Payments & payouts
Save payment methods, review order totals, and understand how payments, the 8% sales fee and seller payouts work.
From checkout to seller payments
An accepted offer creates the order and reserves its inventory for payment. The Buyer opens that order’s Payment request, checks the contact and address details, then reviews the total before authorizing payment. Accepting an offer does not charge a card.
- Review the accepted order. Use My offers or Orders to continue the existing payment request.
- Confirm your details. Check who is buying, where the goods should go and the complete amount.
- Authorize payment. The payment service must confirm success before the order becomes paid.
- Follow fulfillment and receipt. The Seller prepares the goods; the Buyer confirms receipt when the inventory has been checked.
- Read payout status separately. A completed Cossad sale and a Stripe-to-bank payout describe different events.

Payment, receipt and bank payout
Buyers pay shipping. Sellers pay a standard 8% sales fee on merchandise across all product categories. Shipping and separately charged tax are excluded from the fee calculation.
- Payment confirmed: the payment result has been verified. Opening Checkout or returning from it is not confirmation.
- Buyer receipt confirmed: the Buyer has completed the receipt action and the eligible Cossad sale/fee can be recorded as earned.
- Bank payout: Stripe pays funds from the connected account to its bank under that account’s actual payout conditions.
