Quibly charges two types of fee: a platform fee on transactions, and an optional subscription fee if you choose a paid plan. Here’s a quick overview of both.
Platform fees
Buyer platform fee
When browsing items, the prices you see already include the platform fee and shipping, so there are no extra costs added at checkout. You’ll always see the full breakdown before you commit.
Buyer fee: 4% of (item price + shipping) + £0.50
See Understanding buyer fees for more details.
Seller platform fee
As a seller, your platform fee is always shown at the time of listing and deducted automatically from your payout once the order completes. There’s nothing to pay upfront or manage manually. The seller platform fee depends on your plan:
Free and Enterprise sellers: 4% of (item price + shipping) + £0.50
Pro and Power sellers: 3% of (item price + shipping) + £0.50
Note: On Free, the seller fee is 4% + £0.50 or £1.20, whichever is higher. The £1.20 only applies to lower value items, where 4% + £0.50 would otherwise come to less.
See Understanding seller fees for more details.
Seller types
Quibly has three seller types: private seller, sole trader and registered company. Sole traders and registered companies are both business sellers. Your seller type doesn't affect the platform fee, but it does affect your return obligations and how you represent yourself to buyers. See Private vs business seller obligations for more information.
