What does Marka charge to sell?
Marka charges a 0% marketplace fee. A card sale through Marka checkout pays Stripe's processing fee (2.9% + CA$0.30, which is CA$3.20 on a CA$100 sale), and that fee goes to Stripe, not to Marka. A sale paid in cash at pickup pays no marketplace fee and no card fee. Marka's paid plans (see pricing) are separate and not counted here.
Which marketplace has the lowest seller fees?
At a CA$100 sale, Facebook Marketplace (local sale) keeps nothing, the least of the five, and Poshmark the most (CA$20.00). Marka charges no marketplace fee: on a card sale Stripe's processing fee is CA$3.20, and a cash sale at pickup pays none.
