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.
- The table assumes a category at Amazon's 15% "Everything Else" referral rate. Most categories run 8–17% (8% for Computers and Consumer Electronics, 17% for Clothing at CA$20 or more and Eyewear), and a few sit higher, so check your own category. The referral fee has a CA$0.40 minimum per item.
- The selling plan (CA$1.49/item sold or CA$29.99/mo) is charged on top of the referral fee and is not in the table. On a CA$100 sale the per-item plan would leave you CA$83.51 instead of CA$85.00.
- Amazon's pricing page lists both plans as "+ additional selling fees", so even with the plan added this is not everything Amazon can charge.
Work out your own sale
Amazon.ca's referral rate for the category you pick (15% on "Everything Else", the default), on the item price plus the shipping the buyer pays, with the per-item minimum where the category has one (CA$0.40 on most). The CA$1.49/item sold or CA$29.99/mo selling plan is extra and not included.

How the fee is made up
- Referral fee
- A percentage of the item's sale price, set by category: 8–17% on most categories (8% for Computers and Consumer Electronics, up to 17% for Clothing at CA$20 or more and Eyewear), 15% on "Everything Else", with a CA$0.40 minimum per item. A few categories sit higher: the pricing page lists Jewelry at 20% up to CA$325 and Amazon Device Accessories at 45%.
- Selling plan
- Individual: CA$1.49 per item sold. Professional: CA$29.99 per month. Referral fees are charged in addition to either plan. Professional costs less than Individual once you sell more than 20 items a month (CA$29.99 ÷ CA$1.49).
- Payouts
- Amazon.ca's pricing page says payments are dispersed into your bank account every two weeks.
