How are Whatnot’s payment processing fees calculated?

Sellers will be charged 2.9% + 30 cents/pence payment processing for the subtotal + tax (US and CA) + shipping.

Example below:

• If you sell an item for $25, and the buyer pays $25 + $4 shipping + $2.19 tax. The buyer’s credit card is charged $31.19. 
• 2.9% will apply to the full amount the buyer was charged ($31.19), for a total amount of $0.90 + 30c.
• In this example, the increase in payment processing fees is $0.17 on a $25 sale
