Seller fees & seller levels

What sellers pay

Marketplace fees are a percentage of the order total (basis points) taken on the seller side at settlement. There is no separate buyer-side “platform markup” added on top of the listing price in the standard checkout transparency copy — buyers see the seller’s listing total for the line; wallet applies first; any card or crypto remainder follows the fees shown at checkout (Checkout: wallet, card & crypto).

Seller levels (1–5): what they mean

Levels are computed from your trailing 30-day performance (paid sales, paid orders, and positive feedback share for 4–5★). The live Seller rewards page shows your current level, progress bars, and any gating messages.

Level	Fees (direction)	Unlocks & benefits (summary)
1	Baseline — typically the highest fee % in your category row	Full seller access once verified; highlight credits accrue per Seller rewards rules (lifetime sales + donations)
2	Lower than level 1 for the same listing type	Unlocks bulk import & export (with verification); fees begin stepping down in several categories
3–4	Further reductions vs level 2	Stronger fee tiers; better positioning for reward / highlight mechanics tied to performance
5	Lowest fee band we publish for your category / game / sale kind	Best fee tier; still subject to behaviour policy and dispute outcomes

Highlights (24h listing promotion) and donation-linked highlight credits are separate from level math but show on the same hub — see Seller rewards & highlights.

How the fee percentage is chosen

Your seller level (1–5), game (OSRS vs RS3), category (gold, items, accounts, services/boosting), and set-priced vs auction all affect the fee bps (basis points; 100 bps = 1%). Higher levels generally mean lower fees in the same category.

Examples (illustrative — always use live checkout)

OSRS

• Gold — about 1.5% at seller levels 1–2, then about 1% from level 3 upward.
• Items (set-priced) — from about 4.5% at low levels down to about 3% at level 5.
• Items (auction) — higher than set-priced at the same level.
• Accounts — higher bps than items; auction accounts higher still than set-priced.
• Services (boosting) — high band (about 15% at levels 1–2 down to about 12% at level 5).

RS3

• Gold uses different bps than OSRS (higher at low levels, still stepping down with level) — read the fee on your listing.
• Services (boosting) fees are lower than OSRS services at the same level (about 10% at levels 1–2 down to about 8.5% at level 5).

RS3 items/accounts follow their own matrix rows — always trust the live fee shown with your listing and checkout.
