What are the typical fees involved when selling comic books on popular online platforms?

Fees vary significantly by platform. On eBay, sellers typically face a final value fee (a percentage of the total sale price, including shipping, often around 12-15% for comics, varying by category and store subscription), and payment processing fees (e.g., PayPal or eBay's managed payments, usually around 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction). Consignment services, like those offered by ComicLink or Heritage Auctions, can charge 10-20% or more of the final sale price, sometimes with additional listing or photography fees, but they handle all the work. Direct sales to online retailers might offer a lower payout but with no selling fees.
