The prices at which commission changes on Amazon, Walmart, Etsy, eBay and in India.
Most marketplaces charge a commission (they call it a referral fee) as a percentage of your selling price. On many marketplaces the percentage depends on the price. On some, when your price crosses a set amount, the new percentage applies to the whole price. Price just above that amount and you can keep less money than you would just below it.
How to use this: find your marketplace and category below. Where the fee jumps, keep your price clearly below that amount, or far enough above it that the higher price covers the higher fee. Where the rate changes only on the part of the price above an amount, there is no jump.
These are commission rates only. Closing fees, fulfilment, payment and conversion charges, duty and VAT are extra; the Ecommerce Exports Calculator adds all of them.
