At After The Market, we are dedicated to providing a safe and secure platform for shopping, which is why we charge a 5% + R14.90 Buyer Protection fee at checkout. This fee is automatically added to the total transaction amount to prioritize the safety and convenience of our users.
Although it’s among the lowest fees in the market, our Buyer Protection fee covers a range of valuable services, including secure payments, our return and refund policy, dedicated customer support, and scam prevention.
Opening a shop, listing items, and selling on After The Market is completely free. There are no hidden fees, listing duration charges, or initial costs to list an item.
If a Seller lists an item at R300 and adds Pudo delivery for R60, the total purchase amount is R360. The Buyer Protection fee is calculated on this amount, so an additional 5% + R14.50 is applied at checkout. This means the Buyer pays a total of:
R360 + 5% (R18) + R14.50 = R392.50
