How the calculation works
- Digital products have no shipping charge, so the transaction fee base is just the listing price (plus any gift wrap).
- The $0.20 listing fee and 6.5% transaction fee still apply per item sold — there is no digital exemption.
- Offsite Ads still applies on attributed orders, calculated on the order total.
