the buyer fee.

Shown to the buyer at checkout. Not a surprise, not a markup hidden in your line. 6% of the ticket price, plus $0.50 flat, capped at $12.

# a $45 ticket, exactly:
ticket           $45.00
platform fee     $ 3.20    # (6% × 45) + 0.50
total to buyer   $48.20

your payout      $45.00    # less 1% if instant

Comparison: Posh charges 10% + $0.99 on a $45 ticket = $5.49 buyer fee. We charge $3.20. The difference compounds across a sold-out room.

why it's free.

Honest answer.

We make money on the buyer fee. The API is the product surface that earns it for us — every refund you process, every payout you trigger, every event you publish makes more transactions go through. Charging you a second time would just kneecap volume. So we don't.

If you find a place where this rule breaks (an API call that costs us real money and we don't charge for it), tell us. We'll either fix the call or fix the price — both transparently, both with notice.
