Seller fees
No listing fees. You only pay when you sell. The same fees apply across the marketplace, the swipe feed, community hubs, auctions, lay-bye, and service runs. Everything is transparent and rounded to the cent.
What you pay per sale
| Fee | Amount | Paid by |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | Free | - |
| Sales commission on the item price only, not on delivery or tip |
5.0% | Buyer (added at checkout) |
| Buyer protection fee funds the escrow and dispute service |
R 14.90 | Buyer (added at checkout) |
| PayFast processing absorbed by Me2You, you never see it on your invoice |
~3.5% + R 2 | Me2You (out of commission) |
| Payout (EFT) | Free (Friday batch) | - |
| Instant payout (optional) | R 10 | Seller |
Worked example
You list an iPhone for R 4 500. Buyer pays courier delivery (R 60) and tips the driver R 10.
| Item price | R 4 500.00 |
| Buyer commission (5.0%) | + R 225.00 |
| Buyer protection fee | + R 14.90 |
| Courier delivery | + R 60.00 |
| Driver tip | + R 10.00 |
| Buyer pays total | R 4 809.90 |
| You receive (after delivery + buyer accepts) | R 4 500.00 |
The full item price goes to you. The commission and protection fees are added on top for the buyer - you keep 100% of your asking price.
When you get paid
- Buyer pays at checkout - funds go into escrow (held by Me2You).
- You dispatch the item or hand it off.
- Buyer confirms receipt OR the 48-hour auto-release timer fires.
- Funds release from escrow to your seller balance.
- Every Friday at 16:00, all released balances are paid out via EFT (free) - or you can request an instant payout for R 10.
