Worked example
A $650 Les Paul sale

A $650 Les Paul sold with no shipping charged has a $32.50 selling fee (5% of $650). Standard processing is $21.23 (3.19% × $650 + $0.49), making total fees $53.73 and the payout $596.27 before item and shipping costs.

Fee limits
The $0.50 minimum and $500 cap

Reverb's selling fee is never less than $0.50 and is capped at $500. The cap applies when item price plus shipping reaches $10,000. Payment processing and cross-border fees remain separate and are not capped by the $500 selling-fee limit.

Other rates
Preferred Seller, cross-border, and PayPal fees

Preferred Sellers pay 2.99% + $0.49 for Reverb Payments processing. Cross-border sales add 1% of the transaction total when buyer and seller are in different countries. PayPal-only orders use PayPal's own processing rate instead of the Reverb Payments rate shown here.
