Event Pricing at a Glance
ShopBroker Market events can offer reduced service fees and per-seller item discounts. Here's how both work.
Reduced Service Fees
During a ShopBroker Market event, we may lower the service fee for all participating sellers. The event-wide service fee can be set to:
0%: No service fee (sellers keep their full listing price)
5%: Reduced fee
10%: Reduced fee
Standard rate: Same as outside of events (see Service Fee Breakdown)
The current service fee rate is displayed on the event page during live events. When the rate is lower than standard, you'll see a "Fees reduced to X%" or "No service fee" label.
Who Benefits?
The reduced service fee is a seller benefit. It means sellers keep more of each sale during the event. Buyers don't pay the service fee directly, but sellers with lower fees may pass savings along through better pricing.
When Does It Apply?
The reduced service fee applies to all transactions where:
The seller is approved for the event
The transaction occurs during the event's active period
Transactions completed before the event starts or after it ends use the standard service fee.
Per-Seller Discounts
Each seller at a ShopBroker Market event can set their own item discount between 0% and 50%, in 5% increments.
How Discounts Work
The seller chooses their discount percentage when applying to the event
The discount applies to all of the seller's listings during the event
Sellers can update their discount at any time before or during the event
How Discounts Appear
On seller shop cards: A discount badge shows the percentage off (e.g., "15% off") next to the seller's name.
At checkout: The discounted price is reflected in the item's listing price during the event.
Discount vs. Service Fee
These are two separate things:
Service Fee Reduction | Seller Discount | |
Set by | ShopBroker (per event) | Each seller individually |
Affects | Seller's payout (fee deduction) | Item price the buyer pays |
Range | 0-15% | 0-50% |
Benefits | Sellers keep more per sale | Buyers pay less per item |
They can stack. For example, a seller at an event with a 5% service fee who offers a 20% item discount is keeping more of each sale while also offering buyers a lower price.
Event Prizes
Prize structures vary by event and are listed on the event page. Under the May 29, 2026 Terms update, ongoing new BrokerBucks earning is scheduled to move to the Monthly Seller Dividend. There are three leaderboard categories:
Most Transactions
Most Shop Visits
Top Revenue
The top sellers in each category win according to that event's posted rules.
No Extra Costs
ShopBroker Market events don't add any fees for buyers or sellers:
No booth fees for sellers
No event entry fee for buyers
No listing fees during events
Delivery fees still apply as normal if a buyer chooses delivery
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get the reduced service fee on all my sales during the event?
Yes, as long as you're approved for the event and the sale happens during the active event period.
Can I change my discount during the event?
Yes. Click Edit My Discount on the event page to adjust your percentage at any time.
What if I'm in multiple events at the same time?
The service fee and discount for each event apply independently. Each event has its own settings.
Do event BrokerBucks stack with my existing balance?
Yes, if an event offers BrokerBucks. Those credits are added to your existing balance and reduce your service fees on future sales.
