Marketplace Fees

Steam charges a 15% transaction fee on each marketplace sale, which is made up of two parts:

• Steam Transaction Fee (5%): This goes to Valve for facilitating the transaction.
• Game Publisher Fee (10%): This goes to the publisher of the game the item is from (not just Valve games—all publishers receive this fee for their own items).

SGI automatically accounts for the 15% Steam transaction fee when you set a sale price. The price you enter is what the buyer pays — SGI works out the correct listing price so that the buyer pays exactly that amount.

If you set a price of $0.50, the buyer pays $0.50 and you receive $0.44 after fees.
