Selling Fees & Payouts
Last updated: 28 June 2026
This policy explains what Flippiks charges sellers on an on-platform sale, and how and when you get paid. It forms part of our Terms of Service. Listing an item is free — fees only apply when an item sells.
1. Selling fee
The Flippiks selling fee depends on the type of listing:
- Your own items — 10%of the item’s sale price.
- Flipped deals (items you re-list from a deal we surfaced) — 15% of the markup (your sale price minus the source price), so a flip is never made unprofitable by our fee.
To cover card-processing costs, the fee on a sale is never less than the payment processor’s fee for that transaction. The amount is shown to you as the “Flippiks fee” on your dashboard for every sale.
2. Postage
Postage you charge the buyer is passed through to you in full — the Flippiks fee is calculated on the item price only, never on postage. You set your postage classes and prices when you list; the buyer chooses one at checkout.
3. How and when you're paid
Payments and payouts are handled by Stripe. To sell you must connect a Stripe account and complete its onboarding (identity and bank details) — until then your items can’t be bought. When an item sells, the buyer’s payment is taken, the Flippiks fee is deducted, and the remainder (item price minus fee, plus postage) is routed to your connected Stripe account.
An order completes— and your payout is confirmed — when the buyer confirms they’ve received the item, or automatically 7 days after it’s marked shippedif there’s no open case. If a buyer opens a case, the order is paused until it’s resolved (see our Returns & Refunds policy). Stripe’s own payout timing then applies.
4. Refunds and fees
If an order is refunded, the refund reverses the original charge — including the Flippiks fee and the postage — so a fully refunded order costs you nothing in fees.
5. Currency
Listings on flippiks.co.uk are priced and paid in GBP (£); listings on flippiks.com in USD ($). Fees and payouts are in the same currency as the sale.
6. Changes to fees
We may change our fees from time to time. Any change applies to sales made after it takes effect, and we’ll update this page (and, for material changes, take reasonable steps to let you know).
