        "rendered": "<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commission rates refer to the percentage or fixed fee that may be charged when a sale is completed through markto.ch (if platform-based payments or transaction services are used). Understanding how commissions are calculated helps sellers price their items accurately and anticipate final earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Percentage-Based Commission<\/strong><br>In many cases, commission is calculated as a percentage of the final sale price. For example, if the commission rate is 5% and an item sells for 1,000 CHF, the commission would be 50 CHF. The remaining amount is paid to the seller after fees are deducted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Fixed Fee Commission<\/strong><br>Some categories may use a fixed commission amount instead of a percentage. This means the same fee applies regardless of the final selling price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Category-Based Rates<\/strong><br>Commission rates may vary depending on the category. High-value categories such as vehicles or real estate may have different structures compared to electronics or general goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Promotional or Subscription Impact<\/strong><br>If you use premium features, featured listings, or a seller subscription plan, commission structures may differ or be reduced depending on your package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. When Commission Is Charged<\/strong><br>Commission is typically charged only after a successful transaction. If no sale occurs, no commission applies (unless separate listing or promotion fees were selected).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before listing an item, review the applicable commission structure for your category. Factoring commission into your pricing ensures transparency and helps you accurately calculate your net earnings.<\/p>",
