Pricing
One fee, taken from the seller when something sells. Nothing to list, nothing to browse, and nothing added to your buyer's total.
The only fee Brindl charges
10% + $0.30 per sale
Charged on the item price, not on shipping. Taken out of the seller's payout, so the buyer pays exactly the price on the listing. If a sale never happens, Brindl never charges anything.
What you keep on a $45.00 sale
| Your buyer pays | $45.00 |
| Brindl's fee (10% + $0.30) | −$4.80 |
| Card processing | Included above |
| You keep | $40.20 |
Shipping sits outside all of this. Your buyer pays the real carrier rate at checkout and that money buys the label. Brindl takes no cut of it and adds no markup.
The same fee at other prices
| Sale price | Brindl's fee | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| $10.00 | $1.30 | $8.70 |
| $25.00 | $2.80 | $22.20 |
| $45.00 | $4.80 | $40.20 |
| $100.00 | $10.30 | $89.70 |
| $250.00 | $25.30 | $224.70 |
The fixed $0.30 is a larger share of a small sale than a big one. That part covers what the card processor charges on every payment, and it does not scale with price. The cheapest a listing can be through Brindl checkout is $0.50.
What buyers pay
Nothing beyond the listing price and real shipping. There is no buyer service fee, no processing surcharge, and no fee for having an account. The number on the listing is the number at checkout, before shipping and any tax your state requires.
Getting paid
Your money releases 3 days after the sale, into your Stripe balance, and you withdraw it to your bank whenever you like. The wait exists so a refund can come out of money still held here rather than being clawed back out of your bank account after the fact. Payouts run through Stripe, so you connect a bank account once and Brindl never sees the details.
Listings marked cash in person are free. That money never goes through Brindl, so Brindl takes no part of it.
Optional extras
None of these are required to sell. The fee above is the whole cost of a plain sale.

Referrals
If a sale came through someone's referral link, 5% of the sale goes to them. It comes out of Brindl's fee, not out of the seller's payout, so the seller keeps exactly the same amount either way.
How this compares
Brindl's fee sits next to Fiverr, Upwork, Etsy, Poshmark, Mercari and eBay on the comparison pages, with every competitor figure taken from that platform's own current fee page, and an honest note on where they are the better choice.
