We want the payout structure to be clear. Your share is based on the final sale tier and applied to the net proceeds after marketplace fees and approved direct selling costs.
| Final Sale Price | Seller Share | The Recycle Room Share |
|---|---|---|
| $250 to $499.99 | 50% | 50% |
| $500 to $999.99 | 60% | 40% |
| $1000+ | 70% | 30% |
Net proceeds means the final sale price minus marketplace fees and approved direct selling costs.
Your payout is your percentage tier multiplied by those net proceeds for accepted items, which generally start at a realistic resale value of $250 or more.
Approved direct selling costs can include things like shipping materials, paid promotion, or authentication expenses when applicable.
