Further to what Vatican has posted, the Silk Road fees can be found in detail, with examples, in my post here:http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=100160.msg702790#msg702790Quoted for your convenience:Quote from: grahamgreene on January 04, 2013, 02:57 pmQuote from: moksha on January 04, 2013, 12:45 pmBeen searching the wiki and the forums and can't seem to see the transaction fee %'s spelled out anywhere. Anybody know them, or have a link\want to point me in the right direction?Hi moksha,The commission scale has been laid out on the forums a number of times but it always disappears in the haze of crazy posts! Here's an example from DPR's State of the Road Address:http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=8397.0Quote from: State of the Road Address on January 09, 2012, 03:56 amWe also went to the Silk Road independent sellers to see what they thought an appropriate commission schedule would look like. The average response looked like this:15% of the first $1011% of $10 - $508.14% of $50 - $2505.6% of $250 - $10003.7% of $1000 - $5000We looked at past sales data and our current and future revenue needs and were able to bring these numbers down even further:10% of the first $508.5% of $50 - 1506% of $150 - 3003% of $300 - 5002% of $500 - 10001.5% for everything over $1000So taking DPR's fee scale, here is how a sale is broken down:In a $300 sale, for example:$50 is charged at 10% of the first $50, so $5 fee.$100 is charged at 8.5% of the next $50 - $100, so $8.50 fee.$150 is charged at 6% of the final $150 - $300, so $9 fee.Total: $300.Total commission: $22.50Total paid to vendor for item: $277.50Total paid to vendor for item, if hedging order (@ 4% hedging fee): $266.40In a $1016 sale, for example:$50 is charged at 10% from the $0 - $50 point, so $5 fee.$100 is charged at 8.5% from the $50 - $100 point, so $8.50 fee.$150 is charged at 6% from the $150 - $300 point, so $9 fee.$200 is charged at 3% from the $300 - $500 point, so $6 fee.$500 is charged at 2% from the $500 - $1000 point, so $10 fee.$16 is charged at 1.5% from the $1000 and up point, so $0.24 fee.Total: $1016.Total commission: $38.74Total paid to vendor for item: $977.26Total paid to vendor for item, if hedging order (@ 4% hedging fee): $938.17You may also be interested in the post I wrote in response to a question asked by Bungee54 about pre-commission and post-commission pricing. That post explains how much you get if you choose pre-commission, how much you get if you choose post-commission, how much you get if you decide to hedge, and what the customer will actually see on the listing itself depending on the option you choose.You can find that post here:http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=37765.msg429683#msg429683- grahamgreene
