Seller fees
Free to join. One simple commission when you sell.
No subscriptions, no listing fees, no monthly billing. Ubuntu Crafts charges a per-sale commission only when an item actually sells.
The formula
Net earnings =
Sale Price − (Sale Price × Commission % + Fixed Fee)
The standard baseline is 10% + N$0.30 per sold item. Administrators can set lower or higher rates for specific crafts or categories — for example, lower rates on high-value wood carvings and fine-art sculpture. The applicable rate is always shown in your listing's earnings preview before you publish.
