Linden and the marketplace

[PhantomPixel]

So, I apologise if have missed something but since when did the lindens start taking a 5% fee when something is sold on the market?. I have just sold an item for 10k and received 9.5k. Did I miss an announcement?

I thought it was usually 10%.

They've always taken a percentage.

Always 5%.

I know they always took a percentage but my last 4 sales on this item has given me more than 9.5k and then this one is 5%. Unless something messed up somewhere along the line

5% rounded as long as I can remember.

Greetings!

The Second Life Marketplace has always charged a commission fee of 5% with a minimum commission fee of 1L for items over 10L.

As a seller, if you received less than the 5% difference in price, please check to see if you have set up a Distribution on the product as in most cases, the "missing" funds were usually paid out to another user that you choose when the Product Listing was created.

If you do not have a Distribution set up on the product, and you received less than the %5 difference, please create a Support Ticket using the options for Marketplace and General Marketplace Issues and a member of Customer Support will be happy to review the sale and assist you further with understanding the profit amount.
