Stripe direct charges. The seller is merchant of record; Marka never holds funds.
Marka takes 0% of your sales. Upgrade for tools, not better fees.
Pickup in cash or e-transfer with no platform fees, take cards via Stripe, or ship with any carrier — set a flat shipping price and add the tracking number.
Already on eBay? Mirroring your shop is coming.
Marka is meant to be a free additional sales channel for your existing inventory. eBay, Shopify and Etsy sync are coming soon; none can be connected yet. Your stock would stay in one place — Marka would mirror it for discovery and on-platform checkout.
No double-listing. No upload work. Zero added fees on Marka sales.
Ship with carriers your buyers trust.
Today, set a flat shipping price, ship with any carrier and add the tracking number. Carrier labels through Easyship, with its pre-negotiated discounted rates or your own linked courier account, are coming. Your carrier, your pricing.
What you'd pay per year on each platform.
Each platform's marketplace cut shown side-by-side, in CAD. Toggle Stripe processing on or off below — a fair comparison either way.
Per-sale fees only (Stripe processing included for Marka while the toggle is on). Plan fees aren't counted for anyone: Amazon's selling plan (CA$1.49/item sold or CA$29.99/mo) is left out, and so are Marka Pro (CA$29/month) and Marka Business (CA$99/month).
0% is the business model, not a promotion.
Zero-fee marketplaces have raised the number back up before. Three structural reasons this one stays where it is.
Marka's revenue is optional Pro and Business subscriptions. Checkout never computes a marketplace cut, so there is no rate sitting in the code waiting to be switched back on.
Stripe Connect charges your buyer's card directly on your account, and you are the merchant of record on the sale. Marka holds CA$0 of buyer money and runs no escrow.
CAD is the default listing currency, sellers name the city an item is in, pickup is coordinated in Marka chat, and our Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and Canada.
On sales tax: because you are the merchant of record, any GST/HST or provincial tax you are required to charge is yours to collect and remit. Marka does not calculate, collect, or remit it for you — and takes no percentage of it, because our percentage is zero. Whether you need to register at all depends on your own situation; ask an accountant.
How Marka compares.
We compare on the things sellers actually feel — marketplace fee, where the money lands, whether you can sync your existing shop. Pick a platform below to read the deep-dive.

Stop paying Amazon's usual 15% cut, plus CA$1.49/item sold or CA$29.99/mo, to a platform that competes against you.
Facebook takes 0% on local sales (paid off-platform). Marka adds card checkout.
All the local pickup, plus actual on-platform checkout when you want it.
List it. Sell it. Keep it.
Your sale, your Stripe account, your money. Marka coordinates discovery and checkout — never the funds in between.
Add photos, set your price, choose pickup, shipping, or both. Mirroring your eBay inventory is planned, not live yet.
Buyer pays with their card at checkout. Stripe charges your connected account — you're merchant of record, not Marka.
The payment lands in your own Stripe account, and Stripe pays your bank on its standard schedule (3 business days in Canada; your first payout usually takes 7–14 days). Marka takes 0%. We don't hold escrow.
