Our Marketplace Model
Our Marketplace Model: Built for Sellers, Designed for Savings
At EzBuyCo, we're revolutionizing the online marketplace experience with a seller-first approach that benefits everyone. Our upcoming platform features an industry-leading 5% seller fee structure—one of the lowest in the marketplace industry—designed to empower sellers, drive competitive pricing, and deliver exceptional value to our customers.
Why 5% Changes Everything
Most major marketplaces charge sellers anywhere from 8% to 15% or more in fees, plus additional charges for payment processing, fulfillment, and advertising. These high costs force sellers to raise prices just to maintain their margins, ultimately passing those expenses on to customers.
EzBuyCo takes a different approach. Our 5% seller fee is designed to create a win-win-win scenario:
- Sellers keep more profit from every sale
- Customers pay lower prices because sellers don't need to inflate costs
- The marketplace grows as more sellers join and more customers discover better deals
How Our 5% Fee Works
Simple, Transparent Pricing
When you sell on the EzBuyCo marketplace, you pay just 5% of your total sale price. That's it. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no complex tier structures to navigate.
Example: If you sell a product for $100, you pay $5 to EzBuyCo and keep $95 (minus any payment processing fees, which are standard across all platforms).
What's Included in the 5%
Your seller fee covers:
- Access to our entire customer base
- Listing and catalog management tools
- Order management and processing systems
- Customer service support infrastructure
- Marketing and promotional exposure
- Analytics and reporting dashboards
- Secure payment processing integration
- Fraud protection and dispute resolution
No Monthly Fees, No Listing Fees
Unlike other platforms that charge monthly subscriptions or per-listing fees, EzBuyCo only charges when you make a sale. This means:
- Zero upfront costs to join
- No risk if your products don't sell immediately
- List as many products as you want at no extra charge
- Scale your business without worrying about tier upgrades
