Fees for the Entertainment Collectibles Store
In addition to the $39.99 monthly Professional Seller subscription fee, Sizzle deducts a percentage of the total sale price (including any shipping or gift wrap charges) as a referral fee, excluding any taxes collected through Sizzle’s Tax Calculation Services
Referral fees in the Entertainment Collectibles category are:
- 20% for the portion of total sale price up to $100
- 10% for the portion of total sale price greater than $100, up to $1000
- 6% for the portion of total sale price greater than $1000
For example, if you sell a $450 item with $50 shipping, the referral fee on the $500 total sale price is calculated as $20 (20% of $100) + $40 (10% of remaining $400) = $60 total referral fee.
Please note that additional fees may apply when using other services available to sellers in this category:
