Whatnot moves to volume tiers: commission falls as four-week sales grow
US sellers' commission now depends on total sales in each four-week period. The standard tier ($0-14,999) is still 8% (4% for coins). Tier 1 starts at $15,000; the top published tier ($500,000+) pays 3.5% (coins) to 6.5% (sports, TCG). Payment processing of 2.9% + $0.30 still applies.
Your net on a $10 / $25 / $50 sale: $0.00 / $0.00 / $0.00
Standard tier: no change. A Tier 1 fashion seller (7%) keeps $0.10, $0.25 and $0.50 more.
