How much does Discogs take from a $30 record?

9%, which is $2.70, leaving $27.30. Charge the buyer $5 of postage and the fee is charged on $35.00 instead, so it rises to $3.15 and the payout falls to $26.85 — 10.5% of what the record itself sold for.

Does Discogs charge its fee on shipping?

Yes. The 9% applies to the item price and the shipping costs together, so postage enlarges the fee without enlarging your proceeds: that money goes to the carrier. A $100 record posted for $6 is charged $9.54 rather than $9.00, and pays out $90.46.

What is the maximum Discogs fee?

$150 per order, which 9% reaches at $1,666.67 of item plus shipping. A $2,000 record is therefore charged $150.00 and pays out $1,850.00, an effective rate of 7.5% rather than 9%. Above that point every extra dollar of price is free of selling fees.

Is there a minimum Discogs fee?

$0.10 per order. It binds only below about $1.11 of item plus shipping, so a $1.00 single is charged $0.10 and pays out $0.90, which is 10% of the price. For most sellers it is a rounding detail rather than a cost.

Does Discogs charge a listing fee?

No. Sellers pay only when an item sells, so unsold inventory costs nothing to keep online. The 9% selling fee is the only charge Discogs publishes on this schedule; whatever your payment provider takes to move the buyer's money is separate and is not shown here.

How do I price a record so I keep a round number?

Switch the calculator to "I want to net" and enter your target. To keep $100.00 with no postage charged you list at $109.89, with $9.89 of fees; charge $6 of postage and the price you need becomes $110.48, because the fee is charged on the postage too.

The primary source gives minimum/maximum fee amounts for ten settlement currencies besides USD (e.g. GBP/EUR 0.10–150, JPY 10.00–15000); only the USD figures are modeled since this calculator is scoped to the US. Applicable taxes (VAT/GST/JCT for non-US sellers) are collected alongside the fee via PayPal's "Partner Fee"/"Partner Commission" line item but are not part of the selling fee itself and are out of scope here (US only).
