from the buyer's guide: from the seller's guide: The commission is between the site and the vendors. The price you pay at checkout is the price you pay. The costs that go into that price are irrelevant to the checkout process. Whether they are currency exchange costs, labor costs, materials, cost from suppliers, or the commission. If it's too high, don't buy. the only thing you have to worry about is the part in the buyer's guide about the escrow hedge. If you don't like it, don't buy from sellers who hedge. And no, amazon doesn't display their commission at checkout for the same reasons.
