The exact numbers

How the Buyer Protection Fee works

When you buy materials, you pay a Buyer Protection Fee on top of the listed price — it funds secure payments, seller verification, collection confirmation and dispute support. The fee applies in progressive bands, like a tax rate. Your subscription reduces the rate in each band, so Trade and Business members pay less when purchasing.

What happens if I go over my listing limit?

You'll keep every listing you already have live, but you won't be able to publish a new one until you're back under the limit or you upgrade.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes — upgrade or downgrade at any time from Settings. Changes to your Buyer Protection Fee rate and listing limit apply from your next billing date.

Do I pay a fee when my materials sell?

No. Sellers keep 100% of their listed price — there are zero seller fees on any plan. Buyers pay a separate Buyer Protection Fee. Your own subscription reduces the Buyer Protection Fee you pay when purchasing materials.

What are Boost and Featured credits?

Boost gives a listing 24 hours of increased visibility; Featured gives it 7 days of prominent placement. Included credits are used before you're charged for extra.

How is my Buyer Protection Fee calculated?

It's a progressive rate applied in bands, similar to income tax — a lower percentage applies to each higher portion of the order value. Your plan lowers the rate in every band, so paid members pay less on every purchase.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — cancel from your account settings at any time. Your plan stays active until the end of your current billing period, and all your live listings remain safe. There are no cancellation fees.

Sellers keep 100% of their listed price — there are no seller fees on any plan. When you buy materials, you pay a Buyer Protection Fee, calculated progressively: 6% on the first £500, 4% between £500–£2,000, 2.5% between £2,000–£5,000, and 1% above £5,000. Your subscription reduces this fee when you buy — Trade members pay 20% less, Business members pay 35% less. Subscriptions are billed separately from material orders. Cancel anytime — your listings stay safe.
