Understanding the flat 8% fee (and the FX trick it avoids)
The most common beginner mistake is comparing agents by their advertised fee alone. We break down why the exchange rate matters just as much, and how a flat 8% keeps the math simple.
- “0% fee” can still cost more if the exchange rate is marked up 3–5%.
- Fansbuy states live mid-market rates and no hidden FX margin, so the checkout number is the real number.
- To compare any two agents fairly, price the same item on both and look at the final paid total.
- See the full worked example on the Costs page.
