay for each product are available here.

Calculation example

As a Conrad marketplace seller, you supplied an HDD at a basic selling price of €35.00€ (net). Shipping the item to the buyer amounts to €3.00 (net). We charge commission of 5% on the sale of HDDs (as of July 2020).

How we calculate commission:
