Buyer checkout fee
At checkout, buyers are charged the item price plus a 5.7% service fee.
The buyer fee is shown separately before payment is completed so both sides can see the order math clearly.
Seller transaction fees by plan
Free sellers pay an 8% platform transaction fee.
Pro Seller accounts pay a 5% platform transaction fee.
Enterprise accounts pay a 0% platform transaction fee.
What seller fees are meant to cover
The CHEX terms summary says seller fees are intended to support premium advertising, marketing campaigns, and merchandising tools that help inventory get discovered.
Those fees also support the official transaction flow that keeps payment, delivery, and payout records in one place.
If you are comparing plans, review both the transaction-fee rate and the promotional value tied to the marketplace.
Processing and payout math
Clubhouse Exchange currently deducts Stripe processing of 2.9% plus $0.30 from the sale amount.
The seller's platform transaction fee is then calculated from the accepted sale price based on the seller's subscription tier.
The remaining balance is sent to the seller's connected Stripe payout account once funds are released.
When funds are released
The CHEX terms summary states that funds are securely held and become available once the buyer approves the sale or 72 hours after the item arrives at the verified address, whichever comes first.
Final bank arrival timing depends on Stripe processing and the seller's connected account status.
If payout setup is incomplete, funds cannot be transferred until the seller finishes Stripe onboarding.
