Title: What are vendor commission rates?
Post by: Vice City Bank on January 17, 2013, 09:57 pm
For example I have a $1000 cash in your mail box listing. I am doing pre-commission.

So the total at the end is 1,038.50.

I thought the commission for $1000 bucks is 2% which should equals 1020.

Have the commissions raised in price? Can some one please give me up to date commission details.

Thanks

Here are the commission charges of SR:

10% of the first $50
8.5% of $50 - 150
6% of $150 - 300
3% of $300 - 500
2% of $500 - 1000
1.5% for everything over $1000

Now, does this mean, the very first thing you sell on SR as a vendor and its 50 dollars, you get charge 10% and then say youve sold enough items that youve made over $1000. Does that mean everything after that is not 1.5%?

SR's Sellers Fees are:

10% of the first $50  so $5
8.5% of $50 - 150     +$8.50
6% of $150 - 300      +$9
3% of $300 - 500      +$6
2% of $500 - 1000     +$10
1.5% for everything over $1000"

so for a purchase of $1000 the total is 5 + 8.50 + 9 + 6 + 10 for the total of 38.50

The fees are for each item sold.  They are not based on the vendors gross sales.

I think it's fair, it's like taxes someone'd like to pay.

Dude set up, and maintains a site for us to sell and buy drugs on. And, he shouldn't make any money? Even a total of 3.85% on a $1000?

I wonder what the total business is at SR. Say, annually.

I read online that there is an estimated $22 million in goods sold a year.  Who knows if that is in fact the actual number or not but I believe that SR is definitely seeing growth due to efforts in the media.  I'm sure DPR is doing well but I am sure this is not a cheap operation to run annually and I'm sure that is why the fees seem high to many.
