Agreements Overview

The specifics of the commission outlined in a seller agreement dictate how payouts are calculated and what portion of the revenue is retained by the marketplace.

The commission structure on an agreement defines what the marketplace earns from each sale. The commission is deducted from a seller's payout. Commissions can be percentage based, flat-rate fees, or a combination of both.

You can adjust the commission and fee structure at any time. However, for accounting purposes, previously calculated commissions will maintain their original rates. See changing a seller's agreement for more information.
