Our service is completely free of charge for individual sellers to create a posting. If you choose to utilize Stripe transactions, you will be charged a flat fee of 5% from maker exchange. These are the only fees you will be charged for using Maker Exchange.
Why is there a transaction fee?:
Stripe charges Maker Exchange a fee for each transaction that happens on the marketplace. The fee is a combination of a percentage of the total transaction price and a fixed fee. The fee depends on the country where your Stripe account is located and the country related to the payment card. According to Stripe's page the fee's are the following:
Listing:
When listing, please include as much information as possible so healthcare workers and hospitals seeking PPE have a clear understanding of the product they are purchasing.
Refunds/Cancellations:
Refunds and cancellations should be on a case by base basis and mutually agreed upon by both the maker and buyer. Users should notify relevant parties as quickly as possible if they need to cancel or refund. We are not responsible for refunds or cancellation and do not offer a guarantee so we can only refund the payment from PayPal with both party consent (see below for the legal version of this).
