Seller fees
0% commission. Your sale price is yours.
Cheeky does not take a cut of your sale price. Sellers only pay the exact banking, identity, and accountability costs used to run the marketplace, while buyers cover a flat 15% service fee at checkout.
Fee breakdown
The full fee breakdown.
Commission, buyer fees, onboarding, payouts, cancellations, and returns in one place.
1. Core economics
The sale price belongs to the seller. The marketplace makes money from the buyer checkout fee instead of taking commission from each item.
| Fee item | Amount | Who pays | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seller commission | 0% | Seller | Cheeky does not take a commission from the listed sale price of your item. |
| Buyer service fee | 15% | Buyer | Added at checkout to support secure payments, fraud protection, and customer support. |
2. Setup and payouts
These are the routine seller-side platform charges.
| Fee item | Amount | Timing | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account setup and KYC | $5.00 | One time | Seller identity verification required to open a verified shop and keep the marketplace safer and lower fraud risk. |
| Standard payout | 2% | Per payout | Funds are automatically released to the seller's bank account 7 days after carrier delivery confirmation. |
| Express payout | 3.5% | Per payout | Funds settle immediately upon delivery confirmation for sellers who want faster cash flow. |
3. Returns and accountability
When something goes wrong, the side that caused the issue covers the correction cost.
| Scenario | Amount | Who pays | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Late dispatch fee | $3.00 | Seller | If an order is not scanned by the carrier within 3 full business days, excluding Saturdays and Sundays, a flat fee is deducted from payout. |
| Order cancellation | Passed through | Seller | If a seller cancels after payment, the cancellation fee equals the exact non-refundable company cost from payment networks, typically around 3% to 4% of the transaction. |
| Buyer-fault return | Shipping + 3.5% | Buyer | For fit issues, remorse, or a changed mind, the buyer pays return shipping and the 3.5% refund processing fee. The seller pays $0. |
| Seller-fault return | Shipping + 3.5% | Seller | For defective, misrepresented, or wrong-item orders, the seller covers return shipping and the 3.5% refund processing fee. |
Rule of thumb: buyer-caused returns stay with the buyer, and seller-caused issues stay with the seller.
