We get it — fees aren’t fun. But we want to be completely transparent about why Firesale charges a 10% fee per sale, and more importantly, what you’re getting in return.
Here’s the short version:
🔥 We do a ton of work so you don’t have to.
✅ What does the 10% fee include?

We look at it as our technology is like giving you a full-time assistant to enter all of this information and sell the items for you - without any hassle!!
