Listing on mr.bid is free. There is no insertion fee and no final-value commission on sales.
Buyer–seller payment stays between you and the other party. mr.bid does not hold those item funds, run a wallet, or process checkout for deals.
Optional manual escrow on a deal includes a 1.5% mr.bid service fee of the item price, paid to mr.bid. Staff set that percent in Admin. The fee is not taken from a wallet and is not the item payment to the seller. Staff stay involved until the buyer has received and inspected the item; when mr.bid has the green light, the seller is paid the agreed way.
Optional mr.bid service payments are separate. Sellers can buy featured ads, bumps, category or homepage placements, auction promotions, or a Professional Seller subscription by paying mr.bid directly (bank transfer or mobile money), then submitting the reference for admin verification. A future payment gateway can sit on the same records.
From the seller dashboard, use Promote on a live listing, open Professional Seller, or open Analytics. Current amounts are shown when you start a paid flow. Deal volume on Analytics is not money mr.bid collected.
