The 1% promise

One fee. Always visible. Never a gotcha.

Most marketplaces bury 10–15% in fees. Gideon charges a flat 1% platform fee on completed marketplace sales — and shows every other cost separately so you always know your real number.

1% platform fee

Charged on the item subtotal of a completed sale. Lead-only categories pay no sale fee at all.

Costs shown separately

Payment processing, shipping, taxes, and optional boosts are itemized — never blended into a mystery rate.

Free to start

The Free Seller plan is $0/month. Upgrade only when the seller-OS tools pay for themselves.

Why Gideon

On a $100 sale, you keep $100.

Amazon, eBay, and Poshmark take a double-digit cut. Gideon charges a flat 1% — about $7.20 more in your pocket on a $100 sale than the average of the other major platforms, and it compounds on every order.
