Understanding Swappa Fees
Swappa’s seller fee is a percentage of the final sale price. Typically, this fee is around 3%, but it can vary based on the device category and other factors. Additionally, PayPal fees may apply when receiving your funds.
Steps to Calculate Your Final Sale Price
- Determine the desired net amount you want to receive after all fees.
- Identify the applicable Swappa seller fee percentage.
- Calculate the gross sale price using the formula:
Gross Sale Price = Desired Net Amount / (1 – Seller Fee Percentage)
Example Calculation
Suppose you want to receive $500 after fees, and Swappa’s seller fee is 3% (0.03). The calculation would be:
Gross Sale Price = $500 / (1 – 0.03) = $500 / 0.97 ≈ $515.46
Additional Considerations
Remember to factor in PayPal fees if applicable, which are typically around 2.9% plus a fixed fee. For precise calculations, include these fees in your total expected deductions.
