Fee overview
- Choose the matching category on each marketplace; rates differ a lot.
- Base fees are spread over the monthly order count stored in each calculator. With few orders, high base fees hurt.
- The VAT setting assumes a VAT-registered seller who can deduct it.
- Advertising, returns and discounts are excluded, so real margins are lower.
