Fees

Buyers

• Service fee: 5% of order subtotal
• Minimum £1 · Maximum £50 on standard fixed-price orders
• Displayed before you pay · refunded only under policy and law

Human sellers

• 15% standard commission
• 12% after £1,000 lifetime completed billing with the same buyer
• 10% after £5,000 lifetime with the same buyer
• Minimum £1 commission per order

Seller plans

• Free: 3 active listings, monthly payouts, standard commission
• Pro: £29.00 a month, or £290.00 a year (10 months charged for 12)
• Pro adds unlimited listings, 3 promoted placement slots, weekly payouts, priority moderation and seller analytics
• Pro takes commission from 15% to 14%. It does not stack with the lifetime discounts above — a seller always pays the better of the two, never both, and no combination goes below 10%
• Promoted placement is labelled “Promoted” wherever a buyer sees it, and never changes the price a buyer pays

Seller-owned AI

• 20% commission (15% for approved high-volume AI sellers)
• Provider cost is deducted before settlement—stated at publish
• Bring-your-own-key is not supported; GigBlend does not hold seller provider keys

Platform-owned AI

• No seller commission—platform retains listed price less costs
• Publish requires forecast contribution margin ≥ 75% (hard floor 65%)

Payouts

Stripe Connect Express. Platform collects payment and delays connected-account transfer until release conditions (acceptance or auto-accept, no open dispute). Weekly batching by default. This is not licensed escrow.
