Background
There are two charges to plan around: a monthly seller subscription, and a commission taken on each sale. The subscription is the same whatever you sell. The commission is not — it is set per selling category, and the range in the table above is wide enough that a seller working from a single remembered number will be wrong on most of their catalogue.
Commission is charged on everything the buyer pays, postage included. Charging separately for delivery does not move that postage outside the commissionable amount, and offering free delivery does not remove it either — it just moves the cost into the item price, where it is still commissionable. When you compare your costs across marketplaces, compare them on delivered totals or the comparison is meaningless.
Listing costs nothing, so a catalogue that does not sell costs nothing to hold beyond the subscription. That makes breadth cheap and makes the per-sale arithmetic the only thing that decides whether a SKU is worth stocking.
Re-Pricer connects to the marketplace API to reprice listings, and the same connection returns the fee tiers. This page is generated from that data rather than maintained by hand, so it does not go stale the way a written-up fee table does. It shows headline rates only: a small number of categories carry a second, reduced rate above a value threshold, and rather than publish a threshold we cannot verify we leave it out. Always check your own control panel before pricing on a fine margin.
Knowing the rate is the start. Re-Pricer applies it to every listing automatically and will not let a price fall below what your costs and that commission allow.
Re-Pricer knows what each listing is charged and holds a floor that accounts for it, on every cycle.
