Whatnot Seller Fees and Commissions Schedule

Seller Fees and Commissions

• 8% sales commission (4% on Coins & Money) on the sold price of an item. However, in Europe, Whatnot charges an industry-low commission of 6.67% + VAT (4.00% + VAT for Coins & Money) on the purchase price of sold items.
  • While we use the term “fee(s)” broadly in this article, for clarity, a “commission” is a charge calculated as a percentage of the sold price of an item (i.e. a sales commission). Whatnot does not charge sellers for the creation, storage, retrieval, or maintenance of listings, nor any similar or ancillary services related to such listings.
• 2.9% + 30 cents/pence payment processing fee for each transaction
  • The payment processing fee applies to the subtotal, tax (U.S. and Canada), and the shipping price paid by a buyer for a given order.

In certain circumstances, Whatnot is required to charge tax on our Commissions and Fees. The applicable taxes depend upon the seller’s location and, outside the U.S., a seller's tax registration status. For more information, please see this article.
