Questions about the Security fee.
Who pays the Security fee?
Sellers list for free. No seller fees. Buyers pay the Security fee as a separate part of their order.
Is it included in the product’s price?
No. The item price and the buyer’s Security fee are shown separately, so you can see the amount of each.
Does it guarantee every transaction?
The Security fee supports marketplace safety. It does not itself provide insurance, guarantee a transaction, or promise a particular claim outcome.
Why support both buyers and sellers?
A trustworthy marketplace depends on both. Protecting accounts, addressing abuse, and supporting a healthier community helps everyone who uses SellRiot.
