Fee Structure

📣 Simple, Fair & Transparent

Welcome to Hustlefella — a marketplace built for sellers who want growth, simplicity, and real value without being burdened by excessive commissions, hidden deductions, or complicated withdrawal systems.

We charge 8.5% + R2 per successful sale, and that’s it.

There are no additional withdrawal fees, no monthly marketplace fees, and no surprise deductions when you request your earnings. Vendors are paid via EFT into their chosen bank accounts, subject to a minimum withdrawal amount of R200. To protect buyers and sellers, earnings become available for withdrawal once an order has been successfully completed and has passed a short 2-day clearance period. Withdrawals are then processed manually by the Hustlefella team.


💼 Why We Charge a Commission

Hustlefella does not charge:

  • Monthly subscription fees

  • Listing fees

  • Setup fees

  • Renewal fees

Instead, we charge a simple performance-based fee8.5% + R2 only when you make a sale.

This means:
✔️ You pay nothing until you earn revenue
✔️ Hustlefella succeeds only when you succeed
✔️ There’s zero financial risk just to list products
