Fee Amounts (Sellers)


The fee description field that is available for each fee can be customized.  This description is used in the billing invoice.

Use Aggregate Final Percentage Fees – (ON or OFF) This setting will only take effect if final percentage fee tiers are used.  Please see the example below.

              Example:  The final fee settings are set to charge the following amount:

                      $0.00 - $25.00 = 5%

            $25.01- $100.00 = 2.5%

            $100.01 = 1.0%

             An item sells with a final price of $125.00.  If this option is set to ON, the final percentage fee is calculated as follows:
                                  

                                  ($25.00 x 5.0%) ($75.00 x 2.5%) ( $25.00 x 1.0%) = the final percentage fee

 
              If this option is set to OFF the final percentage fee is calculated as follows:

 
                                  $125.00 x 1.0% = the final percentage fee
