How the Reverb fee is calculated
Both the selling fee and processing are charged on item price plus shipping. Sales tax Reverb collects is not part of the selling fee.
On high-value gear the $500 cap matters: anything over $10,000 pays no more selling fee.
Why a Reverb fee hurts more on cheap items
Drag the price. The percentage part of the fee stays the same, but any fixed charge is spread over fewer dollars, so the share of the sale you lose climbs as the price falls.
On a $10.00 sale Reverb takes $1.31, which is 13.1% of the money.
