What are seller fees?

Overview

Two fees come out of each accepted order:

• 5% admin commission on the product subtotal (not on shipping, not on the service fee).
• ₦500 flat service fee per order.

Shipping passes through to you in full. When you withdraw from your Javern Wallet, a flat ₦10 transaction fee applies.

The formula

For every accepted order, you earn:

(product subtotal × 0.95) + shipping

The platform keeps (product subtotal × 5%) + ₦500.

Worked example

An order totals ₦20,000 (₦18,000 product + ₦2,000 shipping):

• 5% commission on the ₦18,000 product subtotal = ₦900
• Flat service fee = ₦500
• Shipping passes through = ₦2,000
• You earn: (18,000 − 900) + 2,000 = ₦19,100
• Platform keeps: ₦900 + ₦500 = ₦1,400

Where the money lands

• If you have a Javern Wallet (BVN verified): earnings are credited to your wallet's available balance immediately on accept.
• If you don't have a Javern Wallet yet: earnings go to your legacy pending balance and become withdrawable only after the buyer confirms delivery. Verify your BVN to activate your wallet and skip the pending step — see How do I verify my BVN?.

Withdrawal fee

Separately, a ₦10 transaction fee applies to each Javern Wallet withdrawal. See What are withdrawal fees?.
