Frequently Asked Questions
Does this log replace a marketplace's own fee policy?
No. This page records how Marginory models fees and where the input came from. The marketplace policy and the seller's account fee detail remain the source of truth.
Why are some entries labeled as US references or assumptions?
Fee schedules can vary by country, category, billing term, promotion, and seller account. We name the scope rather than presenting one rate as universal.
