What's included
This compares selling & payment fees only for DE business sellers — each marketplace's referral, transaction or final-value fee, payment processing, and any per-order, listing or regulatory operating fee. It excludes VAT on those fees, which is reclaimable if you are VAT-registered, so the platforms line up on what they actually keep. Amazon FBA fulfilment and Shopify's monthly subscription are excluded too; Shopify is not shown for DE as it is a self-hosted store rather than a marketplace.
