When you open an Spandooly Store, all the options are available to you without any limitations. Visit our Seller Center to learn more about the benefits of opening an Spandooly Store.
We'll bill you for your Store every month until you cancel your subscription. To find out how fees are charged when you change your Store level or cancel your subscription/close your Store, please read our Stores Subscription Terms of Service.
There are no fees or limitations on the amount of the items that you added to the system. We only incur fees from the sellers only when they make any sell either on fixed price listing or by selling the item over auction. But, there are fees incurred on cancelling the auction item if there are bids.
We charge a final value fee when your item sells.
This fee is calculated as a percentage of the total amount of the sale. The total amount of the sale is the amount the buyer pays, including any shipping and handling charges. Sales tax is not included in the calculation.
Final value fee amounts are capped. The amount of the cap is determined by your Store subscription type and the listing category, as indicated in the tables below.
If for some reason the buyer doesn't pay, you need to either cancel the sale or report it as an unpaid item in order to be eligible for a final value fee credit.
Final value fees on shipping are based on the cost of the shipping service the buyer chooses. However, if you offer 1-day or international shipping as well as a cheaper or free option (like domestic shipping), the final value fee is calculated based on the cheapest domestic option you offer.
If you only offer 1-day or international shipping but no cheaper option like domestic shipping, you'll be charged a final value fee based on the service the buyer chooses.
You can enhance your listings to help make them stand out by adding certain features, such as subtitle or bold font. The fees for these optional listing upgrades vary depending on your item's price and the listing format and duration.
If you relist your items automatically in our business tool or by using Selling Manager automation rules, you'll be charged insertion and optional listing upgrade fees each time your item is relisted.
Please keep in mind that not all optional listing upgrades are available with every listing tool and not all optional listing upgrades may be displayed across all our sites, services, applications, and tools.
You may be charged final value fees if you violate our policy of buying or selling outside of Spandooly, or we may apply additional final value fees if you are not meeting our performance expectations.
If you offer or reference your contact information or ask a buyer for their contact information in the context of buying or selling outside of Spandooly, you'll be charged a final value fee based on the total amount of the sale even if your item doesn't sell. In this situation, the total amount of the sale is determined as follows:
Additional final value fees may apply on sales in the following circumstances:
Final value fees are capped in most categories - the maximum amount is determined by the listing category and your Store subscription. However, the additional final value fees for sellers who do not meet our minimum performance standards and/or who have a Very High rate of 'Item not as described' return requests, are not subject to maximum final value fee caps. Any additional final value fees will be calculated as a percentage of the total amount of the sale, including shipping. We'll indicate which listings are subject to additional fees on your Account Summary.
Note: If your account isn't meeting our minimum seller performance standards and you're rated Very High in your rate of 'Item not as described' return requests, you'll only be charged the additional final value fee for not meeting our minimum seller performance standards.

Auction-style listing example 1
You're a Basic Store subscriber and you're selling a purse using a 10-day duration. You select a starting price of €199 with a Buy It Now price of €400, and you offer free shipping. You haven't yet used your allocation of zero insertion fee listings this month, and you are meeting our performance expectations.
The item sells immediately for the Buy It Now price of €400. Since you aren't charging the buyer for shipping or any other costs, €400 is the total amount of the sale.
Auction-style listing example 2
You're a Store subscriber and you're selling a new smartphone using a 7-day duration. You select a starting price of €450 and you add a reserve price of €700.
The item sells for €850 and the buyer chooses 1-day shipping for €15, even though you offered a cheaper domestic shipping option. The total amount of the sale is €865.
We always want to make sure we're very clear about the fees we charge, so here are some details you should be aware of:
