How to read the price-tiered rows
A handful of categories — Jewelry, Watches, Clothing, Appliances, Baby Products, Beauty, Electronics Accessories, Furniture, Grocery, and Lawn Mowers & Snow Throwers — charge a different referral rate depending on the item's price. Jewelry, for example, drops from 20% on the first $250 plus 5% on the remainder. A $500 ring has a $62.50 referral fee; a $200 ring has a $40 fee. Clothing, Baby and Grocery use whole-price bands instead. Use the Referral Fee Calculator to resolve the exact tier for your price automatically.
