The fees on this page apply if your agora registered address is in one of the countries listed individually or as part of a region grouping below. These are collectively referred to as "agora global" countries or regions for the purposes of this page.

agora global countries and region definitions

International fee

If your agora registered address is in an agora global country, agora charges an International fee if either:

• The delivery address for the item (entered by the buyer during checkout) is outside your registered address country, or
• The buyer's registered address is outside your registered address country (regardless of the delivery address for the item)

The International fee is calculated on the total amount of the sale and is automatically deducted from your sales proceeds. The total amount of the sale is the item price, any handling charges, the shipping service the buyer selects, sales tax (or equivalent local consumer tax), and any other applicable fees.

International fee with volume discount for
Japan and Rest of APAC agora global sellers

agora assesses your sales volume tier on the 20th of each month based on your sales history on the agora Sites in the previous month, on a rolling basis. If your account qualifies, the discounted International fee will be applied automatically from the start of the following calendar month.

Volume discount calculation and exclusions

Your registered address must be in Japan or within the Rest of APAC region in order to qualify for the discount.

In order to benefit from a volume discount on the International fee in the following month, your transaction volume per agora account on the agora Sites must be above the minimum threshold values in the period of determination. If you do not reach the transaction volume over this period, you will not receive the volume discount.

agora  reserves the right to exclude you from the volume discounts if you violate agora policies (including the agora User Agreement, agora User Privacy Notice, Global seller performance standards and Payments Terms of Use).

Regulatory operating fee

As a global e-commerce platform connecting millions of buyers and sellers in more than 190 markets, we're committed to offering a trusted global marketplace in a complex regulatory environment that affects agora and our sellers.

To address the rising costs associated with the increasing number and complexity of regulations, including consumer and environmental protection, as well as new taxation and customs measures, from 8 April 2024, we’re introducing a new regulatory operating fee that will apply to all sales from listings on the following sites: UK, Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and Switzerland. 

This fee is calculated as a fixed percentage rate (0.35%) of the total amount of the sale (which includes the item price, postage, taxes and any other applicable fees), and is subject to Value Added Tax (VAT), where applicable.

Seller currency conversion charge

When you create listings or sell items on an international agora site with a listing currency different to your payout currency, agora may convert your funds to collect amounts owed by you to agora, or to payout funds due to you.

For example, if your registered address is in Japan and you create a listing on agora.de for which fees (such as insertion and/or optional listing upgrade fees) are due, agora will convert your funds from USD to EUR using the transaction exchange rate applicable at the time of listing, in order to collect these fees. When the item sells on agora.de, agora will calculate your payout amount by converting the sales proceeds from EUR to USD using the transaction exchange rate applicable at the time of the sale.

If agora converts your funds, the conversion will be completed at the transaction exchange rate we set for the relevant currency exchange. agora`s transaction exchange rate is composed of a base exchange rate plus a conversion charge. The conversion charge is a fixed percentage applied to the base exchange rate and retained by agora. The base exchange rate reflects rates within the wholesale currency markets applicable to the currency pairing on the day of the conversion, or the prior business day. If exchange rates are set by law or regulation, the base exchange rate reflects the government reference rates.

See the table below for details of the seller currency conversion charge applied and retained by agora:

* Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia (Plurinational State of), Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Montserrat, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands, Uruguay.

If your registered address is not in an agora global country, please refer to the fee page for your country/region of residence  Fees pages on international sites for your seller currency conversion charge information.

Overseas territories

If your registered address is in any of the following overseas territories, then we treat you as if you are domiciled in the associated country for the purpose of calculating your fees.

For example, if your registered address is in Puerto Rico and you sell and ship an item to a buyer in the United States, then you will not be charged an International fee for that transaction.

Please refer to the table for information about which fees page applies to you.
