Reading the all-in price

We try hard to make pricing predictable. Every listing card and every checkout shows the same building blocks in the same order.

What's in the total

A typical listing total breaks down as:

• Item price — what the seller asks
• Shipping to your country — based on the seller's shipping rate table and the format
• Estimated import charges — only shown if you are outside the EU

There is no platform fee on top. There is no buyer commission. We do not change the number you see between the listing card and the payment screen.

Why we make a point of this

On many marketplaces, the listed price is missing two things: a buyer fee that appears at checkout, and a commission that the seller has already added on top of their net price. By the time you check out, you might be paying 15–20 % more than the listing card suggested.

Our membership model means sellers are not pricing in a commission. And we never add a buyer fee. So the listing card is honest.

EU vs. non-EU

• EU buyers: the total shown is what you pay. No customs forms, no surprises.
• Non-EU buyers: we show an estimated import-VAT band and a carrier handling fee (typically €6–€8) — but your country's customs authority sets the final amount. We can't promise an exact figure. See Shipping & customs.

In the cart

When you add multiple items from the same seller, the cart re-calculates shipping as one combined parcel. The marginal cost of each additional item is shown live — that "+1 record costs +€2.30 shipping" line is meant to make bundling visibly worth it.
