What is the setup fee?

A processing fee that covers setting up your account in the Yahoo! Small Business system.

What is the transaction fee?

A fee to maintain the infrastructure that supports your ecommerce services and transaction processing. This fee is based on the final price of the product and is not calculated on shipping and taxes.

For comparison, some large ecommerce companies spend roughly 5% to 8% of their sales to maintain their ecommerce infrastructure. We charge just 0.75% to 1.5% for access to similar ecommerce infrastructure and services of a similar level of quality.

How much should I expect to pay each month?
