Fees
If you sell products on SmartWorld (SW), you are a Vendor. When you sign up to be a Vendor, you must choose a Plan. Choose the Free Plan or the 3% Plan.
With the Free Plan, you pay only 6% of the list price of your product when you make a sale.
If you want that cut in half, sign up for the 3% Plan. It is only $98 per year.
As long as you renew each year, that percentage will NEVER go up!
With both plans, you are paid immediately when a sale is made.
PayPal charges a fee of 2.9% of the proceeds of the sale (including shipping) + 30 cents. This is a fee to process the sale, send your money to your bank, and protect all parties to the transaction after the sale.
