Fees MAC Marketplace Charges
Our vision is to ensure our sellers' bottom line are part of our vision of success. To this end, our mission is to never charge you, our sellers, additional fees for services we include. The only fee difference is at the membership levels. Our sellers always have control over the membership levels they choose.
As we stated from the beginning, we will not nickel and dime our sellers with additional fees for listing products, storing your product images, fees for categorizing your products, fees for selling your products, or other fees. The only charge MAC Marketplace will impose is your monthly or annual subscription fees.
MONTHLY & ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS
To be completely open and transparent, we will only charge you a monthly or annual subscription fee. Your are always in control on when we will charge you for your subscription.
Charges are based on your subscription levels. The lowest price subscription level is the Round 1 of Found Membership. This is no longer available for purchase. Only those sellers who took advantage of this special offer will continue to get charged this rock bottom price.
The next level above the round 1 membership level is the Round 2 Founding Membership. This membership level is also open and available for a limited time. This offer is currently in effect and will run through midnight Sunday, May 5, 2024. Once this limited offer expires, the only available membership levels are the Basic, the Standard, and the Pro membership levels.
Although each level has access to different functions, features, and templates, we will still not charge you additional fees other then the monthly or annual membership assigned to each level.
WHY DON'T WE CHARGE ADDITIONAL STORE OR SELLING FEES
Our philosophy is to help our sellers. We think our membership levels should pay for the use of the MAC Marketplace without charging you additional fees. There are other marketplaces that charge additional fees, which takes away from your profits. Some are as high as 20%, and some are more.
It is up to each marketplace owner to charge their sellers what they want to charge. We feel if we set our subscription levels at the appropriate price point, we would not need to charge for services we create and make available for you now and in the future. We also strive to keep our fee structure transparent and with no hidden or hard to find service fees.
This is not to say, we will not increase the Basic, Standard, or Pro subscription levels. As technology continues to expand and improve, we might need to slightly increase those subscription level costs. We will of course communicate any changes in advance.
ADVERTISING FEES
At this time, the advertising and promotional content for your store and products are already included in your subscription levels. However, we do have future plans to charge a fee for utilizing our advertising department in creating and promoting special ads for you. This is a special function and will be for promotional purpose above what we provide all our sellers for free. This is not in place today and is not available for purchase at this time. We will announce when we make this function available and what the fee structure associated with this special promotional tool.
PARTNER FEES
The only other fees you may incur are the transactional fees from our partnership with other provides. For example, our payment processing partners will charge you fees for using there services. Their fees are set by them and we don’t charge you for using their services.
The other partnership would be around shipping. Our third part shipping providers may charge you for using their fees. We will not add charges in addition to what the shipping carriers charge.
SUMMARY
We will keep our unique stand in not charging you extra fees for services we feel should be included in your subscription levels. In basic terms, we will not have hidden seller fees. We hope to be one of the few marketplaces that will keep our sellers bottom line in our vision and as part of our north star.
