As of July 1, 2021, sellers in certain countries are charged a small Regulatory Operating fee in addition to current selling costs. This fee is a percentage applied to the item price and shipping cost (including gift wrap and personalization costs, if applicable) and will vary based on seller location.
The cost of doing business in many countries has recently increased due to new regulations, such as Digital Services Tax.
The Regulatory Operating fee will help ensure that we’re able to continue to offer our services to sellers in these areas.
