Swappa Fee Explained

Swappa makes it easy and safe to buy and sell quality tech devices. However, it charges buyers a small fee. Sellers also incur PayPal fees for sold products. PayPal's fees are 3.49% + $0.49 per transaction, but may vary.

Sellers see two types of fees listed in the transaction information for any payment they get from a sale.

The first fee is the one charged by PayPal or the standard fee. It's always highlighted in the transaction details as well as in the seller's PayPal account history.
The second fee is the Partner fee, which sellers may notice when checking transaction details. Partner fee is added as part of a PayPal transaction. On Swappa, it is a combination of sales tax (where applicable) and Swappa fee. The buyer pays the partner fee. For example, if a seller sells a phone for $150, they would set their ask price to be $150 when they create a listing. The seller gets $150 minus the PayPal fee when you buy the phone.
