5% selling fee, plus processing

Reverb's selling fee is 5% of the item price plus shipping, capped at a maximum per sale ($500 in US dollars) so it doesn't keep climbing on very expensive gear. A separate payment processing fee applies on top: 3.19% + $0.49 for most sellers, or 2.99% + $0.49 for Reverb Preferred Sellers.

Reverb fees = min(5% × (item + shipping), cap) + (processing % × total with tax) + $0.49

Example (the calculator's starting numbers, US, not Preferred)

Item + shipping: $500 + $25 = $525.00
Selling fee (5%): $26.25
Processing (3.19% of $567 + $0.49): $18.58

Reverb's fees total $44.83 (8.5%), so you receive $480.17. After a $300 gear cost and $25 label, profit is $155.17.

Cross-border, conversion and Bump

Cross-border fee (1%) applies when the buyer's bank is outside your country. Sales within the European Economic Area count as domestic, so this doesn't apply there.
Currency conversion (2.5%) applies if your listing currency differs from your payout currency.
Bump is optional paid promotion charged on the item price only when a Bumped listing sells, at the rate you set in Reverb's Bump settings.
