Whatnot introduces tiered commission rates that fall as your sales grow

Your total sales over a four-week period now set your commission rate for the next four weeks. Sellers under $15,000 in sales per period keep the standard rate: 8% in most categories and 4% for coins and money. Higher tiers lower the rate category by category, down to 6.5% for sports cards and trading card games, 5% for other collectibles, 4.5% for fashion, 4% for everything else and 3.5% for coins.

The payment processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30 per order did not change.
